Well, where
do I start? Have been soooo busy I just haven't had
time to do the blog. Thanks to all concerned who emailed
to ask why I haven't been doing it, the list ran into
tens… (well, almost ten… OK, four). Had
a big push in the last few weeks and all six scripts
for Benidorm series 1 are now written! Of course this
means that the real work of editing them down to (or
near) the required length for ITV begins; also making
sure they are as good as they possibly can be. Yesterday
marked the beginning of the first week of pre-production
- it's sooo exciting!!! Director Kevin and Line Producer
Philippa are in Benidorm today doing technical line
producer/director type stuff and I'm pretty sure that
there is going to be an announcement made by ITV at
the television festival in Edinburgh this month; I'll
check when that exactly is and sneak out a few details
the day before about cast etc. To keep you coming back
for more bloggidge I'm going to give you some clues
to a different cast member every day; starting with
today! So…. The actor in question today was born
in Scotland although his surname would suggest another
part of the UK. Fan's of V.W. will be used to seeing
him in a pair of dungarees in scenes where phones keep
ringing after they've been answered! (Yes, I know, not
exactly The Times cryptic clues but it's better than
nothing!)
