Wow. Its about time there was a place to discuss Tom Hollander and his amazing career. He is such an amazingly talented actor and he just doesn't seem to get the credit he deserves. There are so few websites devoted to his talent. Spreading the Love (and of course respect! )

Hi! I just happened to click because I have not checked lately. Welcome aboard! You are right...we DO need to get this going. I have a bunch of ideas for topics so I will just put them out there for brainstorming:
Introducing... A Place for new members to get to know each other and tell how they got interested in Tom's work
Paint Me a Story What would you like to hear Tom read?
Center Stage Live Theatre Discussion
Angel Wings Tom's Humanitarian Contributions
Close Encounters Have you met Tom?
That's a Wrap! Film Appearances
Have You Heard? Audiobook Recommendations
So...what do you think?

Welcome priorknowledge... I like your name. We all start out naked. Giggle. Get "dressed" at your own pace...no pressure.
Here's a question for everyone: So far I KNOW who everyone is here. Do we want to keep it so we do not divulge our "real" names?
I think it will be fun here...I have a good feeling about it.

On the name thing, I think that should be up to the individual. If they introduce themselves with their real name, than it's fair game to use it, right? Maybe some will want to stay anon though (myself included!) because a board can be read by anyone.
I love your ideas for the separate topics. How about we add a topic for news and one for media/articles (or one for both). I have those on my Rufus board and they're super useful!
Oh and would That's a Wrap include his tv work?

Good idea on the names. What if instead of That's a Wrap! We had Big Screen (for films) and Small Screen (for TV)? Good idea for News too...think of a catchy title... Is "Extra, extra..read all about it.." too hokey?

"The News Room"?
I think the new colour scheme is a bit hard to see, especially the black letters on the dark blue background.

Not too worry...we are still working on it. It got too late. Hang in there. We were experimenting and didn't get everything fixed yet.

Welcome Angelina! Yes...apparently little LB is only available in other countries as I went to the Zizzle site and he doesn't even exist here. We bid on one in the UK but lost.

OK - I can have a scoot around somewhere like Forbidden Planet if you think it was a UK thing. ooow - there are three going on ebay right now if you want to grab them. I think I can live without him ;D....oh and someone is selling a set of 8 characters which is currently at £ 20 There are a couple of things in the Ebay shops but I think they might be the same card. See if this link works.

Hi All, I'm your BoardHostess's research minion, fact-checker, web-wrangler, pal and all-around Hollander-enabler. I'm doing the structural stuff for the Board right now, so thanks for all the great suggestions for categories! Let me what you want this place to be.
I'm going to vote that we need a place for really wonderful articles, reviews and interviews. And since I know how to twiddle the Board knobs, I think I'll do that one first!
Welcome, everyone!

I love the new forums! Also, proboards also offers a chat room. The board admin can set one up via the 'admin' function. Maybe that would be a fun idea?

See if this link works. That link is to a game card. I would be thrilled if you can find a little LB for me. Do not go crazy though...only if it is convenient. We are watching one of the eBay ones. I can't believe how one of the main (and best) villains of pirates is totally overlooked in so many situations! Ludicrous.
