Since it's been discussed here before, and some [ many ? ] of you may not have seen it, “The Boys and Girl From The County Clare” is being shown on BBC1 this Tuesday coming at 11.55pm – set your video/DVD recorders, and look out for “Ptarmigan”.

Well worth watching if you haven't seen it.

Reminder...............

I just got this, based on reading about it here....we enjoyed it, going to pass it around to buddies. Maybe it's just me, but I found the fiddle faking the hardest thing to watch. Tunes were fine.

I've wondered why, with Andrea cast in the lead, they didn't just alter the script and story to have her play flute, which she wouldn't have to fake-finger. I guess the general public wouldn't necessarily recognize a wooden flute (Is that a clarinet?). Of course, Ptarmigan wasn't faking it ...

[quote="MTGuru"]Thanks, Kenny. Yes, it's great to see Ptarmigan in the opening scene.

I am ordering a copy of the dvd. Who do I look for in the opening scene to see Ptarmigan?

Thanks!

Can't miss him. He's the evil codger poisoning his barefoot lads' minds with The Rolling Wave.

Of course, one of the boys grows up to become the Chief Engineer of the Starship Enterprise, so maybe Ptarmi deserves some of the credit.

Thanks, MTGuru Now the DVD just has to get here.

Love the movie...saw it at the Seattle film festival...one of my favorite movies.
