Hope you like the super-trooper style lighting rig - otherwise known as an Ikea lamp. Gives the film a sort of Flashdance feel, don't you think?

Originally performed at the Green Hammerton School talent show in July. Sorry it's so long - but I didn't film it first time round and need it for the wedding speech!

I haven't been so nervious since, well, acting for the Easingwold Players. I normally play this flawlessly. Honest! [It's my own arrangement].

Jenni and I unintentionally doubled up on buying puds so we served little portions of everything and then gave each pud a score. Note one of the personalised comedy coasters with a "making a splash" theme. You can guess what was on the others ...
