As mentioned before I did a photo shoot with Sean at the Space Centre in Leicester to do some promo shots for our costumes. Well I have posted one of the best ones and I'm well pleased! Thanks to Nigel who took the photo, top job my friend!


Game Over Man!

I will be off to Spain next week on that parade and I will post up the pics when I get back.

Herstmonceux Observatory Astronomy Festival - September 7th 2008 
A little late on the report but I wanted to wait for the photos and thanks to Mark who took them it was worth the wait.

The Astronomy centre held it's annual festival with 3 days of events and activites. As well as guest speakers and trade stalls the public could also tour and view the telescopes. The main guest was Sir Patrick Moore who apart from his guest appearance was also doing a talk called "My View of the Moon".

On the Sunday of the 3 day event was the family activity fun day with lots for the kids to do, making and launching air powered rockets as well as all the hands on displays inside.

The UKG were invited to attend again and keep the crowds in order and entertained. We were kept busy with the kids and many press ups were enforced! One of the highlights for us and apparently for him was having our photo taken with the great man himself Sir Patrick Moore.

It was a really great day, the weather held off and was really good as the days running up to the event had been really bad. As ever the company of my fellow UKGers made it a lot of fun and we were well looked after by the Astronomy Centre. Fed and watered and that Chocolate cake! uummGRIN.

And to top off a great day was when we went back to the Canteen and re-enacted Eddie Izzards Death Star Canteen sketch, absolutely classic and the trays really were wet!!!



I would like to thank Don, Glen, Lisa and Mark (thank you Mark for taking such great photos) and of course Sean.

Well you may have guessed from the lack of posting I didn't get the acting job I auditioned for which I had high hopes. I was really gutted but I guess it's a part of the acting world! (still doesn't make it any easier though!)
Well you can see below I posted my write up of my days filming on Doctors, I still have a report of a UKG event at Herstmonceux Astronomy Centre, just waiting on the photo's to come through which should be at some point this week.
One bit of great news is I have got some work at a very special event next week. I will be part of the largest ever seen medieval parade of over 130 mounted knights and soldiers riding through an amazing event in Valencia, Spain. I am looking forward to it very much and of course will post up a report and photo's when I get back.GRIN
I have also just taken part in a photo shoot at the Space Centre in Leicester in my Alien costume along with Sean in his Marine costume to get some promotional photo's to advertise our costumes. Of course I will post a couple here when I get them so you can see how good they look. There will be some great shots from what I saw on the day, can't wait!

Doctors filming - 19th September  
Just a days filming as a police officer for a Christmas episode of Doctors. Filmed in the Harbourne area of Birmingham, as you can see from the photo a lovely sunny day for once! Typical when they try to convey that its winter! Just had a couple of scenes arriving in the police car and being outside the house when an ambulance arrives and you see me stop one of the episodes main characters trying to get to the girl being led into the ambulance.
I did suggest to someone in the crew they should make me a regular police character in the series, this is the third time I have appeared as a copper! :) AS usual everyone was very nice on set and as always a pleasure to work on Doctors.

Hey!
Just had a good audition today and I really hope I get it, I won't go into it as I don't want to jinx it. Obviously I will let you know if I get it or not. I have another days filming on Doctors this coming Friday as a tough police woman (hhmm, me tough?! :D) Looking forward to give my tough stare again GRIN
I attended a UKG troop the other week and will post a report up as soon as I get some photos as we hung out with a very cool special guest!

Fingers crossed
