did she make millions from antiques or was it exaggerated?

Her family business is peddling Fake Diplomas and themselves as being honest hardworking pillars of society. Her old man served prison time for trying to defraud an insurance company by setting fire to his Fancy Dress shop.

They make a lot of money by selling Fake diplomas but nowt from antiques.

but he was some kind of tv antiques expert as a boy?

It has been exposed as a clever act set up by his father.

well james as he was certainly pulled it off convincingly....he was the eccentric antique kid and millions tuned in....sadly he was bullied the hell out of at school by scumbags

This is really long but definitely worth watching, although most will still say "But I love her, she's SOOOOO entertaining" so are snakes when they are behind glass.

Just spent 40 min watching the vid(posted it here) and the college they gained their qualifications from was Tudor College...their house!!!:joker:
It had made me look at Lauren very differently. I was not a fan of hers but I really started to warm to her....not anymore.

You know Erinp,...Lauren reminds me of 'Frankenstein's Monster'!...I remember going to the pictures to watch it when I was young...[Boris Karloff was fantastic]...but even then, when I was so young...I could understand that 'The Monster' was created!...and even though it killed that poor little girl [and loads of insignificant local-peasants]...it really wasn't his fault!...and that Baron Victor Von Frankenstein that was to blame, and in fact..the real Monster!...and Boris' character was indeed a victim himself!

...Lauren wasn't born a con-merchant...she was created!

...can't you see the comparison?...or the masked vulnerability ?....well I can!...the girl's fragility is blinding me, and I wish her nothing but good things from this show! :thumbs:

Lex, the "Monster" didn't kill the little girl nor the blind man!!! :joker:

Get out of it you swine...my memory's not that bad! :joker:...It was Boris that threw her into the pond after the flower petals...and she drowned!....erm?...didn't he?....erm?...i'm going shopping now Fingers...?..i'll think about it?...sure i'm right though! :hugesmile:

My mistake, Lex! He did throw her in the lake, thinking she'd float!!

"Henry leaves to prepare for his wedding while Dr. Waldman conducts an examination of the unconscious creature. As he is preparing to begin dissecting it, the creature awakens and strangles him. It escapes from the tower and wanders through the landscape. It then has a short encounter with a farmer's young daughter, Maria (Marilyn Harris), who asks him to play a game with her in which they playfully toss flowers into a lake and watch them float. The monster enjoys the game, but when they run out of flowers, tragedy occurs. Due to his defective brain, the monster thinks Maria (unable to swim) will float as well as the flowers, so he picks her up and throws her into the lake, and the girl drowns. Realizing he has made a terrible mistake, the monster walks away feeling troubled and remorseful. This drowning scene is one of the most controversial in the film, with a long history of censorship."

Maybe I saw a censored version, I know it was "X" rated or was it "H" and we weren't supposed to get in!

What in the film word is 'H' rated?

It was a long time ago, denoted Horror!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History...m_certificates

H was used from 1932 'til 1951.

Definitely would have been a 'H' when I first saw it at the 'Bugs Hut' [the star] up Sheffield rd Fingers...that was back in the late thirties though , when the staff used to turn a blind eye to 'quiet kids' being smuggled into the theatres by their older brothers. ...even if their intentions were only to scare the crap out of us little swines! :hugesmile:

...It's funny though, as I remember...I wasn't all that scared of Frankenstein [brilliant film though...and Elsa Lanchester scared the hell out of me in the sequel! :hugesmile:]...but it was Bela Lugosi that really gave me nightmares in Dracula! ...and even more scary to 'this' little lad, was...Dwight Frye's 'Renfield'. :o [still sends a shiver down my spine when I see it! lol.]

...sorry if i'm waffling on buddy...but...God I love a good movie! :thumbs:
