Well I was at the screening with Martin (from the Forks) who at first was not going to shout anything, but then (of course) got stuck in and didn't stop for the whole film. It was fun to be able to sit beside him and giggle along for once, and everyone within a certain radius could hear him. Unfortunately we were in the stalls, *just* under the balcony, so a lot of folk above us didn't hear him, but quite a few people came over to see who was shouting and say hello. Still, even though he has a hell of a pair of lungs, he couldn't reach every corner of that vast theatre.
Other than Martin I heard very very little (oh and Laura and Ceri who were 10 rows or so behind us did a bit!!). The other thing I didn't really notice was much singing along! - from where we were in the stalls it was kind of hard to see the subtitles, so maybe that discouraged the "virgins" from singing along if they didn't already know the words!...
Watch this space for my photos which I promise will appear soon....
