It's understandable that SM and MB are the ones doing the press. Sophia in particular is a big drawcard and will bring in younger viewers. They want to use that to their advantage and I'm sure PF and RA are happy to pass on the press duties. RA did some work for them during his press tour for Strike Back anyway and may be unavailable right now.

Yes, it's a good thing as I've not seen the TV advert shown again, since it's first outing on Monday and I have been looking every evening.

Richard Armitage was on Loraine this morning, not something I usually watch, and the interview was just becoming interesting about the new series when the female doing the interview interrupted with some silly talk, that's all I can call it! RA was beginning to talk about the fact that the producers want to get more into the complexities of working for MI5 and the personal cost it has on individuals. He was then shoved into a kitchen to watch something being cooked!!

Grief, they must really hate appearing on these programmes!

Reminder for BBC1 Breakfast show tomorrow morning and Saturday Kitchen which follows it. SM is supposed to appear.

Depends. I hated them but the Hubby LOVES them but I think that's because you can usually get some free food out of it. Wink

Maybe a goody bag. Cool

I only did them on a very small local morning shows scale, not on a national scale (and in the US) but the format isn't much different. I wonder if it is possible to get the requirement to do them written out of one's contract?

Which leads me to another thought cued from a few posts back. It seems to me that PF has not had to do much promotion of this type for S9. I wonder if he has the longevity and pull to only have to do on set interviews? I will never know, but I wonder. Anyone who has access to a standard BBC/Kudos actor contract, please PM me. Big Grin

Maybe he said, after that infamous Fern Britton interview on "This Morning" in 2007, that if you EVER make me go on one of these crazy chat shows again, I will quit and go sail my boat around the Med for the next twenty years !!

Then again, maybe his South Riding contract won't let him out for the day. Yorkshire is about 1000 miles from London A Cousin, and he would probably need to get a tram, two planes, a donkey and a paddle steamer, to get back to London town Wink

You forgot to add "...with all of the lovely ladies from the Spooks Forum." Boy, would he have his hands full! Big Grin

It is a pity PF isn't on SOMETHING. We don't see much Spooks-related stuff over here in Oz, but PF was terrific in a "Top Gear" segment (along with Rupert P-J). They were very funny. More PF!!

Here's the link to watch the RA interview on Lorraine. Be warned, I only stuck it for a minute before wanting to throw a shoe at Myleen Klass. There is also a clip from 9.1, so beware spoilers.
