The Bishop's Wife (1947 Henry Koster)

Q was feeling Christmassy. She was wondering whether any Archie Leach was showing through Cary Grant's performance (I think). He's very good, and Niven's scenes of confusion are endearing.

Editor Monica Collingwood went on to edit over 100 episodes of the Lassie TV series, from which we deduced she must have loved dogs.

Q identified Gladys Cooper from Now Voyager. She was also in Separate Tables, Mr Lucky, Forever and a Day, Rebecca. Final appearance was in an episode of The Persuaders!

My favourite bit remains the harp that plays itself.

"We're all on our own little planets. We're all different. That's what makes us so interesting."

I managed to convince her that she'd enjoy Wings Of Desire.
