O Alan Where Art Thou
So, we still haven't quite found him, but Alan's whereabouts seem closer... and I'm going to stop looking for a couple of days while I recuperate. Three astonishing days of graft on location put in by you all plus all your prep - and great pictures to show for it. Dens of iniquity, grim rainy wastelands, nights of aliens and drunken debauchery... (and not all of it from yesterday). And the best part is - there's more to do! So THANK YOU again to all of you including last minute draftees. Stay tuned.

Great British Weather
Doesn't matter how many times I refresh the page from the BBC weather site, Sunday's heavy rain just isn't shifting. Don't the raingods know how to respond to this interwebby thing? Wishing we'd cast ducks instead. Outlook: glum.

Icing on cake - or at least, turning on the oven...
The unstoppable juggernaut got held up by gastric flu. Apparently we can't insure against wet weather. Gales and rain forecast for Sunday.
On the plus side, we've got the people, the gear and the goddammitwe'vegotthisfar-ness we need, and hey, who here hasn't spent 12 hours in the rain on location in Britain? (Someone remind me - why do we do this, again?)
On Thursday the schedule gets a final going over and Friday the call sheets get issued. That's the theory anyway. And if anyone's actually reading this, see you soon!

So Where The Bloody Hell Is Alan?
So after dancing some location jigs we're baby steps away from having the whole shebang under way. Details really like where to put the winnebagos and stocking up on Perrier and caviar, and did anyone remember to bring the camera.... I'm away for a few days but from Tuesday next week the unstoppable juggernaut lurches into action.
Yikes.
Pills, anyone?

Harry on Hand to Help
If you haven't already, then you'll soon start speaking to Harry, the logistics dynamo who's come to help with all things preparation (thank goodness).
Cast Complete
We're now fully cast, thanks to everyone who's agreed to play. A new draft (Draft 9) with some minor line and stage direction alterations - highlighted - will be circulated today. Promise no more changes now unless the rehearsal throws something up on Saturday 24th.

Crew Updates
A big thanks to all crew now helping; a huge relief to have you on board. Still a couple of positions to fill but talking to people about some of these now, so we're on track.
