Thanks for the info Nerfy. Any news on how Russel Watson is doing lately? Is there any chance at all he could play the Parson again?

Nice Nerf!

Wicked poster btw!

Do you know if this tour will be released onto dvd yet?

[Scifishocks]

Okie Doke. What I know so far...
Russell Watson's condition, last I heard, was still being looked at after his relapse. Nothing has been released of late on this, that I know about. Russell is almost certainly not going to be Parson Nathaniel this time around.
I have been told who is in the frame for the part but I am sworn to secrecy until the deal is done (which should be soon).
Some will know of this chap, some won't.
I do know that the Richard Burton FX are being redeveloped using 'cutting edge technology' and there will be some other new features for the show.
Also, I have seen the proposals from the publicity company involved (also Top Secret for the moment, sorry) and it looks like, if half the proposals are utilised, you won't be able to move for news and features about the Tour in the run up.
As for a new DVD... I couldn't tell you.

BTW. I have bigger pdf copy of the poster (that one is only at 75% beacause of space) if anyone wants me to email it. PM me if you do.

I'll let you know if anything else happens.

[Wastedyuthe]

Cheers. I envy you pal.

Good man Nerf! Cheers!

[Scifishocks]

Not on this I can't. Sorry.
If Jeff's people tell me something in confidence, it stays as such. So there.
