BDFR - Nightcrawler & Twirlywoos

A convincing accent can be a powerful tool in an actors arsenal; on the other hand a terrible one can make headlines for all the wrong reasons. Join us this week as we discuss  the Top 5 Memorable Movie Accents - maybe they are awful, maybe they are amazing or perhaps they are just so distinctive it's hard to imagine a role without them.  You'll also get the benefit of some truly awful impressions as we do our best to imitate our choices.

This weeks main feature is Dan Gillroy's 2014 thriller, Nightcrawler. Jake Gyllenhaal provides a star turn in this dark and seedy urban noir about an opportunistic freelance cameraman capturing graphic imagery for prime time Los Angeles television. 

Not quite so dark but possibly more seedy is the kids feature this week, the perennial CBeebies favourite The Twirlywoos. These gentle creatures warm the dads hearts, with one dad in particular reminiscing fondly. The episode we've chosen includes UK comedian Jason Manford, which is nice. But are Toodloo, Great Big Hoo, Chickedy and Chick harbouring a dark secret on the Big Red Boat - the enslavement of Peekaboo?

Until next time, we remain..
