Dave So, what are you doing this weekend, Ella?
Ella It’s my son Tom’s (1)______________ birthday on Saturday, so his grandparents, my sister
and brother-in-law, and my niece are coming over for coffee and cake. Then we’re going out for
dinner in the evening.
Dave Are you all going?
Ella No, dinner is just with Tom’s brother Joe, his (2)______________, and me.
Dave And where are you going?
Ella Do you know that new place, Giorgio’s, in the (3)______________ of town?
Dave Wow. That’s pretty expensive, isn’t it?
Ella Well, actually it’s OK and the food is (4)______________. I really like it because it’s so
(5)______________ and informal, but it feels special and the staff is really friendly.
Dave Sounds perfect. What are you going to give Tom for his birthday?
Ella I’ve bought him a camera. And as it’s a special birthday, I’m going to use my video camera
to make a little film of his life. I’ve asked some of the extended family to tell a few stories about
Tom when he was little. His friends are going to record special (6)______________, too.
Dave What a great idea!
Ella My family is very (7)______________, so I hope he won’t find it too (8)______________!
Dave Oh, I’m sure he’ll be really pleased. Is he going to see his dad, too?
Ella Yes, Paul is taking him to a (9)______________ game in Chicago on Sunday afternoon. They
get along much better now that Tom is older. Oh, and Tom’s having a party with his friends on
Friday night!
Dave A party? That’s generous of you! How many people are coming?
Ella Well, luckily, his friend Lucy is going to be 18 this weekend too, so they’re having a party
together at her house! And, actually, they’re both pretty (10)______________, so I think it’ll be

Presenter Tonight we’re talking about the film recently voted the most popular movie of all
time. It was made back in the 1950s, in (1)______________ to be precise. So, what’s the
film and why is it so popular today? Well it’s a classic (2)______________ directed by Alfred
Hitchcock, and it is of course, Vertigo. The film stars James Stewart as “Scottie,” an ex-
detective, who has been forced to (3)______________ because of health problems
(including vertigo). In the movie, he’s hired as a private detective to follow a
(4)______________, played by Kim Novak, who’s been behaving strangely. The thriller,
based on a novel written by a French (5)______________ writer, is set in San Francisco and
is beautifully filmed partly on location, as the hero follows the woman through the streets of
the city. The plot of Vertigo was described by Hitchcock as “boy meets girl, boy loses girl,
boy meets girl again, boy loses girl again,” but in fact it’s a very (6)______________ film
which needs to be watched several times to be fully understood. If you haven’t seen it, I
don’t want to tell you too much about what happens, but let’s just say there’s some
(7)______________ and there are a couple of murders. One of the most famous scenes
takes place on top of a church tower. The film is shot using a special camera effect (now
known as the “Vertigo effect”) which creates a confusion between fantasy and
(8)______________, and which reflects Scottie’s mental state. The powerful soundtrack,
written by Bernard Herrman, also adds to the strange (9)______________. Although it
received some (10)______________ reviews when it was first released, the film has since
become more popular among critics than perhaps any other of Hitchcock’s films. Like many
thousands of people who chose this as their favorite film, I believe that Hitchcock has never
been beaten as the greatest creator of suspense and mystery.
