In the latest BBC7 newsletter, an announcement has been made that they have commissioned a third series of Dr Syn readings - no word as to whether Rufus will read them again, though (they are repeating the second series over the next two weeks): www.bbc.co.uk/radio7/seasons/newsletter_current.shtml#9Please read the third series, Rufus!!!!If anyone's interested, Disney re-released their 1962 mini-series, called "Dr Syn, Alias the Scarecrow" on DVD last November under the Disney Classics and Disney Treasure collection in November last year. Apart from being in Russell Thorndike's stories, Dr Syn also appears in a long running series of paintings by artist Terry Anthony: www.jayl.demon.co.uk/landofsy.htm (turn your speakers on) |

Thanks, GE2! I'll keep my fingers crossed. I really loved the first two series. I just went to the bbcradio7 webpage, and I'm sure Rufus would be just thrilled that this is the picture they are using to announce the repeat of Dr Syn.  Don't they have anything just a little more recent? |

Yes, you'd think, wouldn't you? Charles II and Petruchio are ever so slightly more recent than that!  |

Look at the reply I got to my request to the BBC: Many thanks for your enquiry. We're happy to be able to tell you that the new series will indeed be narrated by Rufus Sewell.
 YAYYYYYYY!!!!!!! |

That might be an old picture they are using- but damn!- it's a hot one, so I didn't mind seeing it again. What a naughty look.

Hmm. I should re-phrase that. That look gives me naughty thoughts. Yes, that's it.

Now I just have one question: WHEN? ?? Well, the first two were broadcast over Christmas and the New Year, so maybe Rufus will give us a nice Christmas present this year, too?  |

That would be very nice. Like Santa Claus, but sexier. You'd like him in red braces, wouldn't you?
Thanks again for the info!

Is there any way to post the third series of Dr Syn on this site??? I have the first two on my ipod, they are a hoot and so much fun to listed to. I love all of the different voices he does.

and Careful, ruflvr and maz. Santa Rufus knows if you've been good or bad, so be good for goodness' sake! I guess we're all pretty open about our preferences on this board! |
