Local Hero

Of course.

all right so i mean this this film opens um it's a ken russell film uh and it's got it's pretty star-studded it has to be said like there's a lot of quite famous faces in it that you'll recognize kim's already mentioned hugh grant but it also has peter capaldi as a as one of the main characters well known as Doctor Who or as Malcolm Tucker in The Thick of It or as one of the leads from Local Hero but yeah Very versatile Scottish actor.

They look too similar in this movie as both young men, because the movie starts and we see the archaeologist.

I'm like, oh, that's a young Hugh Grant.

But it's amazing and brilliant films ever made.

I was watching, this is off the subject, a little behind the scenes of the film Local Hero that was shot up in Scotland.

One of my favorite films I've watched a million times.

But, you know, just the director was the guy who had written it.

But I mean, your comfort viewing, what would it be? The thing that you literally put around you like a dressing gown.

I think it would probably be Local Hero, I think.

Okay, yeah, which is a brilliant choice.

And also the soundtrack is so amazing as well.

I think

that's probably what I'd do.

No, Local Hero is a very, very good choice.

Let us know if you want to chip in on this or have your two penneth.

I know.

I know Nick is a huge fan of, if I'm remembering correctly, he's a huge fan of local hero.

Is that what it's called? Yeah.

so Burt in that is yeah that's a good movie that he has a it's almost like it's almost like a Tom Cruise Lex Grossman role where like he just shows up randomly and he's not in it for very long but it's like totally awesome

We need more of that.

But we got some things coming.

Go watch Local Hero.

Go watch Crimson Pirate.

That was my favourite.

Thunderstruck, Local Hero and Blurred and Racist in that line-up.

I love Thunderstruck, Tim.

I think Local Hero should always have a place.

And I think ACDC, as Benny Boy says, pumps up the crowd.

And I think Local Hero gets the hairs on the back of everyone's neck up, so I still think that would be good.

JJ makes another good suggestion and tips his hat to Harry Palmer of course when the beans come out the tin Slappy will ask for the Christmas tree another classic line Mozza loves the new version it's more back to its folk roots and I love the drum beat says Mozza And Simon, I don't think anybody disagrees with you.

It's not going to build free match atmosphere.

But I remember enjoying it.

It's a movie called Local Hero.

And there's a very, very young Peter Capaldi.

He looks so fresh-faced in there.

So I think it would have got Best of Both Worlds.

That's such a good movie.

The local hero.

And Peter Capaldi was so good.
