| Bill to appear in charity World Cup single video |
more from same (The Goodies) |
 According to
http://www.stalbansreview.co.uk/news/8062363.St_Albans_hairdressers__celebri
ty_shoot/, Bill Oddie is one of the celebrities who participated in the filming of a video for a charity World Cup single.
Here's the article, which has a local slant:
St Albans hairdressers' celebrity shoot
3:49pm Thursday 8th April 2010
TWO hair stylists from St Albans groomed celebrities ranging from X-Factor star Chico to television birdwatcher Bill Oddie for the video for a charity World Cup single.
Georgia Merritt & Jenny Leyton of the HOB salon in Chequer Street joined colleagues from other branches at Pinewood Studios, where the Welsh-Morroocan singer was recording the video to his single It's England Time.
The single will be released on May 24 to raise money for the Rainbow Children's Foundation, which provides education and healthcare for impoverished youngsters.
Other stars of the video whose hair was prepared by the St Albans pair included X-Factor finalist Andy Abrahams, models Lizzie Cundy and Bianca Gascoigne, Big Brother's Maysoon Shiladi, and comedienne Kate Robbins.
Chico, who had a number one single with It's Chico Time after appearing on X-Factor in 2005, said: "I want to thank everyone at HOB Salons for their amazing professionalism & incredible styling on the video shoot - it made everyone feel like a million dollars."

| Support the appeal for a new GOODIES DVD! |
more from same (The Goodies) |
A fan effort to get more Goodies DVDs released is underway. Please sign this petition (right away, if possible) and spread the word to your friends: http://www.petitiononline.com/2010gds/petition.html
Here's the fuller explanation about the appeal:
Support the appeal for a new GOODIES DVD!
The aim for this rapid-response petition is to give the BBC real statistics, real feedback and a solid case for releasing a new Goodies DVD.
The timeframe is slim-but-possible to have a DVD produced by November 2010 - The Goodies 40th anniversary. With that said, I'm sure you agree that a new Goodies DVD for 2011 is an equally fantastic goal and would be received with much joy.
The petition will be submitted to BBC Worldwide Australia (and BBC Worldwide head office by proxy) on APRIL 26th. Please sign the petition right away if you can; if we can reach our target earlier, then it can be sent in earlier - and a day saved is a day left for processes to take place before November!
We encourage you to use your real name (rather than just a vague username) and to leave a personalised comment wherever possible! You can choose to keep your email address private.
The petition is at http://www.petitiononline.com/2010gds/petition.html. Any additional comments (positive and encouraging) can be left in the threads on the Goodies Rule - OK! forum and the Saucy Gibbon forums.
Finally, you can help by telling others about the petition. Word of mouth is the key to our success here in showing a true groundswell of support for the release. The more people you can get to sign, the quicker we reach our goal – so please spread the word!
Thank you!

| Radio 4: "Anytime, Anyplace, Anywhere" |
more from same (The Goodies) |
Thanks to Andrew Pixley for the following news:
Just a quick note to let people know that BBC Radio 4 have commissioned a new documentary about “The Goodies” for transmission in November to mark the series' 40th anniversary. It will be presented by Ross Noble and recorded in May by the production company Wise Buddah, who were behind “Monty Python's Wonderful World of Sound” last year. The new programme will be entitled “Anytime, Anyplace, Anywhere”.
That's fundamentally all the information on the project at the moment as it's still in pre-production.

| Graeme in "The Unbelievable Truth" next Monday / ISIRTA Listen Again link |
more from same (British Comedy) |
 * Graeme will be on the panel in BBC Radio 4's "The Unbelievable Truth" next Monday, which is episode 1 in a new series. The show's broadcast will be available online from the Radio 4 website (www.bbc.co.uk/radio4); it will be available for a week after broadcast from Listen Again.
Here's a listing for this episode from http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00rv4db: "David Mitchell hosts another series of the panel game in which four comedians are encouraged to tell lies and compete against one another to see how many items of truth they're able to smuggle past their opponents. Marcus Brigstocke, Henning Wehn, Lucy Porter and Graeme Garden are the panellists obliged to talk with deliberate inaccuracy on subjects as varied as: Sleep, Beer, Childbirth and Sir Isaac Newton. The show is devised by Graeme Garden and Jon Naismith, the team behind Radio 4's I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue. The producer is Jon Naismith, and this is a Random Entertainment production for BBC Radio 4."
* The Listen Again link for this week's BBC Radio 7 repeat of "I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again" (which is the episode with "Moll Flounders") is http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00rm4xh/Im_Sorry_Ill_Read_That_Again_Series_3_Episode_2/
* For the Barry Cryer fans - this week BBC Radio 7 is repeating "Barry Cryer's You Won't Believe This But...", in which Barry reads excerpts from his autobiography. The 15 minute episodes air Monday-Friday; the following link should give you the list of episodes available from Listen Again (episode 1 is available through next Monday).
