THE Friday Boys are a disparate group of men spread across Tyneside who meet once a week - 'always on a Friday' - to talk about the arts, raise a glass to recently departed heroes and villains and, at the evening's end, down a whisky or two. The FBs have only one golden rule - talk of the working week is strictly off-limit.
Well, Spielberg's got nothing to worry about, has he?

ReplyDeleteLike to see another episode especially if you can set on a Saturday morning in the Lit & Phil when the excesses of the night before have left their indelible mark on shins and psyche alike.
More please!
Showbiz kids making movies for themselves...

ReplyDeleteWhat script?
ReplyDeleteWaiting for Jimmy Henderson.
