Download cartoon_sessions.htm Firstly. I've posted a few more photos - Pitt and Kantropp Sessions. And also a sheet itemising all the cartoons I've done over the last 10 years. It's taken months to do, and it's still not quite complete. However, as an anorak's guide, it's pretty good. Thanks to Dave Peacock at The Sound Company for lending me his studio diaries from 2000 onwards. Most of the work I've done has been there. The Angelina Ballerina details came from Corinne at Grand Slamm Children's Films, who made Angelina for Hit. The rest is from Invoices and my diaries.
Just got back from BBC 3 Counties Radio, where I was interviewed about myself for an hour or so by Katy Lewis, a radio journalist, who back in the days I was in a sketch troupe in Edinburgh was doing our PR. She rang me a few weeks ago about doing some stuff for Comic Relief - compering a music gig they're putting on. I said no, but interviews are always welcome. Nice time talking about my career (if that's not too grand a word for a series of gigs) and nice to see her after so many years.
It's been a busy week, what with a new show recording on Monday (Apollo's Pad) and lots of promos for Virgin On Demand. A trip to Ikea at the weekend was also a blast, got a new chest of drawers for inside the built in wardrobe. Ah the excitement of life sometimes gets too much. This morning I was up at a time that no man should see so that I could get to Shepherds Bush and do a couple of radio ads for The Spectator and The Business Magazine. Following me in was Jon Glover, a fellow voice man, who always jokes that we get to do poofs and businessmen, following a spate of doing just that a couple of years ago. Jon was in Goon Again, Dirk Maggs recreation of the Goon Show in 2002. I was incandescent with envy about that, but at least it went to a mate and got to see the show from near the front row.
Talking of envy, Rob got a recall for The 39 Steps. Had lunch with him yesterday. He'll have a job with the director (Maria Aitken) who, if she's anything like the Round The Horne director, will be a bit worried about his lack of theatre experience (i.e none whatsoever). But, the fact that he's a brilliant voice man, and a great improviser, will probably do the job. It worked for me.
I'm still working on the house, the shower still isn't installed and the floor for the living room will be done as soon as someone phones me back to organise it. It's one long series of delays at the moment. I'd rather be working frankly.
Tomorrow - Frankenstein's Cat (hooray!) and another promo for Virgin on demand. I'm off the gym now.
