Barely have we got home from the last (100% Barrowman-free!) panto, and here I am looking to organise the next one. Ahem.

John is appearing in Aladdin at the SECC in Glasgow

Let me know which days you are interested in by using this handly little poll:

[Poll #1505220]

At the moment there are tickets available for these dates varying from Row C backwards. Front stalls tickets cost £27.50.

Currently interested in going are:
Me
nogbad
steviesun
doylefan22
(I can't remember if anyone else definitely said yes to going on Monday or not)

Once we've got the date sorted I'll start investigating hotels, flights, trains etc.

Various links from around my flist:

The 10 Most Amazing Ghost towns

Screech from Saved by the Bell is writing a tell-all book. I can't believe that it was all sex and drigs and rock 'n' roll on SbtB.

Harvey Kietel IS Gene Hunt, apparently - I've still not seen the US pilot. I think it's for the best.

John Barrowman IS Captain America? maybe, possibly - LOL, but no. But LOL.

Over on YouTube - John Barrowman and Naoko Mori sing highlights from Miss Saigon - Gareth David-Lloyd just looks a bit bemused sat in the middle of them. Bless him.

thefannishwaldo liveblogs the Doctor Who panel at the SD Comic Con. Interesting to note that Russell T Davies is writing the Torchwood scripts and the Moff is writing the first script of S5.

According to the Sun Freema's ruined Torchwood and RTD has crossed her off his Christmas list.
I did have a big rant attached to this about people slagging off Freema's acting, about how her acting is better than a lot of what passes for acting on Hollyoaks, still learning her trade, how it is required that you love Crossroads if you're a Brummie and how she can't be all that bad if she's getting jobs in loads of other things (unlike Emma Watson, who I've seen her compared to recently), but LJ crashed and it only saved the links in the drafts so it's a rant that's lost now to the mists of time. Which is probably for the best.

And a quick thing on Bonekickers:
Do they only have a £10 budget for the sets? I've been caving in and around Avon/Witshire and I've never seen any bright red caves dusted in gold glitter. I must have been going to the wrong caves, obviously.

For all its massive faults - I still can't stop watching it though.

REJOICE FOR THERE WILL BE A THIRD ANNUAL PANTO MEET-UP!!

Thanks to seti_drd I've discovered that John is doing Panto at the Hippodrome in Birmingham! YES Birmingham! YES LESS THAN FORTY MINUTES FROM MY HOUSE!!!!

And so close I'll be going more than once! WIN!

So flistees who will be most likely going (i.e. steviesun, doylefan22, kharma2815, morbid_sparks) when would be the best time to go? I agree with charlotte, we should do it pre-christmas but that only gives us 22nd December and His Lordship is having his 30th birthday then. Woes. So post-christmas?

ETA: OMG! You've all got to go to the best takeaway in the WORLD! aka Mr Egg afterwards.

He's still got the moves

Torchwood! (There's now Scripts and they're going to be casting and stuff), John and Olga on ice (Brilliant!)
Scottish accents, mocking Andi, mocking John
Screenshots!

If you've been watching The Sound of Musicals and you loved it, write to the BBC and let them know. Hopefully if enough of us do so they'll make some more.

20 votes! 20 votes! That's all that split him from David Seaman in the 'race' for the Skate off. It's quite upsetting to think that we could have saved him.

Impressively his manages to stay professional even when Fiona Phillips is slagging off Kelly Holmes...

Lorraine Kelly manages to trigger his Scottish accent in about 2 seconds and he keeps it for the majority of the interview much to my amusement.

SUNSET BOULEVARD \o/

It is a match made in heaven. I can't get over how *little* the hammster is when stood next to normally tall people. Bless him. Although I very nearly missefd this due to one of our many powercuts.

F**king Amarillo!! I hate that song!

He's so lovely. Honestly, one of the lovliest men alive!
