I need to know what Bob Hoskins said to Princess Diana in front of Roger Rabbit at the London premiere of WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT (1988).

Bob Hoskins meets Princess Diana as a full size Roger Rabbit costumed character stands next to them.

Why am I hearing that pig with Roger Allam's (playing first officer Douglas Richardson in Cabin Pressure) voice.

Went to the farm earlier. Saw the most coquettish pig you've ever met.

A pig, working the camera like her life depends on it.

Fun factory: I once had an allergic reaction to egg in the kitchen while my dad and brother watched that in the living room, so I associate it with the smell of scrambled egg.

It came on while I was at work the other day, and it was followed by "If Tomorrow Never Comes", which is level worst. So fucking depressing.

My kid has been on the waiting list for 3 years, and their life is on hold until they get their assessment. It's so frustrating.

Nothing gets me out of bed quicker than the sound of Alf being sick. Two socks deposited on the hallway rug, and I just managed to stop him re-eating one of them. Dogs are disgusting creatures 🤢😂

I've always pictured the microwaves as the integrated ones in a high cupboard (having just de-installed one at my in-laws because they couldn't reach it!)

Is there anything more Trump coded than throwing a tantrum because he didn't win a prize?

Vicky the Labrat @vickythelabrat.bsky.social · 3d

Both 😂
