Nice legs shame about the boat race…

Look North arrived to film a piece about Sully. Myself and Martin offered ourselves for interview but, sadly, we were not deemed aesthetically pleasing enough for the BBC. Good looking cast member Fidel (pictured) had… 

Pritti vacant…

Technical stuff happening down the theatre, lighting being plotted and sound and image cues being punched in. Sat near the back of the auditorium for a while, watching all this taking place around me and… 

Back to rehearsals…

Back to rehearsals. A few more cuts and nips and tucks. We listened to some tunes dropped in by Johnny Pat of Johnny Pat and the Aces fame – Hull’s 1960s attempt to bag a…

To the theatre for Godber’s bus travel joint Men of the World. A nice steady comedy, maybe more designed for an older audience than hellraisers like M and myself, although we did go on a… 

Re-drafting Sully…

Up late re-drafting script. I have absolutely no recollection, just a few hours later, of what I have actually written. And in a few short moments I am off to a meeting to discuss it…
