" .. I've now got a phoney high pitched northern accent (rather like a deranged Postman Pat) which will at once be loved by the ITV masses...it's very Manchester United." He hasn't done anything good since Drop The Dead Donkey.  |

Hmmm. Who got more out of Ballykissangel - him or Dervla Kirwan?
A lot of DTDD available on Channel 4od and their Youtube channel. Still as good today as ever - and considering how stupid 24 hour news has become - we could do with it being back again.

Another spurious link: I went to school with a boy whose name was Robert Duncan. Not the same person, most likely, but nevertheless, the same name. |

At Vickers Computer Centre on Scotswood Road I used to work with a bloke called Richard Bowe. When I first met him, and started to say "Wait a minute -- Richard B . . .", he stopped me and said "Yes". His budgie was called Sam. He later went on to build the Channel Tunnel. (Richard, not Sam.) Am I famous yet? |

Even more spurious; My Mum used to go to school on the same bus as Martin Jarvis.   |

I have Stephen Tompkinson's address and phone number. He wrote it down for me. And signed it. I gave it to my sister because she was his fan, not me. And we agreed never to contact him because that would be wrong and also pointless. But having the power to stalk him if we wished to was very pleasant.
Later that week, he and Dervla Kirwan met up in a closed lesiure complex mall to rehearse some rubbish scene, probably for BallyK, I didn't watch BallyK so I wouldn't have recognised the script. I was there, setting up the unit I worked in at the time for the day's business, and to be perfectly frank I found them slightly irritating, upsetting my calm and interupting my routine with their giggling and flirting and ridiculously pathetic soppy looks and overpowering sexual chemistry. Pests.
My friend and I spent a day being extras for Ballykissangel - that's me sitting in the audience in the talent festival scene, with long brunette hair, acting my little socks off, I am well respected for my interpretation of 'ennui'. I'm on screen for nearly a whole second, both times, look out for me.
Dervla arrived on set a rush of limo-protected security and wore her dark hollywood sunglasses while she was escorted 30ft through swathes of mud to her mark, then following hushed and serious looking whispering with Mr Tompkinson, she said her two lines and was escorted 30ft back to the waiting limo and presumably driven to the catering bus where she seemed to spend the rest of the day.
My friend was the only woman ever to be asked into the make-up cabin to remove some of her make-up because it was too strong for the TV lighting.

What's wrong wi a Lancashire accent Pal! Nothing wrong with it, kidda. Some of those southern accents can be quite cute. Scouse, for example. But not Sunderland, obviously. |
