An Evening With Julie Andrews...

Last Friday night Stuart, Fay and I went to the Eventim Apollo in glitzy Hammersmith to see An Evening With Julie Andrews.

It was utterly brilliant! She was charming, funny and saucy.

The first half was Dame Julie reliving moments, showing film clips from many, many films and telling stories about early early life and career.

The second half was a Q&A with Aled Jones including more film clips.

It was the show the O2 one should have been.

Julie Madly Deeply...

Last week Stuart I went to see Julie Madly Deeply - Sarah-Louise Young's affectionate tribute to Dame Julie Andrews at the Trafalgar Studios in London's glitzy West End.

We were speechless. It was a great show. Childhood, teenage years, Broadway, My Fair Lady, West End, Poppins... And that was only the first half!

Then in the second half we had: The Sound Of Music, Blake Edwards, media hounding, SOB tits out, Carol Burnett TV specials, nodules, throat operation, O2 concert and then a singalong.

A real love letter from a talented singing uber-fan. Go see!

YouTube Time Machine (YTTM)...

Give it a year and it'll give you videos from that year, covering 1860 to date. That's your day buggered. Check out the marvellous YouTube Time Machine.

Here's one from 1961. The banned Flintstones smoking commercial:


Or from 1977, Julie Andrews singing Lonely Goatherd on The Muppet Show:
