Seeing Stars

It isn't everyday that we here at SARAH-JANE.tv come across an SJA event as genuinely exciting as Utopia! In the past, we've reported for signings featuring one, two or even three guests from The Sarah Jane Adventures.

But FIVE?! That's definitely a first.

The last time we mentioned Utopia, the guest list stood at Joseph Millson [Alan Jackson], Juliet Cowan [Chrissie Jackson], Christopher Pizzey [Eddie Smith] and Rosanna Levelle [Barbara Smith]. If that wasn't reason enought to go, SJA composer Sam Watts has agreed to make his convention debut by also throwing his hat into the ring! His appearance will follow hot on the heels of the Music from Outer Space concert in Liverpool last month, where he had the oppurtunity to premiere his SJA compositions to a live audience.

With just a month till the June 6th convention date, and only a handful of tickets remaining - this is one signing that cannot to be missed. As the official Utopia website itself proclaims, buy now to avoid disappointment!

Incidentally, if the £40 entry fee isn't for you - an informal Tommy Knight [Luke Smith] signing will be taking place in Stansted on the same day! Reiterating what we wrote in March, half the money raised by Tommy will go toward benefitting the school that invited him, whilst the other half will be donated to his favoured charity, the Demelza House Children's Hospice. Organiser, Trisha Broszek, was kind enough to pass on some details:

"Tommy will be signing/photographs from 3 to 3:45 and then 4:15 to 5 although he should be arriving around 2ish. He will be supplying his official photos for autographing as well as photos which will be taken on the day. When printed he will sign them and then they will be posted to the person on the pic, i think that will be popular."

For more information on the venue and event, here's a copy of the flyer.

In other news, Tommy Knight's mum and sisters will be taking part in the Race for Life on 17th May, 2009. A UK-wide women-only event, money raised through Race for Life marathons are vital in funding Cancer Research UK’s life-saving work into preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer. Please dig deep and help Sandy Knight reach her £170 target! We've sponsered her, why don't you?

Re The Race for Life Info. A huge Thanks to Nabu and SJA Blog for letting people know, and to anyone who may offer support.

One of the faces on the pic on the page is of Idris. During filming of series 2 of SJA, Idris, one of the organisers and caretakers of all those 'FATTS' wagons you see, was diagnosed with Cancer. Bless him he turned up for work for many days after diagnosis, about 3 weeks in total if memory serves me correctly. 2 weeks after I last saw him, he passed away, still during the filming. (a shocking total of about 5-6 weeks) It was the biggest shock to all of us, as he had been with us since the pilot, and always, even towards the end, with that lovely smile you see in the photo. He will be missed by us all, and I am running in his memory this year. Sandy x

What a noble reason for taking part! My deepest condolences for your friend.

I think everyone knows atleast one person who's been affected by cancer. My dad got diagonosed with it four years ago last March. And it's thanks to the work Cancer Research do that he's still alive and just as active today, and will be for a while if he has anything to say about it(!) :D

I personally think every pound raised for the cause does make a difference, 'cause it's one pound closer to stamping out this rotten disease for good.
