Was Fenchurch in it? She didn't appear by name until SLaTfatF which was set after the prehistoric Earth stuff the TV show ends with. My memory could be failing me though.

e: Oh, apparently she was in episode 2 but doesn't seem to have a credit anywhere. Now I'm curious! :argh:

If that's on IMDB or something it likely means that she wasn't credited in the original and nobody's figured out who she was.

Hustings dates:

quote:

Saturday 18 January Liverpool

Saturday 25 January Durham

Saturday 1 Feb Bristol

Sunday 2 Feb Cardiff

Sunday 9 Feb Birmingham

Saturday 15 Feb Glasgow

Sunday 16 Feb London

It's a much-compressed programme over 2015, which ran for three months, and the first one's this weekend coming. There also seems to be no apparent news on whether any of these will be broadcast anywhere, although we can probably expect streaming at worst.

Starring:

Keir Starmer as Andy Burnham. The early favourite, based on that one poll and with MPs' nominations coming out of his ears. He seems to be taking the lesson "don't tack right" from Burnham in 2015. His offer seems to be the same to everyone - carry on the stuff that appealed in 2017, but clear out Milne and Lansman and their influence, and be less personally vulnerable to being attacked for past associations. It'll be interesting to see how he approaches the hustings; it's often said that the best-placed candiate in a debate needs only to not lose to do well, but then the 2015 campaign shows how three people can all cock it up at the same time by sounding like soundbite-spouting question-avoiding twerps.

Lisa Nandy as Yvette Cooper. She's pretty clearly set out her messaging stall as the Blue Labour we-must-listen-to-the-small-town-bigots candidate. If she can show there's some substance behind it in the hustings, it might go somewhere. Or she could just end up flailing around aimlessly when she gets asked if she'd have Jeremy in the shadow cabinet.

Rebecca Long-Bailey as Jeremy Corbyn (she hopes). Also clearly positioned as the continuity we-did-nuffink-wrong-guv-it-woz-Bozza-and-the-Sun-wot-lost-it-one-more-heave candidate. This is going to be very much a Marmite candidacy, but I think the thread may be over-estimating the wider membership's willingness to die on the hills of uncompromising support for Palestine and uncompromising rejection of anti-semitism allegations. I can see her doing strongly on first preferences but not getting near 50%; she's not Jeremy, and the situation isn't the same as 2015.

Jess Phillips as Liz Kendall. I mean, she's in, but it seems like her messaging lunch has been eaten by Nandy and I'm not entirely sure how she could play this other than "I'm not Jeremy Corbyn". On the one hand, she's been fond of sweary public statements in the last few years and might be thinking of positioning herself as a straight-talking Midlands bruiser who can take it to Boris Johnson over the despatch box, but then on the other she folded up under some very mild pressure on a breakfast show recently.

Emily Thornberry as Bryan Gould. She's got it all to do, which does give her the advantage of flexibility; she could credibly go with any position from "I was Jeremy's shadow foreign secretary" to "let's revive Blairism". She's also discovered a taste for forthright language in the last few years and could be thinking about going that way as well.

It's going to be a very interesting month.

Non-speaking parts don't get an official credit. It's why so many random Comedy Store faces got single-line appearances in The Young Ones (it was almost impossible to get work without an Equity card, and to get one you had to do an unbroken year of theatre work *or* get a single credited appearance on television, something that wasn't at all abused by generations of sexual predators in the business). Paul Merton probably holds the record for "smallest role to get an Equity card", getting a single, three-word line, originally written for Norman Pace, in this scene:

Wait, that couldn't be Sally Emerson, could it? She and Adams were in a relationship at the time, and he based Fenchurch on her when his relationship with his eventual wife was on the rocks.

I'm going to predict that, since every candidate has signed up to these guidelines, Corbyn is going to be kicked out the Labour party by the end of the year.

could be
but on the other hand, he’s bound to quit as an MP once the leadership election is done to spend more time with his allotment (i.e. make way for another leftie in the new generation to carry the torch) and wouldn’t for a second consider accepting elevation to the Lords even if one was offered. so would anyone bother targeting him? rather than turn their attention to people actually running the party?

I started checking other actresses in the series and was going to guess Susie Silvey (mind they used a bunch of Benny Hill girls so googling is NSFW) But Sally Emerson looks way more probable.

Oh I don't think he'll quit, he'll definitely just step down next election.
