Derren Litten

I purposefully haven't been writing about the house we are trying to buy because I didn't want to "jinx" the deal… So much fucking use that was; things aren't going well, the deal isn't off yet but it's just more cocking about that I really could do without right now. I suppose I should be thankful that I'm really busy right now and don't have that much time to sit and dwell on it but we seem to be at a sticking point that is out of my control. We do have to be out of this rented house at the end of October though so a decision has to be made one way or another pretty soon. Oh well, whatever happens is usually for the best in the long run, even if it doesn't seem that way at the time (now if someone has suggested that pearl of wisdom to me this afternoon after I had got off the phone to the estate agent I would have gleefully cut off their head with a blunt sheet of A4). I think ITV are going to announce my new show "Benidorm" at the Edinburgh TV Festival today so maybe my cryptic clues as to the cast will end after today. Anyway, we had more casting today in Soho and there is another session in Manchester tomorrow which I wont be attending (but shall have the pleasure of fast forwarding on video tape at some point). So here is (possibly) the last clue of the identity of a member of the cast of ITV's new comedy show by that not very well known scribbler and advert whore Darrell Linton (as I'm sure I will end up being billed… the last time I did an episode of 'Casualty' in the credits I was billed as "Derren Little" - I wouldn't mind but it was the third fucking time I'd done it)… So, this performer/writer was born in Blackburn, Lancashire. A couple of his less famous TV and film credits are Death On The Nile (2004) and Woody Allen's 'Match Point'. It's great that we are filming on location in Benidorm because he is quite local…. So there ya go; hopefully that wasn't too easy. I shall decant myself to the living room to watch "Location Location Location" whilst crying into my glass of carrot and apple.
