Love Actually
Love Actually is a 2003 romantic comedy film written and directed by Richard Curtis. The Christmas film features an ensemble cast, composed predominantly of British actors, many of whom had worked with Curtis in previous projects. An international co-production of the United Kingdom, United States, and France, it was mostly filmed on-location in London. The film delves into different aspects of love as shown through 10 separate stories involving a variety of individuals, many of whom are interlinked as the plot progresses. The story begins five weeks before Christmas and is played out in a weekly countdown until the holiday, followed by an epilogue that takes place in the New Year. The film was released in the US on 14 November 2003 and a week later in the UK during its theatrical run. Love Actually was a box-office success, grossing $245 million worldwide on a budget of $40 million. The film received mixed reviews and a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. A made-for-television short film sequel, Red Nose Day Actually, aired in two different versions on BBC One and NBC in 2017.

Bye bye baby, baby goodbye Goodbye baby, baby bye bye Bye bye baby, don't make me cry Goodbye baby, baby bye bye Wish I never had known you... Do you love him? Er, er, what? No, I-I just thought I'd ask bluntly... in case it was the right question... and you needed someone to talk to about it... and no one had ever asked you. No. No. No is the answer. Absolutely not. ...on my finger... So that's a no, then? Yes. Erm... Bye bye baby, baby goodbye Goodbye baby, baby bye bye... This DJ, what do you reckon? The worst in history? - Probably. I think it all hangs on the next song. Now here's one for the lovers. That's quite a few of you, I shouldn't be surprised and a half.

Harry? - Sarah, switch off your phone and tell me exactly... how long it is that you've been working here. Two years, seven months, three days and, I suppose, what, two hours? And how long have you been in love... with Karl, our enigmatic chief designer? Um... Two years, seven months, three days... and, I suppose, an hour and 30 minutes. Thought as much. Do you think everybody knows? Yes. Do you think Karl knows? - Yes. Oh, that is... that is bad news. I just thought that maybe the time... had come to do something about it. Like what? - Invite him out for a drink... then casually mention you'd like to marry... him and have lots of sex and babies. You know that? - Yes. And so does Karl. Think about it, for all our sakes. It's Christmas. Certainly. Excellent. Will do. Thanks, boss.

What is that? That was the Christmas effort... from the once great Billy Mack. Oh, dear me, how are the mighty fallen. I can safely say that is the worst record I've heard this century... Oh, and coincidentally, I believe Billy will be a guest... on my friend Mike's show in a few minutes' time. Welcome back, Bill. Billy, welcome back to the airwaves. New Christmas single, cover of Love Is All Around. Except we've changed... the word 'love' to 'Christmas'. Yes, is that an important message... to you, Bill? Not really, Mike. Christmas is a time for people... with someone they love in their lives. And that's not you? - That's not me, Michael. When I was young and successful, I was greedy and foolish... and now I'm left with no one, wrinkled and alone. Wow. Thanks for that, Bill. - For what? For actually giving a real answer to a question. It doesn't often happen here... at Radio Watford, I can tell you. Ask me anything, I'll tell you the truth. Best shag you ever had? Britney Spears. - Wow. No, only kidding... She was rubbish. - OK, here's one. How do you think the new record... compares to your old, classic stuff? Come on, Mikey, you know as well as I do... the record's crap. But wouldn't it be great... if number one this Christmas... wasn't some smug teenager... but an old ex-heroin addict... searching for a comeback at any price? Those young popsters come Christmas... will be stretched out naked... with a cute bird balancing on their balls... and I'll be stuck in some dingy flat... with me manager Joe, ugliest man in the world, fucking miserable because... our fucking gamble didn't pay off. So if you believe in Father Christmas, children, like your Uncle Billy does, buy my festering turd of a record. And particularly enjoy the incredible crassness... of the moment we try to squeeze... an extra syllable into the fourth line. I think you're referring to... 'If you really love Christmas... ' 'Come on and let it snow. ' Ouch. So, here it is one more time, the dark horse for this year's Christmas number one, Christmas Is All Around. Thank you, Billy. After this, the news. Is the new prime minister in trouble already? I feel it in my fingers I feel it in my toes...

OK. What's next? - The President's visit. Ah, yes, yes. I fear this is going to be... a difficult one to play. Alex. There's a strong feeling in the party... we mustn't allow ourselves to be bullied... like the last government. - Here, here. This is our first really important test, let's take a stand. Right. Right. I understand that... but I have decided... not to. Not this time. Let's not forget that America... is the most powerful country in the world. I'm not going to act like a petulant child.

So what do you reckon to our new prime minister? Oh, I like him. I can't understand... why he's not married, though. You know the type, he's married to his job. Either that or gay as a picnic basket. Excuse me, Judy, if you could... just lower the nipples... and cheat them a bit to the left? OK.

Exciting news. - What? I've bought a ticket to the States. I'm off in three weeks. No. - Yes. To a fantastic place called Wisconsin. No. Yes. Wisconsin babes, here comes Sir Colin. No, Col. There are a few babes in America, I grant you, but they're going out with rich, attractive guys. Tone, you're just jealous. You know perfectly well... that any bar anywhere in America... contains ten girls more beautiful... and more likely to have sex with me... than the whole of the United Kingdom. That is total bollocks. You're mad. No, I'm wise. Stateside I am Prince William... without the weird family. No, Colin, no. - Yes. Nyet. - Da. Nein. - Ja, darling. Right, the Christmas party, not my favourite night of the year... and your unhappy job to organise. Tell me. - It's basic, really. Find a venue, over-order on the drinks, bulk buy the guacamole... and advise the girls to avoid Kevin... if they want their breasts unfondled. Wives and family and stuff? - Yeah. I mean, not children. But their wives and girlfriends, et cetera. Oh, Christ, you haven't got some horrible... six-foot, tight-T - shirt-wearing... boyfriend? No. I'll just be hanging around the mistletoe, hoping to be kissed. Really? Right.
