Non-BC-related Cabin Pressure post!
I subscribed to John Finnemore's newsletter thing for Cabin Pressure. Here's what just arrived in my inbox:
"Hello!
Thanks for signing up, and sorry about all the cloak and dagger stuff, but I want to keep this quite low-key and only findable by people who might really be interested.
As you may know, over the summer I did a series of try-outs of material for my radio sketch show in a nice pub in Kilburn. I found this so helpful as a way of finding out what worked and what didn't - and also such fun to do - I've decided to do the same thing with this series of Cabin Pressure.
So, at 8pm on Mondays the 22nd October, 5th November and 19th November, I and a cast of my friends will perform work-in-progress versions of the new scripts for series four at the Priory Tavern, London, NW6 4BT. I will also do a short Q and A after each one. If you would like to come, please reserve a ticket (£7, payable on the door) here: www.doodle.com/mmbbtqq3vpurcegd
A few things to bear in mind. 1) These are works in progress, which means there will be bits that need more progress before they'll work! 2) I know you're not the sort of people who would ever post spoilers anyway, but obviously details of the plots are particularly secret at this stage. 3) I will be playing Arthur, but none of the rest of the radio cast will be there.
Having said all that, if the Priory Engagements are anything to go by, it'll be really fun. And if you're lucky, you might get to see the pub kitten."
I obviously won't be able to go, but in case any of you are local to London...I'm sure this would be loads of fun. Judging by humour, I find Finnemore so cute. (Just can't quite imagine tearing off his clothes, though. Should probably keep that list rather short.) Happy Thursday, all!
