  Television /Media Activities
 

Our new  series 'Facing the Music' initially transmits on BBC2 and then is repeated on BBC1 at a later date. The series runs from Dec 04 to May 05. We teach a member of the public (no wannabes!)  to sing in six days and at the end of the six days they do a surprise performance for someone they love. They may be singing to say 'thank you,'  'sorry,'  'goodbye,' etc and it could be to a friend, relative, partner or group of people. Every day we give them vocal coaching in the morning and a 'Task' in the afternoon. The tasks are all geared towards helping that final performance. Some are funny and some are downright scary! It’s been an amazing programme to work on so far and a real privilege to be nominated for the Royal Television Award on our first series.

David & Carrie are broadening their activities in the media and recent tv appearances include David on 'Celebrity Mastermind', 'Test The Nation' 'Daily Politics' and 'FlashMob-The Opera' with Carrie featured in her series 'The Agents' as well as 'The Wright Stuff' 'Breakfast Time' 'Strictly Come Dancing – It Takes Two'  'Richard and Judy' and together on 'Celebrity Weakest Link.'

'Can’t Sing Singers' (a new series on BBC 1) is currently running early on Saturday evenings. The programme focuses on the country’s worst singers and everyone has been asking us if they can be in the next series. How come so many people are convinced they can’t sing?

Keep a look out over Chrismas for The Graham Norton Sound of Music Special where I (Carrie) play a nun! It’s hilarious. I got to sing with June Whitfield, Gloria Hunniford, Linda Robson, Lesley Garrett, Fearne Cotton, Bonnie Langford and Dick and Dom.

Also BBC3 triumph 'Flashmob' should be coming to terrestrial over the next couple of months. Basically it’s a live musical that takes place in Paddington Station with all the trains going in and out of the station and commuters going about their usual business. David plays a smooth-singing angel. Compulsive viewing!

Chistmas Eve sees us taking part for the second year running in The Eastenders Christmas Special. We had another fantastic day with the cast down in Walford. It’s amazing standing there in the middle of TV’s most famous Square, we were like children in a sweetshop! Also met McFly, who were great lads and forgave us for not knowing the McFly question on Celebrity Weakest Link. Anne Robinson was so scary we just couldn’t think!

We also make regular appearances on The Wright Stuff on Channel 5.

Early next year sees the return of Comic Relief does Fame Academy. Very exciting stuff and should be set for a few laughs. Not sure as yet who our victims, sorry, students will be. Watch this space.
