Hot news from the box:

Ladies, are you tired of being a football widow ? Check out the irreverent anti World Cup site. Great for a giggle.

Casualty has always been a good show for celeb spotting, and next through the doors is former Coronation Street star, Sean Wilson, who played Nurse Platt for more than twenty years. Wilson will play a gay man who has impaled his foot on a chopstick ! Watch for him in the episode airing on July 29th.

Stephen Fry hasn't had a dramatic role since Jeeves and Wooster more than 10 years ago. Fry fans will be glad to see him return as a solicitor in a six parter called Kingdom, a legal drama set in Norfolk. Hermione Norris (Wire in the Blood) will also star. 

Those Ab-Fab girls, Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley, are to return in a new series   as yet untitled, which will air sometime next year. 

That's all for this week,

I hope to hear from you sometime soon, either in the forum or in response to this email message. I thrive on your feedback!

Have fun passing this message along to family and friends, because we all love free knowledge!
