Today’s Joanna Page: the iTunes festival

Joanna Page on the iTunes music festival

Just to mix it up a bit with Today’s Joanna Page, here’s a picture (or two) from her visit to the iTunes music festival, where she managed to avoid falling asleep while being interviewed by Peaches Geldof – although Peaches clearly wishes she’d taken her Ritalin before having to do an actual, you know, like job for a change.

Here’s JP miming a spinning class from when she joined a gym.

You can watch the full interview below on YouTube. Try not to throw a brick at your monitor whenever Peaches is on-screen.

You know, I will get round to a proper look at Miss Julie and This Year’s Love, one day. I’m not just stalling for time, honest.

Today’s Joanna Page: Cinderella (again)

Today’s Joanna Page comes from THE BEST AND LUCKIEST MAN IN THE UNIVERSE, Scott Matthewman, who recently interviewed JP for The Stage. He took lots of lovely pictures of our Joanna and was generous enough to offer this one to the blog. It’s his so don’t nick it, anyone.

As you might have noticed, she’s in full costume as Cinderella to publicise her panto role this year. Notably:

  1. She’s going to have to sing. With Gareth Gates. Not at all nerve-wracking then
  2. Her hubby’s playing Dandini

Joannaphiles can consult the blog’s looks at Mine All Mine and Bye, Bye Harry for previous instances of these phenomena.

Gavin & Stacey : Complete BBC Series 2

Do you know what my wife said when she saw this had arrived through the post? "Oh, lush."

I’m not saying she is Joanna Page or Stacey, just that sometimes the similarities get a little spooky.

Anyway: Gavin & Stacey, bit of a sleeper hit during its first series on BBC3, won surprising amounts of awards, then suddenly went through the roof during series two, which went on to win even more awards.

Now series two is going to be repeated on BBC1 (starting this Friday) just in time for a Christmas special, also to be aired on BBC1, and for this DVD release.

It’s a lovely little sitcom about a girl from Wales and a boy from SE England who meet, fall in love and get married (rings some bells. Hmm). But as the tag line almost says, it’s not just the two of them and the story is as much about their best friends and family as it is about them.

Today’s Joanna Page: Christmas

There’s a question that is no doubt on everyone’s mind right now: “Where can I see Joanna Page this Christmas?” Fortunately, there’s an answer.

If you’re content to watch tele, she’s on the Gavin & Stacey Christmas special as Stacey (of course), which is currently filming in Barry. Here she is with Matthew Horne, filming a scene.

But, you can see her in panto at London’s New Wimbledon Theatre as well. She’ll be playing Cinderella opposite Gareth Gates; Alistair McGowan’s in it, too.
