I must be losing my mind. Again. LOL. I thought I posted this but I can't find it. Anyway.... As you might already know they put together a book based on the scripts of Rev which is available on Amazon as well as other places: www.amazon.com/Rev-Diaries-Reverend-Adam-Smallbone-ebook/dp/B00FJNKUTE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404265215&sr=8-1&keywords=the+rev+diariesBut the BIG news is that Tom told me that he will be reading the audiobook version of the book in the autumn. YAY! More of his wonderful voice for us to listen to. I will keep you updated as I hear more on the release date. I am guessing maybe by Christmas. If they are smart they will release in time for the holidays but who knows!

Once I was shopping at our Costco and saw a guy that looked so much like Tom it gave me chills. This was quite awhile ago in between the two times I have met with and talked to him. It was so freaky I secretly followed him around to get a better look. At one point he was over in the pharmacy area with a woman and they were speaking another language. Hey, maybe it is Rie's italian guy who was visiting? LOL.

I do hope everyone who is able is watching Rev, series 3. It is absolutely brilliant. Just a reminder that the DVD is going to be released on May 5. I am looking forward to the bonus features and hope that there will be some commentary.

My good friend journalist Ian Wylie was at the preview screening of 'A Poet in New York' earlier this week. Here is his blog about it including interviews with the cast: lifeofwylie.com/2014/03/12/a-poet-in-new-york-tom-hollander/I've heard lots of good things about this but of course we are never surprised when it comes to how good Tom's performances are!

And we have a date now! Mark your calendars. Rev 3 starts March 24.www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/2/9e40b548-9eef-11e3-a48e-00144feab7de.htmlThe List: Favourite religious figures of the ‘Rev’As told to India Ross Rev, the TV comedy about the trials of an inner-city vicar, returns to the airwaves for a third season later this month. Here, Tom Hollander, the actor who co-created the series and plays the downtrodden Rev Adam Smallbone, reveals some of his favourite religious figures, real and fictional. 1. The nun on the stairs In Paolo Sorrentino’s Oscar-nominated The Great Beauty (2013) an old nun turns up, and she’s hilarious because she manages to combine the ridiculous with something that makes you half-believe there is something miraculous about her. When she [prostrates herself to] crawl up the steps, you’re waiting for her to be exposed as some sort of fraud but you’re never quite sure. 2. The saint on the pillar I like the figure of St Simeon Stylites, who lived on a pillar for 30 years in early Christian times. He was a hermit of some sort, but people kept coming to him for advice – so, to get away from them, he lived on a pillar and used to stand all day to dedicate himself to God. He must have inspired Simon the Holy Man in [Monty Python’s] The Life of Brian, who lives in a hole and says about the juniper bushes, “They’re all I’ve bloody got to eat, clear off!” 3. The writer on religion Karen Armstrong is a former nun who writes about religion and comparative religion, and she talks about religion in the most brilliant, modern way. She manages to remove the off-putting aspects of patriarchy and hierarchy from the way she thinks about it. She’s a great person; I’ve listened to her talking and thought, “Ooh that sounds marvellous, everyone would like that.” 4. The philanthropist in the country There’s another nun, Sister Frances Dominica, who set up and runs a charity called Helen & Douglas House, which is a hospice for children. It’s within the grounds of the priory where she lives in east Oxford, and it’s a place full of light, hope, colour and laughter, and that’s remarkable. I’ve worked with them a bit, so I’ve met her now a few times. She’s an amazing woman. 5. The scoundrel on the stage I like Molière’s Tartuffe, a character I played years ago. He is a complete scoundrel who pretends to be religious and, in the name of piety, rips everyone off and tries to have sex with everyone. I suppose he is here as a representative of all those glorious, villainous religious people – you can’t think of the history of religion without thinking of those who have used it to mask their dark, devilish motives. ‘Rev’ returns to BBC2 for a third series at 10pm, Monday March 24

Great news! The Voorman Problem is now available on iTunes. Go get it. It is only $2.99 and I assure you it is worth every penny.

Euhmm.. After i had a look to the voice session in the site web i didn't find where i can listen to them .. As my english's not perfect i maybe missed something in the explanation? Is that free ? Sorry for the confusion. Thomagination page is merely a listing of all his work. His audio books are available either on Amazon or Audible.com in most cases. A few might be hard to find though. Deb x
