According to my calculations the cliff must be around 98 miles high, but I'm sure there's a perfectly good explanation for that.

India's high up innit.

Bear in mind that Indian cinema has rarely gone for the Stanislavsky approach to realistic portrayal of 'reality'.

I thoroughly recommend the masterpiece that is 'Lagaan' - a film about a cricket match.....

So reminiscent of my time as a member of Chorley Women's Cricket Team, but not quite as colourful.

What? If you win a cricket match in Chorley you get off taxes for three years and don't starve...?

Fake film? You think they are using digital cameras?

Don't know what all the fuss is about... Pubs were closing in ten minutes - how else was he supposed to make it down in time for last orders?

Yeah - and I would definitely have gone for brown Levis not blue if I was going to attempt that!

Just goes to show how lame Vertical Limit and Cliffhanger really were.

Not good enough to slow him down much. His self-arrest effort had much the same effect as some I've attempted.

I thought he was going to bust out a sequence of fig-fours after the hanging bit halfway down
