In which we try to review and show pictures and clips of the best bits from everything Gavin & Stacey actress Joanna Page has been in on TV, radio, theatre and film (we’re drawing the line at audio books). As life challenges go, it’s not quite up there with Danny Wallace’s Yes Man, but it’s worth doing.
Joanna Page has been tweeting from her new Sky1 pet show. Look, lots of lovely animals!
Our Joanna does like to talk, as her appearance on Jonathan Ross’s show proved beyond contention. Now she’s launching a campaign to encourage people to talk more.
Knowing how important it is to make time for a chat, Joanna is encouraging us all to slow down , have a cup of tea, snuggle up on the sofa, and make time for our special calls.
Brits still spend a breathtaking amount of time talking to each other. However, the quality of those conversations is in jeopardy.
Increasingly we’re squeezing in our calls when we’re doing other things, rather than making time for a proper chat with people we care about, and this is damaging relationships and killing quality conversation. Calls made hurriedly in transit (or chit for short) are getting in the way of our chat. These are just some of the findings of a new social study carried out by BT as it paints the UK’s first ‘Talktrait of a Nation’.
As part of the study, people can go to www.talktraits.co.uk and take a quiz to find out whether they are a Happy Chatter, a Duty Dialler, an Evader or even an Unrung Hero.
Here she is in what’s obviously her home and not a set, looking exactly the way she does whenever she’s on the phone.
It’s been a long time since the last Today’s Joanna Page. What’s she been up to? When she’s next going to be on tele, I hear you ask?
Well, obviously I don’t hear you ask, because that would be sure sign of insanity. Although…
Anyway, you could ask her yourself since she’s now on Twitter. But after doing panto over Christmas…
…she filmed an episode of Marple with Sir Donald Sinden. Haven’t yet watched Marple so this one’ll be a first. Apparently, she laughed a little too much on the last day of filming when the body turned up.
She’s also been on a tribute show for Welsh actress Margaret John, is about to start filming a pet show for Sky 1 with TV vet Marc Jacobs, and has kissed some Dunhill shirt collars to raise money for prostate cancer research. And she’s probably judging Nokia’s X6 competition to find a new entertainment reporter at this very moment.
But spare a thought for her poor hubby, James Thornton, who ended up in hospital over Valentine’s Day weekend after being hit by a car. He’s on the mend now, thankfully, which means he’ll likely end up doing yet another Ready, Steady, Cook with her – they’ve done two so far.
Everyone watch Gavin & Stacey over Christmas? Good, that’s what I like to hear. As a reward, here’s a picture of Joanna Page from FHM as well as a pic of her as Cinderella – she’s been doing panto over Christmas, too, and giving advice to Pamela Anderson on the subject, too.
After the jump, her recent chat with Paul O’Grady on his chat show. Happy New Year to you all!
