Series 2... filming starts Jan 2016

Bah, who needs perfect good looks and decadent trips to festivals in Canada with a gorgeous man, when you can spend the afternoon rewashing Thomas the tank pants to remove the skid marks.

Funnily enough, that's what I'm doing, Jen. I just love potty training.

So judging that Ben's in Canada, that's what his mate Claire meant, when she wrote in a message come back soon Ben.

Don't get your alka seltzer mixed up with the napisan Jen.

There's a recipe for thrush if ever I heard one...

As they are filming Reign at moment maybe he is back in it??

Only main cast have been confirmed yet. Just keep an eye on posts from crew and the director.

Been down to harbour for a walk and had my face chippy for tea.

Christ I've just tapped in here on the MN mobile sight do you don't get pictures and there's a hot BA photo!!! And just seen a "Rhubarb" update!!!

Need to head to bar to get wifi and be unsociable and read all updates.!!

I'm very excited to see a rhubarb update. Off to enjoy it now!

I must say Anna "Narnia" Popplewell is a jammy cow sitting next to BA and his wide open legs! Imagine standing between those legs!!

Oo yes off to look at rhu update....

excellent rhu. Jake's Secret also updated

Really great chapter rhu. I've always loved your writing.

Just looked on Twitter for updates on Reigns director & crew but can't see any word on BA. Even his CV doesn't mention it. I'll keep an eye on it. If he is doing it, I bet he loved getting that call from his agent as he's not really been doing that much recently, I don't think.

You'll have indulge me here but I don't think this spells good news for OG.
Because after he did Reign last time, he was on Hollywood's radar and landed Detour. I think it could happen again this time. Even if he is potentially signed up to S2, after that I think he'll be in Hollywood again and definately no chance of a CJ/MD series S3 together. In which case, that really saddens me. So having any cameo scenes in this series will be the last chance.

I wouldn't read too much into it kel, he's probably not got much to do and fancied a holiday ... he should get himself more work over here in the UK. Mind, if they get paid 250K or whatever it was for a 5 part BBC series, maybe he has earned enough not to worry about working for a while?? If I earned 250K for six months work, or however long it took for OG to be filmed, I'd be putting my feet up and enjoying myself!!

I hope its just like a jolly boys holiday nickel but I think it's probably filming. With you mentioning 250k that MK's getting, I was wondering the other day how much of a wage rise BA would be getting for S2.

Its a very warm evening here tonight. Sleeping with the windows open me thinks.

They don't start filming until January, so probably not rehearsals before November, as long as he's signed up for S2 (and ice's intel has been good so far) then he should be able to squeeze some other jobs in Kelly. It may not bode well for a S3, but there's no guarantee we would get that anyway.

He's too good an actor for Reign and tripe like that, I wish he'd get some good UK parts (especially theatre, I'd love to see him in something) instead of chasing America which is just going to typecast him as posh English person.

What a disjointed night it's been. Spent about an hour on the phone to a man in a far off land helping me with my BT query. He was helpful, I have to say, but it's an hour of my life I'll never get back.

Then my elderly neighbour came round. He'd asked me ages ago to see my photos of Amsterdam and I kept forgetting so I told him to come round tonight, after he'd reminded me very gently yesterday. He's a good sort and happy to help me with any DIY jobs I can't do myself so it's worth having to sit through some of his rather boring reminiscences now and again. I'm not sure what he thought of the photos - he was too busy talking about his past!

Lovely ff - four in a row! Rhubarb you are a dark horse and Lola so pleased you've updated Jake's Secret.

The photos Lola posted of BA and his pals just serves to highlight in my view how bloody young he is. As CJ, he seemed a mature individual, probably looked about 35 or so, but it brings it home seeing some of these photos that I am old enough to be his mother!!

That's true what you're saying pix. Trouble is with me there's so much riding on S2.

Talk about riding, what was Life in Squares like tonight pix?

Life in Squares was full of mumbling bohemians Kelly I had to turn the subtitles on because I couldn't hear what they were saying. One very quick (almost Boris Becker quick) tumble in the hay and that was your lot. Virginia had a breakdown and tried to top herself and they all decamped to the country to dig up manglewurzles for the duration of WW1

I flicked through Life in Squares after my elderly neighbour went, quite simply looking for the gratuitous sex, much talked about by the critics. I couldn't find any other than the scene in the hayloft. Will cancel the recording I think.

Very windy today. More like autumn.

Dia duit!

Off to the zoo today. Looking forward to it.

CJ very popular. He's ditched the combats today and wearing jeans - phwoarr

Morning.

How disappointing then. I thought there would be much more in the way of quality action. I might cancel my recording too.

Twin boys are obsessed this morning with a house across the road that's getting an extension built. They're watching a lorry deliver some metal piping and bricks. Thought there might be a CJ type delivery driver but its an old man.

I was thinking I hope BA's character in Reign isn't trying to cop off with that Caitlin Stacey's Kenna character. I can't stand her. Shes got a website all about celebrating women's nakednes and loves to mention how she pleasures herself (as if we want to know!) and on Twitter she's always complaining/moaning about everything or having some beef with someone.

Also today. Its my Mam's last day of c treatment. She's so brave. I arranged flowers to be delivered to her this morning before she goes out later.

Ilove thanks for your continued Destination appreciation.

That's such a lovely thing to do Kelly I hope your mum isn't suffering too much with the chemo.

I don't often watch the news these days (too tired by 10), but we were watching last night and there was an item on pancreatic cancer which wasn't very positive about survival rates. Poor MrP was rather quiet when we were watching. His mum is due to have her pancreas removed when she's strong enough to go through the operation.

Thanks pix. She's very weak and trying to eat and drink as much as she can.

How is your MIL doing? I was thinking about her the other day.

This one's for Jen and Kelly

That pretty much covers it!

Yip pix. Sounds familiar.

Off to read the section called 'is my son a dick?'
