    Tracey Ullman and Paul were both in the movie Give my Regards to Broad Street. I remember it being my favourite movie of the year back when I went to see a movie every Friday night. But apparently I hadn't heard that according to the critics it's no good. Also despite being a perfectly acceptable movie, whatever the critics said, it seems to have evaporated without a trace.
