    Just to note Channel 4 do show adverts amongst their streaming, so don't worry if you think it has gone wrong!

    With older movies, I do wonder why some names fall in and out of fashion.

    I still find it funny that people used to just turn up married to family gatherings :D

    Wouldn't it be nice to be able to afford a nice house on $20000 a year :D

    It would and when they say £20 will see me through as in to cover bills!

    Poor George! I loved the glamorous Donna Reed trying to look like an 'old maid'

    Donna Reed was still glamorous when she was in Dallas <3

    I still wonder why we don't get as many people named Clarence.

    Did you know Cary Grant was supposed to play George Bailey?

    I've finished my end <3 you'll have to let me know what you think of the ending @Rosie_Scope

    Finished too, it's a nice ending <3 I've definitely seen clips of it before. "Each time a bell rings an angel get's his wings!"

    Maybe Clarence will come back around as a popular name one day!

    Did you enjoy it? That bit always makes me tear a little! 

    Hmmm maybe! It makes you wonder why the names become unpopular when the film is so popular. If that makes any sense :D

    I did, it's a good one and a great message about the little impacts we all make on other people's lives that we might not realise are important :)
