we interrupt this programme

[jazzfish]

For the last couple days I've had in my head the voice of an elderly man, who speaks with the slightest of accents, saying, "Well. So far, so. . . far."

I'm almost dead certain this is from some movie fairy-tale but I have no idea, and it's driving me insane.

Help?

I totally know that. I can't remember what it's from, though.

And I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets random TV/movie voice bits stuck in her head like that.

grr argh I've almost got it. *tears hair* It's. . . it's. . . oh.

I think it's from the radio play of Anansi Boys. At least, the way the vowels slope in the voice I hear in my head is the same as the way Lenny Henry draws out "Fat Charlie."

This happens all the time. Usually I can remember well enough what it is my brain's making pop-culture references to.

Buzz Lightyear?

The voice is softer around the edges. Lighter. And I'm pretty sure it's the start of a voice-over between scenes.

Hmm, Got me then.
