I've been watching the Marple series with Geraldine McEwan (and have been enjoying it), but it's funny just how much you can play British actor bingo in every episode. Therefore, realizing there are only a total of 50 actors across the pond, I have decided to move to the UK where I will be promptly given acting gigs for the rest of my life. (I hereby submit my high school play acting experience.)

I plan on fully enjoying the milk trucks, for they are adorable.

You may have to import your own corn dogs.

*wibbles*

Bwhahaha! I do that too. I kept looking at Lindsay Duncan who is in Waters of Mars and wondering where I'd seen her. I finally figured out she was in the Poirot episode The Mystery of the Blue Train.

Careful now. There might be a bomb on that milk truck. ;)

:D I know her from Rome.

Never! They're too adorable to explode.

So it's not just me who has noticed this then!? I've thought the same thing, and I always get a kick out of picking out people and naming what roles they've been in, who've they worked with etc.

I want a milk truck to deliver my milk!

It's even more noticeable than Canadian actor bingo!

I don't even drink milk and I want it to deliver milk. :D

Milk truck?

Those little milk delivery truck things! As seen on Doctor Who!

Is that what they're called? THAT IS EVEN MORE ADORABLE.

Ohh! Milk floats! hehehhe.

Now, why are they called milk floats... actually, I have no idea - I must find out!
They are weird things - run on batteries so nice & quiet (good for the eraly morning) but slooooow. We still have doorstep deliveries but thanks to the supermarkets' domination of the WORLD, the milkmen (milkpersons sound wrong... in fact our milkie was a woman.. when she would call around for the money at the end of the week, she used to bang on the door and yell 'MILKMAN!' LOL, I digress) are a dying breed.

Also, as a further digression, when I was at college (in the 80's so not exactly in the mists of time, hehe) in Edinburgh I used to see one of the last milk floats pulled by a horse. So cool to see Trigger still on his round, holding up the traffic *g*
He was a character; the kids loved him
*goes all nostalgic*

**sorry had to delete & repost comment so that it actually made sense *rolls eyes*

I don't believe thsi, but they even have an entry on wikipedia ~

AWWWWWWWW! IT IS SO CUTE!

Whenever I see one of the milk trucks, I'm always on the bus, so I've never got time to take a photo for you all and show you. XD

And I would totally approve of you moving to England. Especially if you became an actress, then eventually you'd be in Doctor Who! :D

Maybe I'd even get to be a temorary love interest of the Doctor's! I'm guessing there'll be one a week, so my odds are good!

Yes!yes!That would be awesome!With Moffat behind the wheel we could all go to England and be on DW. XD

An excellent plan. You can always learn to make your own corndogs! Who knows, you could start a trend.

I didn't watch Children of Earth, but my husband did. I walked through the room during one of Peter Capaldi's scenes and had to stop for a minute to figure out why he looked so familiar. No, sadly, I didn't recognize him from Doctor Who. He was geeky young man who worked for the oil company in "Local Hero". I love that movie.

Have you ever watched "Father Ted"? Rattus Aerius has. A milk float features prominently in one of the episodes. It's very suspenseful, but I don't want to spoil it for you.

1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tbsp. sugar

Mix together all ingredients. Dip wieners in the batter and fry in hot oil until brown.

Shamelessly Plagiarized from Cooks.com (where there are some other corndog recipes as well)

OOOOOOOOH! Thanks!

I haven't watched Father Ted, but if it has a milk float, I am intrigued. :D

I'm pretty sure there's a tv trope page about that. "so many equity actors" or something like that. I won't link.

I really enjoy playing the bingo too, It's kinda funny, watching and going "hey it's that actor I saw on a and b and c and d"

you oughta write shows for the beeb,not star in them

I think I'd be too cheerful for the BBC. I have an aversion to killing off characters. :D
