Today I've remembered something which has been niggling me for days - it was "Mr Axelford's Angel" with Julia Foster and John Bryant (it was a television play, on about 10 years ago). I have no idea why that's been niggling me I thought of asking on here a couple of days ago but it seemed too obscure to describe...

Has anyone else got something on the tip of their tongue that they can't quite put their finger on - if so, post here and see if anyone recognises it

I seem to spend half my life wondering what the name of that actor was: You know, the one who was in that film with whats-her-name off that television progamme with thingumy and that other actor, the one with the head? Name begins with a T. Or a B. Or was it a J?

You get the idea.

It often comes to me a day or two later when I'm not thinking about it, and it turns out to be an M.

It was a bit more than 10 years ago - according to the IMDB it was screened in 1974! I remember I loved it, although of course I was VERY young at the time...

Yes, my Master's degree project which I'm currently writing up.... all on the tip of my tongue and not on paper!!!

So either you're licking the paper or trying to write on your tongue - is your tongue big enough, or is it a very short project?........






(Sorry - couldn't resist - my mind works in funny ways when I'm tired...... )

I think the original was then, but it was repeated about 10 years or so ago as well (accordingly to Google it was re-shown on Channel 4 for Valentine's Day) Although it may have been 15, the sources don't agree!



My favourite reply if someone asks me if I've written something yet is that I've got all the words, I just need to put them in the right order

A couple of tiny ulcers from where I burnt the tip of my tongue on a hot cup of tea!

(and, yes, I know this wasn't what you were asking for) but it does answer the thread title!
