    Eddie is a genius. Difficult to express how much his comic talent has meant to me through my life and been with me through bad times and good. Dress to kill is my all time favourite show by him!

    In less than 2 years 4 of my animals died of old age. I brought out my copy of Dress To Kill each time. Bringing me laughter I other wise would not have had. Thank you Mr. Izzard.

      I lost my father in February. I remember when I was probably 12 or 13, we watched the premier on TV, and we both laughed and laughed for the entire time. I love going back and watching this and laughing, reminds me of when I was a kid with my dad.

      Oh god I'm so sorry. Losing your animal family is gut wrenching, but to lose so many so close together, that's brutal. I have four around the same age and par to me dreads the same thing. My heart goes out to you, I feel like it's so much harder to reconcile the grief for my animal family than my human family, mostly.

    There WAS a Woodhenge, but it's "gone" now. In fact there were TWO within 2 miles of Stonehenge. They date from around 2200 BCE, and probably lasted less than 500 years. The site of the first was discovered in 1925. The second site was discovered over 40 years later, less than 100 yards away, in 1966. That one was less obvious because it was an example of the more fragile Stramineizzardus Circulae, commonly known as a "strawhenge".
    But don't listen to me. It's Professor Izzard's class.
