'Most successful commissioned series in Sky Living's history'. Blimey. http://t.co/3nPFcNf #bed

The statement continued: "Like every commercial TV channel, Sky Living is constantly developing new ideas. We recognise our customers' appetite for paranormal programming and have recently aired a series about popular psychic Sally Morgan and original scripted drama Bedlam, which proved to be the channel's most successful commissioned series in its history.

Thanks sunday - I haven't bought Star mag for yonks :lol:

Really looking forward to this. :dance:

BBC RobBrydonBBC Rob Brydon Show

This Friday is one of our favourite shows of the series. @RealDameEdna and @will_young31 enjoy some excellent banter.

If the news is about Bedlam, it looks pretty likely that it is, surely your prediction Bev that most of the actors are already tied up with other things, will push the series to be recorded at a later date when Will would be able to fit it in to his busy schedule :dance: im going to sulk if Wills not in it too :rolleyes: :wacko:

fingers crossed

Thanks Sunday about Star mag will pick one up thurs

I've not thought much about Bedlam I admit since he said he wouldn't be able to do another series, but I hope it comes back still.

 

I picked up a copy of the Star mag while I was out. Big cardi pic across one page (same as Attitude / Itunes) and nice interview.

 

Headline: "I realise I used to behave like a dick!" The popstar on sexiness, single life and the splits.

 

It seems to have been done on the day he was signing the '3,500' albums. Oh and he says he had to wear a box for the video! ;)

EQ Album Review - "Echoes" by Will Young

 

 

by Marc Ridley

 

New Will Young albums don't appear very often, but when they do, his steady onslaught of promising pop has ensured his reputation as a reliable entertainment mainstay which keeps the pop world steadily turning.

 

Young's new album, "Echoes" is out on Monday and is his latest since 2008's "Let It Go", which spawned the well received yet not exactly well sold singles "Changes", and that one of the Natwest ads.

 

EQ has been given an advanced preview of the album, featuring six tracks and the lead single "Jealousy" (video below), which you may have already heard. As a whole, "Echoes" has a definite tone of its own, and leaves behind the more mainstream, soul feel of its predecessor. Its brilliance is unusual and understated, yet the subtle electronic and pop threads running throughout the thirteen tracks ensure ear deserves a place in the nation's ears.

 

If you haven't heard it yet, "Jealousy" is the first track on the album and is soft and minimal, with Young sporting a quietly vulnerable voice. Bursting into a more expansive sound, the toned-down style of the track is joined by a reliable and familiar electro beat. The chorus is uplifting but somewhat subtle and mature; there's no over-the-top pop here.

Thanks Phil.

 

Quite a few seem to have given a general glowing review of the album & a more in depth review of Jealousy.

EQ Album Review - "Echoes" by Will Young

 

Thanks phil, I'd call that a solid but promising review! Sounds like it's based on the sampler.

Sorry if this as been posted already..can't keep up

 

Will Young: 'I don't worry about saying 'he' in a song'

 

Having recently spoken candidly about becoming comfortable with his sexuality, Will Young says this is also reflected in his songwriting, and he doesn't shy from including male references in his love songs.

 

Speaking to Orange Music Store, the singer, who releases his comeback single 'Jealousy' on Sunday (21 August), said that a more tolerant society helped persuade him to embrace his sexuality within his songwriting: "I think that times are very different from 10 years ago. I don't worry about saying 'he' in a song" Will told us in an exclusive interview, "I would never, and have never, pretended to be anything other than who I am. I think your patronising and lying to your audience if you are.

 

"At the same time if I'm singing a cover, I don't mind singing about she. I think its a really good sign that as a popstar I can be open."

 

The 32-year-old also admitted that he won't be moving away from writing his trademark love songs in the near future: "I've written about heartache over the years and I will continue to. When my heart is blooming and there is loads of joy in my life and I'm in a relationship and I'm getting that from a friend or something then I would write about it"
