Hi all...I know I always say this, but I really should come here more often. At my Multimedia Links - TV/Videos list , there are a number of new entries, including the missing first interview with Colin Bates on CBBC (pictured) and even some TV alerts this week surrounding the one-year anniversary, including: PAUL O'GRADY (Tuesday at 5:00 pm on Channel 4) with Elton John to discuss the success of BETM GMTV (Thursday at 6:58 am on ITV1) with Liam Mower To see the latest version of the list, pl...

Independent Online: An audience with the Billy Elliot boys http://enjoyment.independent.co.uk/theatre/features/article342720.ece Great article, with topics that include the reason Liam Mower left the Royal Ballet School, being homsick, leaving the show and how Sharon Osbourne and Liz Hurley let the boys squeeze their breasts at Elton John's wedding.

For those that saw Billy Elliot, you have less than 24 hours to vote in the Whatsonstage.com Theatregoers Choice Awards that ends Tuesday at midnight GMT. You can help assure a victory for Billy Elliot in several categories: http://www.whatsonstage.com/dl/page.php?page=awardsreal&yr=2006 For fast voting, hit CTRL-F (Elliot) Best Actress in a Musical Haydn Gwynne - Mrs. Wilkinson Best Actor in a Musical George Maguire, James Lomas & Liam Mower - Billy Best Supporting Actress in a Musical Ann E...

Lois, You can phone the box office, and they can tell you who is scheduled for the upcoming week, but they can't guarantee. 0870 895 5577 From what I hear, Liam performs more often than the other Billys at the Thursday matinees (that's when I saw him). As well, you can join Tzwicky, Jeff, myself and a bunch of others on the evening of June 3 since that is rumoured to be Liam's final performance. Here is the seating chart: http://www.abarmstrong.com/billy/june3_730.htm (I'm in C24 and my jumbo...

Hey tzwicky, Canada only voted in the Tories on a "temporary" basis. They got 39% of the vote (61% of the country voted for left-leaning parties), and that was only to punish a government that had become complacent (and a little corrupt) after being in power for almost 13 years. In Canada we have a saying: "We elect the Tories every 20 years to remind us why we have a Liberal government the rest of the time". The election was only a few days ago, but even now, people are predicting that when ...

Jeff wrote: Wow AccordCanada, you're so dedicated. There must be something else to do in Canada! Jeff...that's what my Canadian friends say too. I suppose there is a fine line between hobby and obsesssion, but the clips are important for me precisely becuase I live so far away and can't regularly see the show. Accy _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/

Since last Monday, there have been no less than 6 TV appearances on BBC featuring all 5 of the original Billys (Liam Mover x2, George Maguire, James Lomas, Leon Cooke and Travis Yates), many focussing on Wednesday's nominations for Britain's Laurence Olivier Awards. Through the dedication and talent of a number of people, I have managed to compile all 6, which was no easy feat since some of the news stories were only shown in certain regions of the country and I myself live in a different hem...

For those that missed it, I have a (password-only) link to George Maguire being interviewed about the Olivier Awards on BBC BREAKFAST this morning. http://billyelliotthemusical.me.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=58 With today's nominations and the fact they showed an actual scene with Liam and Haydn, I consider this one of the most important Billy videos yet.

While you all sleep, I'm thrilled by the announcement about all the nominations for this year's Sir Laurence Olivier Awards, including a collective nomination for Best Actor in a Musical for George, James and Liam. Although BILLY ELLIOT THE MUSICAL and its stars have been nominated and won several awards in the past, this nomination is the most prestigious. Here are the nominations BEST NEW MUSICAL BEST ACTOR IN A MUSICAL - James Lomas, George Maguire and Liam Mower BEST ACTRESS IN A MUSICAL ...

I now have non-password versions of BLUE PETER (both playable in Putfile and downloadable in Savefile) on my Multimedia List (thanks again to my friends Dekky and Yoyo who sent me both video clips and screencaps): http://www.billyelliotthemusical.me.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=58 It includes scenes not shown in the previous password version, including the boys stretching (and imitating the presenter) before their dance and the final good-byes (with an extremely surly lady holding a cat). Accy _/...

I have a link (to the password-only videos) and a description of today's BLUE PETER with Liam and Ryan on my multimedia site, but I hope to have a non-password version in the next day or so. http://billyelliotthemusical.me.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=58 Accy _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/

I finally have video of Travis Yates from Episode 2 of STUPID. There are links to both Putfile (playable) and Ultrahare (downloadable) on Page 1 of the Multimedia thread http://www.billyelliotthemusical.me.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=58 I also have more pics on the last page of the thread. Accy _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/

Update: Rumour has it that Liam and Ryan will only be performing "Expressing yourself" on the extended version of BLUE PETER on CBBC, not on the shorter version on BBC1. Both versions start at 17:00 on Monday, January 16. http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/whatson/monday Accy _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/

For those not on the fansite, Liam Mower and Ryan Longbottom are scheduled to perform "Expressing Yourself" on BLUE PETER (Monday, January 16, 17:000, BBC1 and CBBC). By Tuesday morning, I hope to have the video on my multimedia list: http://www.billyelliotthemusical.me.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=58 Accy _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/

Just a reminder that voting will end tonight for the poll on Your Favourite TV Appearance of 2005: http://billyelliotthemusical.me.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=58 I first weighed in with my thoughts the other day, but if you haven't voted (or even if you have), you may want to watch one these three remarkable video clips found at the link above: CHILDREN IN NEED (November 18, 2005 VIDEO featuring Liam) Of all the video clips, this stunning live performance by Liam is the one that affects me the m...

tzwicky, Hard for me to comment on the OCR. I've only had it for a day, so I've only listened to it 12 times. I'm hoping that if I listen enough times, I'll desensitize myself so I can listen without crying (especially during STARS LOOK DOWN and the LETTERS). Until then, I'm not putting it on my Ipod because I can't listen in public. In any case...off to do family Christmas stuff...Seasons greetings to all. Accy _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/

Well, after a couple calls and e-mails to Amazon UK (considering I placed my order in early November and after everything I've done to promote them as the best shipping method to North America), my box set [b]FINALLY[/b] arrived today. Turns out it was held up in Canada Customs (who then charged me $10 tax and duty). I was convinced I wouldn't get it until after Christmas. When I left the post office, I stuck it in the CD player. Not a good idea. As soon as "Stars Look Down", I had to start w...
