Blow Them At The Moon...

Soooo, fellow fans of the original "Queer As Folk" - I have prezzies for you!!! :) :) :)

I know a number of us have speculated, written stories and wondered for years over the possibilities of just what happened after QAF2 - "All the stories are true," right? Welllll, I have the goods on what the "official" line would have been if the series "The Misfits" would have been produced. The show was meant to be an off-shoot of QAF, focusing on Hazel and Alexander - with cameos by folks from QAF, such as Vince.

Vince? Oh yes, Vince... Why's that important? Because we would have gotten to find out things about his character that we never would have guessed at while watching QAF. And we would have seen how his adventures with Stuart after QAF shaped him into a rather complex character. A dangerous mystery. Sound intriguing?

Want to know more about what happened to Stuart and Vince? What cities they traveled to? Want to know how Vince earned money after QAF - a LOT of it apparently? These and other tidbits are now gifted to us in the book "T Is For Television: The Small Screen Adventures of Russell T Davies". (The authors of the book used the Misfit scripts as sources for the information given, btw.)

If you are a QAF fan - have a look-see:

Digital Spy has put up a video of Craig's character "Luke" making a big announcement. What's fantastic - besides getting to see more of Craig in the role (grrrr, UK blockage of video playback to non-UK countries) - is that this is the REUNION we "Queer As Folk" fans were hoping to see!

Well.... One of them anyway...lol.

Click below and you will see Craig Kelly and Anthony Cotton in the same scene! :) Yey!!!

What is your reaction???

(Two fictional someone's are rolling in their non-existent graves....lol.)

(PS - expect the casting spoiler to be discussed in the comments to the post....)

Soooo round about 1998 - yes the year BEFORE QAF - Craig was playing a Villain Protestant Minister (hehe) in a BBC production of "Children of the New Forest".



And since I just made these caps a few days back, I thought I'd share them in honor of last Tuesday's 10 yr Anniversary of our favorite show from Manchester - "Queer As Folk". (I'm aware they are not related...lol - but that one line in this movie where he reads from the Bible with gritted teeth about the "Whore of Babylon" has me laughing EVERY TIME when I think of what his next project was....snicker.)



For expediency's sake - I'm encouraging everyone to check out the folder featuring the new 50+ screencaps of Craig in period baddie garb (think Pilgrim with a scowl) here:

Blogger Chig is doing a week long look back at Queer As Folk, in celebration of the 10th Anniversary (TODAY!!!) of the original airing in the UK.

http://chig.blogspot.com/

I encourage you all to go have a read - he's reposted his Gay Times cover story from 10 year ago - added in with tidbits from behind the scenes as he attending the filming!

He's got great plans to share more goodies as the week progresses - so remember - check back!!!

"Coming later this week:

Why QAF was responsible for Chig never drinking a certain brand of lager ever again.
Who was responsible for Chig being told off on set.
The strange story of the Nivea hand creme (or was it)?
How QAF led to Chig being treated to a meal by the Daily Mail. (Yikes!)
How QAF saw Chig get a boyfriend. Yes, really! Chig has had a boyfriend!
The wild QAF party which led to naughties in a London hotel, on a train and in Chig's house with a member of the QAF cast. On second thoughts, we'll leave that bit out."

As I was reminded while reading this blog entry at "World of Chig" - about Craig's new role on Corrie St:

Soooo, S/V fans and QAF fans alike - if you are STILL out there...lol - why not give us a hello and share what the show and the characters have meant to you!
