So, to Now magazine and Fox, I'm sending you a warning: next time it's The List. Is that what you want? Because that's what'll happen.
The film was OK.
British comedy at it's bestI watched this DVD at the weekend and my girlfriend spotted the rogue apostrophe on the cover (I was a little hungover or else I would have spotted it myself). I don't know whether to blame Now magazine for writing it or Fox entertainment for including it on the packaging of their DVD. Either way this was approved (assuming one editor at each company) by at least 4 people who write for a living.
