"Blackpool" - The Show

[Mary]

Look out for a new BBC 1 6-part drama which should be screening sometime in October starring our very own Will and Kate. OK, well not starring exactly but they did join us for a few days of filming at the Rivoli Ballroom. Our director and choreographer and the rest of the crew were all so impressed by them. They had a bit of a feature spot where they did some stunning moves and airsteps, and will also be appearing as background artists in the scenes we shot there - look out for the snogging couple!!!!! (yes, they were asked to snog, it wasn't their idea).

I was so proud of them as they were well-liked and admired by the crew and the full-time professional dancers - there was a lot of swapping of moves going on.

The show itself is a semi-musical drama set in Blackpool about an amusement arcade owner. It's got a bit of everything really - sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll. Will and Kate will be appearing in the final episode as part of a big wedding scene. I will post again when I have more details of transmission dates

Sounds great, but hey Mary, the snogging scene just sounds like any regular night at Ceroc :wink: :rofl:

Not after Boomer saw you coming out from behind the stage curtain doing up your flies :eek: , how could I :wink: :rofl: :whistle:

Thought I'd resurrect this thread as there is now a confirmed transmission date for the show. The first episode goes out on Thursday 11th November at 9pm on BBC1 - set your video recorder. Shame it didn't get a Sunday evening slot, but I gather it was something to do with "Sports Personality of the Year" :(

Will and Kate don't appear until Ep 6 in December, but I think the whole series will be great fun to watch, as it is a semi-musical, semi-dance drama series.

The BBC website tells a bit more about it. www.bbc.co.uk/drama/blackpool

Oh, and Gordy, if you want to coerce Pammy into a snog then go and hi-jack somebody else's thread! :mad: :wink:

The first episode goes out on Thursday 11th November at 9pm on BBC1 ... Will and Kate don't appear until Ep 6 in December

... so, if I have calculated correctly, that means we will all be able to see Rip van Will-kle in the flesh at 9pm on Thu 16 Dec ...

Cheers Peter. And yes I do know how to set a VHS recorder, but I need a remote control (not the universal one I have now) - damned inconsiderate burglars took remote but not VHS!!! I know I have my blond moments - what about you?!!!

Yep and me! Reminded me a bit of 'Pennies from heaven'. I enjoyed watching Blackpool, except the constant chewing of gum (pet hate number 2) - yuch!

Can't wait to see Rip van Will-kle :rofl:

No blonde moments here ... more like grey days, sometimes months

[Peter]

Can't wait to see Rip van Will-kle :rofl: Elaine

Saw him at Fulham last night, with very short hair, no beard. Barely recognisable!
