I'm not to sure if this would be the case if Billy Elliot was on the likes of "Children in Need" as this would be a one-off performance.

If "Billy" did ever over run, I'm sure it could be a very interesting situation to witness!

By the way Felix, where did you get your pictures from in your thumbnail?

The show frequently overruns by 5 or 10 minutes. I'm not sure if it has ever seriously overrun but with a 20 minute intermission there is always some leeway plus there is a 10 minute encore that could be cut in an emergency.

Hey, i think it would be a great shame if they had to cut the encore in the finale as i enjoy it so much, but hopefully the show wont be over run and no cutting scenes would happen!
Electricty, its funny as i was thinking exactly the same thing about the pic Felix has! Hey, if you dont mind sharing with us where you got your pic from Felix it would be great!
Thanks, GMFan!! X

Hi, I don't know if this proves anything but this website has a list of all the people who are going to be on Comic Relief and the Billy boys are not on it. Here is the website:

Just thought you guys might want to know. Doesn't look like Billy Elliot is going to be on it

i think the reason why billy isnt on the comic relief list is because comic relief was in march this year! i think you've muddled up Children in Need with Comic Relief lol!

bunny2, try ibdb.com. I think it won't work for most of theatre performers in imdb.com
I'm not sure if this will work as well. I think this is only for broadway stars, but I found LMK there.

Ooops I just realised this morning I got mixed up between Comic Relief and Children in Need...how embarassing. Doh! Ignore me then. So theres still a chance that they will be on! Yay!

The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) lists movies and TV shows, including TV appearances, interviews and DVD features. Please note, the database is quit extensive and so you will sometimes find multiple entries under the same name (i.e. there is more than one George Maguire and James Lomas).

http://imdb.com/find?q=billy,elliot

http://www.imdb.com/Name?Mower,+Liam

http://www.imdb.com/Name?Maguire,+George (II)

http://www.imdb.com/Name?Lomas,+James (II)

http://www.imdb.com/Name?Gwynne,+Haydn

http://www.imdb.com/Name?Healy,+Tim (II)

Anyone can submit information after registering, but it is a little tricky and time consuming, and it can take several weeks before it is posted since they try to verify entries. If you know of TV interviews, birthdays or other information about major cast members and don't know how to add them to IMDb, you can e-mail me [e-mail] with details such as exact dates.

Well I'm off to see the show again tomorrow with a few others from this board! I can't wait

I hope that James will be performing the role of "Billy" as I've not seen him in ages.

I will post a review on Sunday with hopefully more photos to add to the gallery page on the Billy Elliot fansite.

Until the next time... enjoy watching "Children In Need" tonight, in the hope that "Billy" will be on!

That is from the official website.
WOW! How many times have you seen the show? You're soo lucky. I wish I could go again. Well, anyway, 15 days for me before seeing the show again.

Wow, he was great. It was fantastic to see it, as I haven't seen the actual show. Hope you all caught it.

[Simply Musicals]

Posted: 11/18/05 at 2:53pm

OH NO!

Did anyone else notice that he completely missed his cue at the very start!
Oh well, apart from that he was great!

[Electricity]

Posted: 11/18/05 at 2:53pm

Two words for Liam's performance...

Absolutely amazing!

[Simply Musicals]

Posted: 11/18/05 at 2:54pm

yeah but did u notice at the start he came in at the wrong point..probably because it is a very difficult beginning and there was no conductor.

[loopy_lucy_loo]

Posted: 11/18/05 at 2:56pm

wow...that was soo amazing...i havnt not seen Liam before and he was truly breath taking...i actualyls at there smiling at my TV (im so sad lol)...and who cares about him issing his que he carried on like a true professional and covered it amazingily

[Simply Musicals]

Posted: 11/18/05 at 2:59pm

yeah didnt he! it must be REALLY nervewracking and very different from the stage show....in a massive studio with live cameras rolling...well done liam...did anyone record it?

[Chris T]

Posted: 11/18/05 at 3:01pm

He did get a bit confused, opened with something like "I can't got the words", he then realised his mistake and waited, coming back on track fine for "It's a feeling that you can't control". I don't think anybody other than the die hard fans would have spotted it.

It was good to see Liam, I've seen George twice, Leon and James. Is it definately Liam on the CD? Interesting that he said that there were three Billys, not 4. What is James' role in the show now? Is he a cover who is at the theatre in case one of the other Billys can't go on, or is he actually down to do some performances.

On another note, is George going or staying on December 3rd and when is Travis starting?

WELL DONE LIAM!!

A great performance and for a really worthy cause as well :)
