Peter Davison at Gallifrey One 2011

20 August 2010

Peter Davison (Georgia's Father and, of course, the Fifth Doctor) has confirmed that he will be attending next years's Gallifrey One North American Doctor Who Convention : Catch 22 - Islands of Mystery.

Peter was booked for this year's convention, but had to pull out due to other commitments - he was appearing in the hit musical "Legally Blonde - The Musical" at the Savoy Theatre in London - however promised to attend the next year's convention. True to his word (and his hilarious video message to fans last year) he is booked as the top guest for the Catch 22 Convention.

The convention is being held at the Los Angeles Airport Marriott Hotel again this time and the dates of the convention are: Friday 18th to Sunday 20th February 2011.

Sandra Dickinson in Wales Online

20 August 2010

Sandra Dickinson - Georgia's Mother - was interviewed on 13th August 20-10 by Wales Online. In the interview - entitled: ‘I love being a cougar’ - she speaks briefly about Georgia's acting career and that her grandson - Georgia's son Ty - is attending her Drama School and following in the family footsteps.

Now her own daughter with Peter Davison, Georgia Moffett, is following in her parents’ footsteps by launching an acting career. The 25-year-old has appeared in a number of dramas – including an episode of Doctor Who two years ago – when she met her boyfriend, David Tennant.

Georgia has an eight-year-old-son, Ty, from a previous relationship and Dickinson is clearly a doting grandmother.

“He is very long limbed and blond – he really is handsome,” she says.

It seems as though another generation of the family has developed the acting bug as Ty goes to the drama school that Dickinson and her husband run in Shepperton, Surrey.

White Van Man Filming

27 July 2010

The Stockport Citizen reports that filming for White Van Man - the comedy starring Will Mellor and Georgia is filming in and around Cheadle.

The piece is primarily about Will Mellor (who hails from Stockport) and doesn't mention Georgia, however the article mentions eight other cast members, of which Georgia should be one.

The original article was written by Louise Kelly and was published on 26th July 2010.

The newspaper reports:

A BBC comedy drama was filmed at a betting shop in Cheadle. The series called ‘White Van Man’ stars Will Mellor, who is from Stockport and has appeared in Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps and Hollyoaks.

Filming started at 7am on Monday morning at Best Bet Bookmakers at Old Rectory Gardens parallel to Wilmslow Road, Cheadle and lasted all day. Lorries and vans carrying filming equipment and props took over the Old Rectory Gardens, causing passersby to stop and ask what was happening. The series is being produced by ITV Studios but will be shown on BBC 3 in January 2011.

The production team, lead by producer Rohan Acharya, have been using suburban locations throughout the Stockport and Manchester area to create a fictional village for the show. Will said: “I’m from Stockport so it’s nice to be back home and filming up north. I can get my family out to have a look at what’s going on so it’s nice. I’ve been looking forward to this show since last year when it was commissioned.”

Eight cast members and 10 background artists were at the betting shop location in Cheadle ready to start filming. The crew have been filming for three weeks and have got another three weeks left.

During a torrential downpour the four girls are forced to stay in each other’s company in a three star hotel in the centre of Paris, where secrets and antagonisms begin to unravel.  Friendships are threatened and new alliances are formed.

Bridezilla, Leila (Georgia), has come to Paris for her hen do. She wants girlie chats, good food and civilisation. Selina, sister to the groom, doesn’t want to be there, she wants the weekend to blur into a mist of alcohol. Mariam’s come along for the ride and she’s ready to have wild fun. Yasmin wants to rebuild old friendships but it’s not turning out as easy as she thought. Will the hen do get back on track?
