jsslatic Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Just watched Marvellous on BBC iPlayer - absolutely brilliant. Kind of biopic about the Stoke kitman under Lou Macari who had learning difficulties...heatwarming, funny and superbly made. Thoroughly recommended.

Diego_Sideburns Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I agree with JSS - by the way, he meant heartwarming. I now look at Lou Macari in a completely different light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
