This episode we invite you to dip into the Valentines chocolate box of romantic delights that is Notting Hill (Roger Michell, 1999), full of soft centres, fingers of fudge and, if you fancy something hard, there are plenty of nutty nuggets to wrap your lips around... It's a date!
William Thacker (played by Hugh Grant) is a bookseller at a shop in the Notting Hill district of West London. When world famous super star actress Anna Scott (played Julia Roberts) walks in to his shop, an unlikely relationship starts to take shape. But Anna’s notoriety, fame and actor boyfriend lead William to question: can the most famous film star in the world really fall for just an ordinary guy?
Who needs a bunch of red roses when you have two wise weeds in Diggory and Oscar, who as ever and always endeavour to the heart of whether we have been taking Hugh for granted.
