The L Word star Jennifer Beals finds the opposition against gay marriage in America "absolutely absurd" especially in the face of December's tsunami disaster.

Guest stars including Robbie Coltrane, Richard E Grant, Laura Linney, Anthony Lapaglia, Jason Biggs and Jennifer Beals were among those taking part in the final episode of long-running comedy series Frasier, which has finished filming in Los Angeles.

HUGS, champagne toasts and snippets of poetry marked the filming of the last episode of NBC’s Frasier after a remarkable 11-year run.

Not all films need to be noisy and overblown blockbusters, not when they come as well written, directed and performed as this indie charmer.
