Dale Winton introduced interviews recorded earlier in the day on the riverside setting before reuniting Paul Shane, Ruth Madoc, Nikki Kelly and of course Su live before the studio audience. The show consisted of clips and anecdotes with all of the assembled thespians having a great rapport with both Dale and each other. Su really enjoyed the day.

A big surprise during the evening for audience and cast was the arrival of Barry Howard, thus bringing together five of the original cast members from the first series.

Audience questions were asked by, among others, SuOnline's Rob Cope, Meron Roberts, and Mike Gattrell. It is not known when the programme will be broadcast but at the moment the production team think it will be one morning during July.

Win a Hi-De-Hi! original cast picture signed, at the Stars Reunited recording, by Ruth Madoc, Paul Shane, Barry Howard, Nikki Kelly and, of course, Su.

'A Happy Medium' tells the tale of Ellen Small - a wee woman from Maryhill with big ideas.  Ellen wants to make contact with her dead sister to fulfill a promise made years ago on the top of Ben Arthur.  Regardless of the feelings of her two daughters Audrey and Gemma, she enlists the help of Mr Proudfoot, a part-time medium from Kilmarnock.  Their combined dabblings in the spirit world produce a chain of hilarious events, unlock hidden powers and family secrets, and ensure that no-one escapes the ‘ghosts’ from the past! 

Further information on this exciting project soon.

Su also reveals that Annie will now be played by Lucy Barker. Lucy appeared as Tessie in the musical's 2002 tour of the UK. Meanwhile, Annie 2003 opens at the Theatre Royal, Lincoln, on 8th September.

Lots more Annie news and updates in the coming months prior to opening.

Su, along with Jenny Jules and Tamara Beckwith, will open in Dartford at the Orchard Theatre, on 9th June. Su will also be appearing at the Swan Theatre, High Wycombe (23rd June), and the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury (30th June).

A short tour for Su, but if you are near these areas, well worth a visit. These will no doubt be memorable performances from Su, Jenny and Tamara.

• Su, and a number of the stars from Hi-De-Hi!, will be gathering together for the first time (on television) in many years this coming Tuesday to record Stars Reunited. This will be broadcast on BBC1 in the near future, though no actual date is available yet.

Rob from SuOnline will be at the recording, so details of what occurs at the nostalgiafest will be posted on this very page soon after the 27th.

• Su was recently asked to appear on I'm A Celebrity ... Shove Me Out Of Here! The concept of the show was to take a bunch of celebs into the skies in a jet and one-by-one they would be pushed out (hopefully while wearing a parachute) after being voted out by viewers. Su and everyone else asked to participate, understandably, declined. 

• The short film Su appeared in earlier this year, Lullabelle, is now showing at various film festivals in the UK.

• Su will be recording her Weakest Link guest spot on 2nd June at Pinewood Studios. No confirmation of when this wil be broadcast. Stay tuned to SuOnline for further information as and when it is made available by the BBC.

• Still no concrete news on the possibility of a DVD release of You Rang, M'Lord? Interesting to note that an On The Buses fansite petitioned for DVD releases of said show, and they managed to persuade the "powers that be" it was a sensible idea. Result - On The Buses is now available on DVD. Still hope for YRM? Please keep emailing communicate@unistudios.com

Hi-De-Hi! - Series 3 & 4 boxed set is scheduled for release this September, once again, by Universal-Playback.

This is almost definite, though is subject to change, so fingers crossed.

Many thanks to Carolyn from the BBC.

Unfortunately, due to schedules, Su will not be appearing in the musical for the week in Cork (w/c 24th November). More info soon.

This is taken from the Alexandra Theatre in Birmingham, where Annie will play in November.

Annie - Starring Su Pollard

Annie is a heart-warming rags to riches story of an 11 year-old orphan who longs for her parents to rescue her from a New York orphanage and its mean tempered matron, Miss Hannigan (Su Pollard). Annie is offered the chance of a lifetime when billionaire businessman (with a heart of gold) Oliver Warbucks decides to adopt her, but not before Miss Hannigan and her brother Rooster scheme to kidnap Annie and claim the reward money.

The classic musical features: 'Tomorrow', 'You're Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile', 'It's A Hard Knock Life' and more.

"The sun doesn't come out tomorrow - it shines all over the stage" - The Stage

"A wonderful show that gives you a huge dose of the feel good factor" - Gloucestershire Echo

Many thanks to Alec Kelly for the brochure.

The recording will be in the early evening of Tuesday 27th May at the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith, London. 

Anybody interested in attending should contact Anthony Carr on 0208 237 1067.

Su is reprising her role as the wicked orphanage owner. The role won her rave reviews and full houses during the musical's 2002 national tour.

A number of UK newspapers came over all nostalgic and ran features on previous winners and the history of the awards. This was the 21st anniversary of this uniquely British event.

Su was featured in 'The Sunday People', 'The Scotsman', and the 'Daily Record'.

'The Scotsman' printed Su's comment from 1988: "I had to lose two stone before I had a bum to be proud of and even then I had to pour myself into my jeans."

The special will be an 80s themed show and as well as Su, Linda Lusardi, Limahl, and a host of others will be in attendance.

This should be an unmissable edition of the quiz. Ice-maiden host, Anne Robinson, is an old chum of Su's so the interaction and atmosphere will be electric to say the least.

Stay tuned for dates - coming soon.

After an incredibly successful run in London The Vagina Monologues is now taking to the road and visiting theatres around the UK. Su will be part of the tour for around four weeks in June.

Islington resident Su Pollard is one of many stars including Lenny Henry, Martin Clunes and Mel and Sue who will be providing the voices for a new BBC2 cartoon. 

Little Robots is based on the children's book by Mike Brownlow and premiered yesterday.

It stars Tiny and his little robot friends, who are pioneers, builders and architects of a brand new world. 

Nottingham born, Islington based actress Su Pollard became a fixture on BBC television in the 1980's. Her forte was comedy, and she appeared in quite a few very successful shows. She first came to prominence in "Hi-De-Hi" in which she played chalet maid Peggy Ollerenshaw from 1980 to 1988. 

After that came to an end she was in "You Rang, M'Lord?" from 1988-92, and "Oh! Doctor Beeching". She is famous for her trademark oversized spectacles and strong accent. 

Away from television, Su regularly appears on stage and had her own one woman show "A Song, A Frock and a Tinkle." She also took the song "Starting Together" to number two in the charts in 1986.

The previously mentioned UK and European dates, pencilled in for Annie later this year, are still going ahead. Further information on these as it becomes available.

Because of the Annie cancellation Su now has the opportunity to finally appear in The Vagina Monologues, a production she had to pull out of last year due, ironically, to commitments to Annie!

Details are still to be finalised, but it looks likely that Su will be appearing in The Vagina Monologues, or Vag Mon as Su calls the show, for around four weeks in June.

As with Annie, more specific information on Vag Mon, dates, ticket info etc. as and when it is confirmed.
