Yes, indeed, dear reader, you always get 'double-bubble' here at D&N!
The first 'Triple Corker' is on BBC1 tonight at midnight - so set your recorders! It is the film Cabaret and it is one of the very best films ever made! I'm sure you've all seen it before but it is so brilliant that you can return to it time and again. What Bob Fosse did for the bowler hat industry is worth an award on its own!
The second 'Triple Corker' is Trust Your Eyes from the thriller writer, Linwood Barclay. I have rated him highly before but this one 'out-corkers' the rest. It has within it two seperate plot lines and I can tell you that the final 'twist of twists' is on the very last page! How he manages to hang onto the thread of these two convoluted stories I just do not know but I suspect he would be a very able three-dimensional chess player!
The book is on offer at Amazon for only £3.85 so after you have set your recording-thingie for Cabaret tonight get on to them!
Cabaret is top stuff, I agree. How did you like Sweet Charity?

I never saw it! Don't ask me why, just missed it, that's all.

Cabaret was based on I Am A Camera. Ever read it? Great book.
Fosse, Kander, and Ebb also did Chicago, made into a movie awhile back, and I think it's better than Cabaret. It stars one of your fantasy sweet-hearts, that three-named welsh woman.

No, Dom, I never read the book but I did see the stage version which was rather poor, I thought, but the film . . . ! Yes, I did see 'Chicago' and that was the reverse, superb stage show, not quite so good film.
