I'm sorry, but I think I need help about the SFX video (here so you don't have to navigate upthread to find it), which we're trying to translate for the French fans, and there's a word I still can't understand after many listenings. At about 2:10, when Gavin Scott calls, he says the police station would need a special room for the what? the dead? the deaf?

Pretty sure it's "the dead" - I'm guessing a morgue in A-M might be a busier place than most, with some corpses refusing to lay still.

I just listened again and it's definitely "A special room for the dead". :wink:

I thought it was the dead too, but I can hear a kind of sss sound at the end; maybe it's just a trick of the phone line. Thanks a lot!

(I feel like Susan in Soul Music. My grandfather is... deaf? You came all the way to tell me about hearing deficiencies?)

I've listened to it a couple of time now and agree with yourself and Tony it is 'dead'

Someone had already posted it on this thread, actually, but I'm glad my, well, dead-deafness had a positive result

Myself included :wink:

I've been watching the first season of The Tudors and I've noticed this bloke: Steve Waddington
Okay, so he's forty odd and has brown eyes, but wouldn't he make a pretty decent Carrot? Just a thought.
Also from the first episode of the Tudors, Jon Pertwee's lad Sean could make a pretty good Vimes. Again, just a thought.

Yes yes yes! Sean Pertwee rules and would be the best Vimes, I take back all of my previous suggestions.

Good choice on sean pertweet he looks like vimes but at the same time he can act really well

by **DaveC** » Tue Apr 05, 2011 9:54 am

He has amazing range. Dog Soldiers, though is still my favourite.

Sneak preview :wink:

I read through it in a shop but there wasn't enough to warrant buying it there and then.
