I see that this short film was classified by the BBFC a couple of days ago, due to be released in September. It was made in 1902, 10 years before the BBFC was created. The colour is added as is the soundtrack (there are other soundtracks for the film).
U certificate for fantasy violence.

It's not remotely realistic
George Melies directed, produced, edited and wrote the script vaguely based on Jules Verne's From the Earth to the Moon and H G Wells's "The First Men in the Moon". He was also Professor Barbenfoullis, the lead astronomer, and also the Moon

fantastic EL

Good morning everyone it's a little cloudy this morning but I'm sure we'll get some sunshine later.

Enjoy your day everyone

Morning squiggs  

I think I've got Imnsomnia. A film in French I think and English.

One day to go Yogi    

Stay safe with your phone calls El     

Might be play offs today Moons. Hard one to call - both attack but I fancy Brentford. Probably totally wrong.

Take Moonies advice and stay safe troops. It's pretty simple.

Good morning everyone

Sunny here.

Squiggle, you are correct about Greer Garson - Richard Ney was about 11 years younger.

Thanks Velvet re phone calls

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone  

A sunny but cool start to the day here. The temperature is set to reach the high 20’s by the end of the week 

Velvet the playoff is tomorrow and I fancy Brentford to win too 

Have a grey day everyone but stay safe 

Thanks EL but that was Yogi and not me, she's far more knowledgeable.

Yogi I have total respect for. I know she's underplaying it but she is smart. I've seen it. Cool dude Mrs Y - could probably annihilate me because it would be personal. Any friend of Baz is a friend of mine.

Mrs Y   

She's a killa.

Evening all 

We had a visit from eldest son and BB today. Son was helping hubby make a new frame for my raised bed - to put netting over to keep out the cats and birds. Before he left, BB gave us a list of things he wants to do tomorrow.
I hope you’ve all had a good day

You sound like the tiddlers.
No matter what time they come, or if they have just eaten, their first words are, “Granny, I’m hungry”

Good morning everyone it's a little overcast this morning but I know there's some rain forecast for midweek so perhaps it's early. 

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

A cloudier day here than yesterday though no rain forecast.

Yogi, I hope you have a freat time with the tiddlers

I hope everyone has a good day

There's an area of Cheltenham known as Fiddler's Green (near the GCHQ).

In maritime folklore, Fiddler's Green was an afterlife for sailors who had served at least 50 years at sea  where there was a fiddle which never stopped, dancers who never tired and constant mirth. Unlikely to be why the Cheltenham area would be so called. More likely that someone called Fiddler used to own some fields there.

Good morning everyone  

Overcast start to the day here. No rain forecast 

We shall see 

Not much on today 

Yogi, I hope you and the little ones have a lovely time together 

Enjoy your day everyone 

El, perhaps fiddler refers to petty theft 

May be of interest to Ros. "Messe des pêcheurs de Villerville" (1881) was a collaboration between Gabriel Fauré and his former pupil André Messager. Composed before the Requiem and  a lesser work. The mass is in 5 sections:

1. Kyrie (Messager)
2. Gloria (Fauré)
3. Sanctus (Fauré)
4. O Salutaris (Messager)
5. Agnus Dei (Fauré)

The Agnus Dei (14.45) is possibly the most interesting as having touches of the Requiem.

Just joking of course

That's possible though it's more likely to be named after someone who plated the violin for a living.
