::hates living in America and missing all this:: I am sorry to hear you say that. :'(We are lucky to live here for lots of reasons. Besides… you *will* get to see it. It will either be on TV at some point or you will be able to rent it through Netflix or get it from Amazon. Just like Cambridge Spies, Lost Prince, Wives & Daughters and lots of others.

The Press Pack popped into my RSS this afternoon. Is there anything new in here? Thanks PE. I got that too but was in a rush this morning and didn't see it before you did! Thank you for being so reliable and on top of news! We now have a date of July 7th! That was a really long article. Sadly no images of our Tommy though. But we KNOW he will surely steal the show. I am still reading Ruskin's biography which is as excellent as it is long. Research you know.

you had me worried for a minute.........it's the website that goes live on 7th July. They BFI screening is on 14th so my guess is it will air that night or very soon afterwards. They rarely have tv screenings @ BFI as long as a week after it's aired on telly. It's supposed to create word of mouth (though looking at the seat sales, it's not going to do much of that).

You know I wondered about that...why they would have the BFI thing BEFORE the actual show. It also explains why it is not in the guide on RadioTimes yet. Thanks for clearing that up. At any rate I am ready when it DOES come on with my iPlayer. hehe. xx P.S. Watch this space: www.bbc.co.uk/desperateromantics/Here is the little promo that I captured this morning. It will be available for 7 days: Click! Sadly it does not show any Tom (at least that *I* can see) but it will give a feel for what is coming in a couple of weeks!

I am pretty sure it will be aired on or around the 14th now. I have picked up the Radio Times which covers 4th to 10th July & it has a small flash saying 'meet the actors who became desperate romantics, next week' so I'll be on the case. The magazine is on the shelves on Tuesday mornings usually.

hmmmm - well, I have the new Radio Times & there is no mention of Desperate Romantics, despite a little teaser in last week's issue. I guess they moved the air date.

I have been looking online and zooming ahead each day but nothing so far. Damn. The website is not live yet either and that was supposed to be today I think. They must know this is torture for us.

Well I hope they do more than *that* because *that* has been up for about a week. I actually went there the day it was announced on the Press Pack and nothing has changed. I even captured that little video about zooming in to the paintings.

oh, I'm sorry. I didn't bother to check until today. They say they'll have all sorts of stuff so we just have to hope. BBC microsites can be wonderful.......but not always.

We have a date and time! Whoo hoo! Desperate Romantics Tuesday 21 July 9:00pm - 10:00pm BBC2 RadioTimes (You may have to change the date to see it since it defaults to the current day.)
