Well, now that the cast has been selected I trust that all the actors are busy checking out their characters on that wikipedia gadget mentioned by various correpondents. Staging a Goon Show Revival will be a massive job and requires many backstage personnel, so Catherine, while the gallant Surly Sebba ...OOPS! Sorry, Sir Leigh Sebba has stepped in and saved your blushes, by undertaking the challenging role of Minnie Bannister, I feel that the Executive Producer, Mary, will find you an important part for you to fill with your usual enthusiasm. Possibly in charge of 'Costume', where your sense of style and grasp of Haute Couture will prove invaluable.
Should we need any scene shifting maybe you could use your feminine wiles to coerce John into helping out? I know that when it comes to humping heavy wheels and jacks about in the pits he usually leaves it to you, but your hands will be full trying to fit Leigh in to a size ten frock.




For those who are not familiar with Catherine the 'Fashionista' I append the following photographic evidence.

From what I hear you rarely get the hump, Jack.

Can I be Minnie Mouse instead ?

Or, perhaps more appropriate to this site, Minnie Driver ? (or Mini Driver – which I once was )

Sorry Leigh, we have no other parts left in this production, it's Minnie Bannister for you I'm afraid.
When we start casting for our Disney production later in the year we will bear you in mind for the part of Minnie Mouse.

Mary,
I feel we will have enough or our hands full fitting Leigh into a size 10 frock, but Minnie Mouse's hot pants!!! Or am I confusing her with Mickey?

By the way the ' Dreaded Balder of Bexhill' was the title of one episode and revolved around a 'Jack the Ripper' type who struck at famous people during the night and shaved their heads. Meanwhile Moriarty opend a tabacco kiosk in Bexhill. At one point Neddy hear's Big Ben strike midnight and all you heard was the sound of twelve booming gongs. Incredibly funny.

You had better get you nominee rehearsing the "Bloodnok Rock 'n Roll Call Blues'.

Booby. Whoops ................ Bobby.
