A friend of mine just sent me this - the Cat Concerto - my favourite Tom and Jerry cartoon (of those I can remember, anyway) so I thought I'd share it with you.
Which in turn reminded me of that great episode of Black Books where Bernard "plays" the piano to impress a girl... I can't embed the clip but you can watch it here.

Thank you Marie! Two gems.
Who is the actress playing the girl Bernard wants to impress? She looks familiar but I can't place her.
I love the Cat Concerto (also I love Who Killed the Wabbit? in Bugs Bunny). Missed that episode of Black Books - hilarious!
Oh! Last night I decided to break out my Black Books DVDs and I picked this episode to watch. It's like one mind, I tell you :-)

Yes that's the one - but the bit I like best is when Elmer Fudd does the Siegfried/Brunhilde scene and sings (rather touchingly I always think), I killed the wabbit, I killed the wabbit.... sublime genius!
I prefer "The Rabbit of Seville", myself.
What disturbs me about Nina Conti's monkey act is that the monkey sounds exactly like her dad, Tom Conti...
Ha, brilliant Persephone, not sure if I'd seen that before. What a great thread you've started Marie. Any other gems out there?
