Pat sent me the beginning of an article she got from the ebay auction. She didn’t have the magazine or date it came from though but it’s a cool writeup on the Serpent’s Kiss with a nice pic of James Fitzmaurice. If you can’t read it let me know and I’ll re-type it if I can find the time.

Nikki tells us that the video of The Christmas Carol can be bought NOW from any shop that sells videos in the UK. She also found this quirky little piece:

STARS DRAW ON STORE OF TALENT TO SAVE RED SQUIRREL (14/9/00)

Celebrities including Sir Paul McCartney, the Duchess of York and Sir Michael Caine have been showing off their artistic flair in aid of the endangered red squirrel.

More than 200 stars agreed to take part in a “scribble a squirrel” competition to raise awareness of the plight of the mammal, which could become extinct in England in the next decade. The pictures range in quality with some stars clearly more artistic than others.

Sir Paul’s effort is in proportion and gently shaded. But Sir Michael Caine’s line drawing is less accomplished, a fact he readily acknowledged, saying: “Good job I’m an actor.”
The pictures are to be auctioned on the Internet during Red Squirrel Week.

The auction will run for two weeks and will raise money for the North East Wildlife Trust and The Calvert Trust, charities which both work to raise awareness of the dangers facing the red squirrel in England.

Others whose pictures will be auctioned include Phil Collins, Sir Elton John, Barry Manilow, Sir Norman Wisdom, Richard E Grant, Rolf Harris, Sir Richard Branson and the Duchess of York.

Anyone know where the website is?
