Can see you lot will need some persuading. (sigh) I don't mind... I'll keep bumping, and then you'll all say 'Thank you Orlando for forcing us to watch the most lovely, moving, lyrical, picturesque film ever in the whole world...'

And did Isabel Colegate also not write the Orlando Trilogy?
I am working, can you believe it, so will set the video.
Loved the book - one of the first proper Penguins I ever bought for myself - and I think it may even have been a film-tie-in edition...

Oh, she did Marina, she did!

'Orlando at the Brazen Threshold'... Can't see a title like that making it onto Richard and Judy's bookclub list!
