R.I.P. Pete Postlethwaite

[geoffduc]

I've just been watching on BBC tv a program about Pete and how a young film producer had an idea for a short film about an old guy who has flash backs to his childhood and he thought that Pete would be prefect for the role but couldn't afford him, well a chance meeting in a manchester pub lead to Pete doing the film for free. The name of the film is "Waving at Trains" so if you can try and watch it because I certainly will.
As has been said Brassed Off was really true to life at that time over her in the UK and it was to my mind the start of what I call the police state and the decline of the working class.

Yet again R.I.P. Pete
