BLU-RAY and HD DVD NEWS
New recruit Graves has been giving our
Incoming
listings for Blu-ray and HD DVD a thorough (and long overdue)
overhaul. It's an area we've neglected somewhat, but the recent updates
have brought everything up to date. I'd even go so far to say that our
listings, particularly for Blu-ray, are now virtually definitive.
You'll find listings of forthcoming Blu-ray
titles
here, and forthcoming HD DVD titles
here. You can also search for catalogue titles from the main
Incoming
page.
Everyone knows that
Play.com have a buy-two-get-one-free offer on Blu-ray titles at the
moment, right?
AUDIOBOOKS NEWS
BBC
Audiobooks has announced details of their version of John Barrowman's
autobiography, Anything Goes. Here's the press release, and a link
to a clip...
An abridged reading of the autobiography of John Barrowman,
star of Doctor Who and its spin-off series Torchwood, judge on BBC1's
top-rating talent shows How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria? and Any
Dream Will Do, and all-round star of stage and screen. It is the life
story of one of show business's best-loved figures.
Anything Goes traces John's life from his Glaswegian
childhood and American adolescence, this no-holds-barred insight into the
career of a multi-talented star includes his first big break (when he
triumphed in an Anything Goes open casting to star opposite theatre legend
Elaine Paige), his unmatched West End achievement, his move into American
primetime television, his success in films such as De-Lovely and
The Producers: and his current mainstream appeal as the hottest talent
on the BBC.
Anything Goes, read by John Barrowman, was written
in collaboration with his sister Carole E. Barrowman.
