"SINCE leaving Corrie actress Sally Lindsay has taken on Shakespeare, played Marilyn Monroe, presented on This Morning and even bagged herself a role in the new Wallace And Gromit film.

Earlier this year Sally even got to do something most actors would sell their granny for — provide the voice for a Wallace And Gromit character.

“That was unbelievable,” she gushed.

“I get to see the finished version this week. I'll be only the third person to see it — they're bringing the DVD to my agent by police escort! I play Piella Bakewell, who is hilarious.

“Wallace And Gromit creator Nick Park actually heard me on Mark Radcliffe's radio show when he was driving back to Bristol from a meeting in London and said ‘that’s Piella’s voice’. He'd been searching for someone for six months but just hadn't heard her yet.

“He didn't even know I was an actress or that I could do it — he went home and Googled me! But he's brilliant, one of the best people I've ever worked with.”



POLICE escorted dvd thats the funniest/coolest thing ive heard lol!

thankyou for the information jordan.

Yeah, thanks!

Actually, Jordan, I had a nostalgic chuckle at the news item...

Police escorts for videos, DVDs etc are nothing new.

I remember in 1980 when the American TV soap, Dallas, had the whole world in a frenzy with "Who Shot JR?" Bets were taken on who did the dirty deed at betting shops up and down the country. Saint Terry of Wogan (BBC Radio 2's top broadcaster) was blowing the bellows of speculation. Then, on the BBC 9 O'Clock News, reporters and cameramen filmed the carefully sealed video tapes - with the Dallas episode that was to reveal whodiddit? - arrive at Heathrow Airport and they were given a police escort to the BBC! Janey Mack!



It's the old cliche of 'history repeating itself' but, in today's world, we can't afford to have the surprise ruined by no-marks who'll post it on the 'net before the official broadcast of AMOLAD at Christmas.
