Some HHTV news (Horrible Histories on TV, that is)

-
The BBC Proms concert held in July has finally been given a date and time for airing, yay! So, without further ado: Horrible Histories at the BBC Proms will be broadcast on CBBC at 17:45 on 9 September 2011 and on BBC One at 16:00 on 16 September 2011. Huzzah! It's apparently a one-hour show with the highlights from the concert itself. You can see the programme notes here - it has song lyrics and everything!

Meanwhile, I've got the V+ to series link the show again, as for some reason it hasn't done that for some time. Don't know why.

Shooting of Horrible Histories series four will begin in September and it's set to be broadcast in the spring of 2012. All good news!

Other great news is that Laurence Rickard and his mate George Sawyer have got a new website up and running: Larry and George. Go check it out!

And finally, Terry Deary, a.k.a. the author of the books which inspired the TV series, is going to run the length of Hadrian's Wall in September to raise money for a disabled children's charity called Integrating Children. Plan is to run 100 miles in a week, split up as a half-marathon every day between 12-17 September and finish it off by joining the Great North Run on the 18th. I wish him all the best of luck! If you wish to contribute, please go to Terry's JustGiving page.

    I can't wait! I'm as excited as my seven year old. HH is the funniest thing on telly with an amazing cast. BTW, check out 'Nigel and Victoria' on youtube. It's webisodes for Phillips electronics but it's really a wee gem of (romantic?) comedy starring the adorable Ben Willbond from HH. The first series is just brilliant. Ignore the plugs for product at the beginning of each episode and enjoy the lovely awkwardness of Ben trying to talk to a gorgeous woman.

    Thanks, I'll have a look! :)

    HH is amazing, regardless of your age. Think that's a testament to how well they've made it.

I thought there should be a list like this. Maybe there already is, I've just not seen it yet. It's not a massive list by the time of posting this (25 points), but I'm hoping you'll help me come up with more so that one day it will be. :) Last updated: 14 June 2012, the list so far: You know you're a Richard Armitage fan when ...

Richard Armitage will never be himself on TV

One of the interesting comments Richard Armitage was when an interviewer asked him, because he's a great dancer, is if we'd ever see him on something like Strictly Come Dancing . His response was that we'd never get to see Richard Armitage as Richard Armitage on TV. Basically, he's not the kind of celebrity to show up as soon as someone waves an invite to a reality TV show. Richard Armitage as himself. On telly. But not in a reality show. Things that make me love and respect the man: +1! Before I read that interview, I was thinking about him on Strictly , and then started to think of a host of other reality TV shows and whether or not he would be a suitable candidate. This is what I came up with ... Top Gear What it is: This is a car show, or ... a comedy show with cars in, depending on how you look at it. Rupert Penry-Jones and Peter Firth came on it to promote series 7 (?) of Spooks , so why not Richard Armitage? He does drive a car, after all ... Why ...

And you call yourself a Richard Armitage fan?

It's been just about a year since I wrote that post about IF Richard Armitage was gay, what's it got to do with us ? This has since become the most read and the most commented post on this blog, for better or for worse. Hotly debated issue, apparently. The thing that strikes me is how people look upon the subject. A lot of comments were very supportive, saying if he was gay, it might spoil the illusion somewhat, but all in all, if that's who he is, then that's who he is. Others claimed to have evidence of him being a homosexual, but from what I gather, it's really only based on hearsay, rumourmongering and/or "gut feelings". Personally, I'd be interested to hear a gay man's views on this. Why? Because everyone in the debate is female, and the vast majority, if not all, are straight. Ever heard the term "gaydar"? Whose gaydar is more likely to be accurate - a straight female's or a homosexual male's? I know who I'd vote for...
