Jazzy I remember it I enjoyed it,if it is Mrs Biggs I wonder will he be in the 5 episodes or just 1 because I don't see how he could fit it in with his tour.
I guess it will become clearer as time goes on but the tour will probably fit in between his film commitments. Filming will need a good few weeks i'd imagine, they can just slot him in when he's available. Not really sure how these things work.
His management wrote to Maggiemay saying it's a lead role, A Liz. We still don't know if it's Mrs B. Could be something completely different.
Anyhow, regarding the hair - there's wigs, A Liz. Commonly used; let's not panic yet. Just think - he could do a bio-pic of Yul Brynner (just kidding!!!) Although Mr B (Ronnie that is) looks like he's got dark curly-ish hair, fairly long but brushed back.
He must be itching to spill those beans. Its so good for him to get a TV role, another rung up the ladder! If I was him, i'd hardly be able to keep a a secret but I know he has to until he gets the nod.
Thanks AL I did not see that. It would be a good part for him. But like you, I am hoping for the best. No matter what it is as long as he does a good job (no worries on that) it is good on the resume and good for him.
I am sure I recall a conversation he had on twitter with a fan from Australia who asked him if he would ever plan to come Down Under, I am sure he said it was being looked into.....Mmm
As I understand it the premise for this drama is the love story between Charmain and Ronnie and not The Train Robbery itself and Charmain has had quite a lot of input in the story.
Acer, The way I look on it is when you are an actor that becomes the norm for your family in the same way it is for forces families. A few years ago at work we had a little girl who's father was on the Oil Rigs, to start with it seemed sad that he missed out on great chunks of daughters life but on the flip side he had as many months at home too, spending all that time with his family. Many fathers leave for work before the school run and return at bed time. Lee has said on many occasion he gets to spend lots of time being a hands on Dad so I am sure that will make up for things like tours and filming. Having said that if he is to be away for a while and Denise doesn't have any commitments here in the uk I am sure she and Betsy could go to.
Mrs Biggs? Sounds interesting! It seems to be quite a high profile/expensive drama with it being a co-production between ITV and an Australian company. This means it is quite likely to be sold and shown overseas. It could be a fantastic opportunity for Lee to showcase his ability to a much wider audience.
How interesting, read Kirstens link, apparently our Channel 7 Here in Australia, are involved with ITV
with the production.It did say they will be filming on locations here in Australia-Adelaide, Melbourne,
Wonder if Lee will come down under? I remember as a young girl watching some of this unfold on our tv.
Thanks ladies for all the 'info' and links
There are certainly some very exciting dramas in the 'melting pot' for this year...
It will be fabulous if Lee gets one of the really big roles too...
I hope we get to hear all about it on AT tomorrow... the suspense is killing isn't it?...
I don't know if I've stumbled upon something here, but a lady on Twitter has just tweeted this:
My 10yo has an exciting day filming a new episode of Bedlam (Sky1) tomorrow with @leemeadofficial - I get to chaperone so fun for me too!!
Looks spooky!!
ETA: Just gone back for another look, and the tweet seems to have been removed. Someone's mum spilled the beans by the look of things! Oh well, we'll all know for sure in the fullness of time!
Not sure we should be discussing this as its not public news yet. I feel sorry for Lee if that lady has spoilt things for him. What a stupid thing to do.
It is all speculation, and nothing untoward has been said. However Lee is in Manchester for a few days again and that is where a certain Sky TV series is filmed.
Don't get excited, I haven't heard any news about "the role". I don't have Sky, but am I right in thinking that Will Young is in Bedlam, according the the website he is. Will Young is a guest on Graham Norton tonight, wonder what he will talk about????
