Haha, whilst watching this, managed to get 2 out of 3 things right on Chris's part in it all! Soon as mention of Reconnected UK came on screen, I thought this must be the business Chris's Patrick Conlan would be associated with...and it was! And then when Pete Norris's part of the storyline...

There's a four-star review of The Bench over at Whatsonstage.com Manchester. And it concludes..."The Bench is yet another excellent example of high quality fringe theatre which Manchester is currently enjoying and it thoroughly deserves its excellent reputation." Haven't been able to get to...

The films that were buried alive (The Guardian) A real shame that so many films will either NEVER (cos they've been destroyed) or likely never see the light of day. Ironic really that, regardless of how much help it may or may not trigger for the 'lost' films out there, this article actually...

O'Byrne intent on setting a benchmark (Metro) The above, though not 100% accurate, is still a worthwhile read, with some good quotes from Joe. PS: And all the best from me, to the whole of The Bench team, on a successful staging at The Lowry over the coming two nights.

Aw, but I like his avatar pic. He's got a very actorly look to him there. ...Oh, and he also reminds me a bit of Branwell Bronte! :)C

Yeah, Dave, top spot there. That's brilliant. No probs spotting Birty Blue either. The resemblance is just too...just so...it SO is him; it's Birty Blue! Though, of course, it obviously isn't him... That's blooming spooky...

The Bench is going to be staged at The Lowry on 22/23 August (8pm). HERE is Joe's myspace blog entry on it. ETA: The Bench has now been added to The Lowry's theatre listings. HERE is its listings page. There's nothing there on the ticket cost, btw, but the box office (0161 8762000) has told...

I had actually originally put it down like that...but then thought...probably...... ps: Wondering if it's maybe a combination of the venue lighting and what Cop's enhanced onto the shots afterwards. Or not. Maybe Cop would care to explain... ;-)

Cheers, guys. (Lol, wiggy, you really do look SO like that middle guy!) I just like the way the slightly purpley/mauve lighting has come out in those pics! See, I've perfected my photography jargon and everything...Hmmm, fudge....

Cheers, Mike. Looks like a nice piece of kit you've got there. And presume that second of your three pics is also a behind-the-scenes grab...so Chris on the phone and not Layton on the phone! :)C Cop...Have your pics got anything to do with BS or are they test shots from something else...

Over on YouTube, just happened across THIS cameo of Joe's from 2006 (clip uploaded today). It's from an episode of Hollyoaks, where he played a Trading Standards officer called Andrew Gardner (sp?). You see him very briefly from 45 seconds in, and then for a full scene from 5 minutes and 10...

You're not wrong there, Mike. :luv&worship: ;-) Chris as Captain Kirk, eh? Who'd of thunk it.... (There's the Chris 'head' from Alison's poster, the one from above...Just how many more 'spare' ones does Chris Finch possess?... :eek: :)C )

Found out that Joe was on BBC Radio Manchester's Becky Want show yesterday, doing a bit of promo for the play. His interview with Becky can still be heard all week on 'listen again' (Joe can be heard from around 21 minutes in).

Just to wish The Bench cast and creatives a successful opening night at DST tonight.

Interview with Chris 'Pine'....??

In THIS recent article from The Bolton News, Bolton Octagon's artistic director, Mark Babych (also ADTF's director), looks back on its 40th anniversary season and what some of his personal highlights are from it. On ADTF, he says.... I shall never forget the sheer wave of love in the audience...

For those who might be interested, just to say that Corrie is one of the featured shows in tonight's first edition of a new 10-part ITV3 series called Drama Trails (9pm). And according to Corrie Blog, more Corrie actors will feature in future episodes.

Well, it's no more than it deserves. Very encouraging stuff indeed.

In terms of novelty songs, you can't beat a bit of Bernard Cribbins (Hole In The Ground, Right Said Fred....). And not forgetting The Wurzels...I got 20 acres and you got 43...
