Madeleine McCann: Child Alert, Daily Mail Knows And Fay Weldon
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY MIRROR: “McCanns win child alert fight MADELEINE”
Kate and Gerry McCann yesterday won their fight for an EU-wide missing child alert system, in tribute to their daughter Madeleine. A declaration supporting the couple’s plea attracted backing from at least 398 MEPs - more than half the 785 European Parliament members.
Or as the Mail said earlier in the week: DAILY MAIL: “Brussels throws out McCann’s appeal for European missing child alert system”
THE INDEPENDENT: “Cultural Life: Fay Weldon, Author”
Film
I went to see Ben Affleck’s Gone Baby Gone for Radio 3’s Saturday Review. “Emotionally disturbing” it claimed to be, with its echoes of the Madeleine McCann case, and so it was, and a welcome change from the dull, written-to-formula films that pour from major studios. If profit rather than enthusiasm is the bottom line, all you get is variations on what made a profit last year.
On it goes…

you can also watch the most recent episode via the BBC’s iPlayer service, and see more clips on our YouTube channel, and on the BBC’s.
The show is hosted by brilliant stand-up comedian Dara O’Briain and features regular panellists: multi-talented actor-comedian Hugh Dennis, acerbic Scottish stand-up Frankie Boyle, lightning-fast Russell Howard, and one of Britain’s most insightful and cutting comedians, Andy Parsons.

she’s saying it wasn’t as boring as watching rocky 2 3 4 and 5.

Nosey,
I am concerned to see that no-one is taking your dousing seriously; if you are not careful you will be running across the moors in a nighty singing about Heathcliffe coming or possibly going home…
Have a hot bath, or, possibly more importantly, have a nice, warming drink.
I’d offer you a Glenlivet but some swine half-inched yet another bottle last night…

Have a lovely day, y’all

Nosey, she is saying that films are usually just variations of each other. Tried and tested formulas churned out on a conveyor belt. Gone baby gone is different though. It is unique
July 11th, 2008 at 4:38 pm
Well that should keep any lurking M&A & Clive types happy for a while…
