Notes from a Stylist is trying to find the BBC

Posted: June 5, 2010 - It's at times likes these - you know, Gulf oil spill still spewing on day 40 whatever, conspiracy theory roving around about oil spills on the Bronx River parkway being related ( no really, I got that from a TV camera guy who swears the world is imploding and no-one is telling us) World Cup and the Gaza crisis upon us.... Anyways, it's at times like these that one needs a safe pair of hands to turn to - that's right, the good old BBC. No biased opinion, no bung in the back pocket from oil men to foil the story - so how is it that when you are in the good old U S of A, that you can't find any sane news apart from weather or baseball. Oh how I yearn for a bit of bolshy Paxman and the diminutive Jeremy Bowen dodging bullets in Israel still managing to look suave whether it's a mustache kind of a day or a clean shaven kind of a day. Whatever the crisis, at home, we were assured of real news on the hour at a channel number that was in single figures and not hard to find. Flitting through channels aimlessly this evening I've stumbled upon BBC World News in the top end of the 100 channels. I thought I had a fix on it for a moment until my remote weary finger slipped and instead of hitting select for channel 104 and the safety of the BBC, I was thrust into Lusty Lovely Lawyers - which appears to be a torrid office affair for adults. In fact if you linger around the early 100's on cable that's about all you do get - so how are us sane news starved Brits to survive? Short of harking back to my old Hewlett Packard laptop that still seems to be vaguely configured to the UK and can somehow catch Capital Radio, my new (USA) iMac resolutely refuses to pick up any Blighty related channels - thank the lord then for Big Apple Brits - a tiny slice of home with radio, networking and a Brit Fest to boot. With 80f+ forecast for the next few weeks I think I'll settle for Stateside and World Cup viewing from here rather than Gary Lineker and WAGtastic goings on at home....

Vanity Fair Eastenders Party Big Apple Brits

Article in Vanity Fair by James Walcott on Big Apple Brits-Eastenders 25th Anniversary Party in New York City.

Eastenders 25th Anniversary Party by Big Apple Brits in New York City - THE premier social community for British Expats, Anglophiles,Britophiles and lovers of Brit culture in New York City, USA - http://www.bigapplebrits.com

________________________________________________

Gritty Brits and Britty Grits by James Walcott - Vanity Fair

Dot. Sharon. Lofty. Arfur. Pauline. Den & Angie. Grant and Phil. Pat and Frank.

If these names stir your wind chimes, then you must be a fan of EastEnders, the gritty, spotty-faced British soap opera where everyone's got something dodgy going on and the characters spit dialogue such as, "He needs to sort himself out" and "He needs sorting out, that one does" and "You need to sort yourself out, before somebody does it for you."

"Personally," writes Michael Bywater in a very entertaining essay on The Meaning of EastEnders, I'd give it top marks just for introducing a new and universally appropriate greeting whenever one resident opens the front door to another: 'What YOU want?'"

In honor of the show's 25th anniversary (my, how time flaps like a sooty bird), there's a Big Apple Brits party this Saturday the 13th at the Grisly Pear on Macdougald Street that begins at 5 pm and will continue until everybody is properly sorted out. For all the details, click this link.

The anniversary party also serves as the book launch for Larry Jaffee's Albert Square & Me: The Actors of EastEnders, a collection of interviews with cast members past and present. The publisher of Walford Gazette, Jaffee is the best friend on this side of the Atlantic that EastEnders has ever had, a tireless evangelist for the show fighting for its availability on public television and cable despite setback after setback. (I've never forgiven BBC America for dumping new episodes of EastEnders for a nonstop rotation of antiques and makeover programs.) Albert Square & Me is also available on Amazon.

Did I ever tell about the time I attended a luncheon for June Brown, the actress who plays Dot? Turns out she had a small role in Straw Dogs that ended up on the cutting-room floor. Now as fascinated as I was to hear about EastEnders backstage baseball, getting the inside dope on Sam Peckinpah's sorting everybody out on the set of Straw Dogs--well, to me that's the stuff of "movie magic." Because of that I probably monopolized June Brown at that long-ago luncheon, but who cares, the restaurant where we met is now a bank and the colors of memory have run and mingled and faded. Time's winged chariot is stuck in a snowbank and so I must take the subway instead down to Soho House, where I have a lunch date.
