I thought the constantly saying her name was playing off the repeated joke of the market research man constantly saying everyone's names (presumably to make them feel 'valued').

I think Father Ted 'technically' is British, it was made by a British production company for a British channel.

Ross, clearly

If Grammer gruesomely murdered everyone I cared about, I'd probably still watch two episodes of Frasier a day.

Who are you talking about? Both Renner and Lawrence are in more than one franchise?

Well as Shakespeare wrote, 'Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,/
Creeps in this petty pace from mediocre Amanda Seyfried movie to mediocre Amanda Seyfried movie/ To the last syllable of recorded time.' Hope that helps!

Um… OK? I thought I was answering your question? Cool YOUR jets.

Your Willis/Rock/Streep/Dench comparison doesn't make any sense as an analogy for Lawrence/Renner. Willis and The Rock get paid more because they are leads in action films, which make more money than any other type of film. They are different kinds of actor than Streep and Dench. Whereas Lawrence and Renner are both…

Yeah, I feel like age/number of roles is a big part of status- I can't imagine Seyfried would be that surprised to get less than Brosnan or Firth. Though on the other hand I find it hard to imagine Cooper getting that much (though that goes for anyone who's been suggested really).

If it's Mamma Mia I'd say Dominic Cooper would be more likely to be the actor.

Maybe she means Dear John? I'd say she was about equal to Channing Tatum in 2010. That's stretching the 'few years ago' criteria though.

Have you not come across her father? He'd be releasing them in a gold-plated coffin-shaped CD case about two hours later.

I think I saw her first in Tipping the Velvet- that was really good. Don't know how easy it is to get hold of now though.

Well I see the resemblance now, but I'd hardly assume she was her daughter off my own bat! Though I only found out the other day that Toby Stephens was the son of Maggie Smith and Robert Stephens, so my knowledge of British thesp family trees is obviously lacking.

Easy to name examples of people who did some TV prior to film, but if you look at it the other way round, people who were leads in big TV hits who have had a good film career, then I would say more don't than do.
(Also I don't think Farrell's a very good example- wasn't he on like one series of Ballykissangel some…

This was brilliant, I adore her. And I can't believe I didn't know Rachael Stirling is her daughter!

I think Parks being so warm-hearted is exactly why they did the Jerry thing- the main characters being all so warm and fuzzy and get along so well together is what makes it amusingly incongruous that they all arbitrarily hate this one innocuous guy. All the antagonism is displaced onto him. It worked for me, but it's…

I live in a converted chapel, she's welcome to come round here and get her kit off. God knows I've accidentally flashed the neighbours often enough.

I can never understand why Americans find this concept difficult. You understand how someone can be both American and, say, Texan, right? Without Texan being a synonym for American, and without every American being Texan? This is exactly like that.

Frasier is a psychiatrist, not a psychologist.
