More Information About the '79 CDS Under the Cut:

Christine Edwards

Also known as Chrissy or Tina

Has a Liverpool/Scouse accent (very Beatles-esque)

The Femme Fatale of CDS '79.

Married to Alan, but in some sort of relationship with him and Nigel that the whole cast knows about but doesn't ask about.

Took the idea of Free Love and Flower Power to heart

Alan Edwards

The Stage Manager of CDS '79

London accent, but not a posh BBC-type one

Married to Chrissy, but in some sort of relationship with her and Nigel that the whole cast knows about but doesn't ask about.

Great at carpentry, though sometimes his doors have been known to get stuck in the frame on the random occasion.

Ian Moore

The Director of CDS '79

Father of three children and has a loving wife. All four are very supportive of his directing ambitions.

He ran the Cornley Youth Drama Society, and was a mentor figure of sorts to Chris when he was growing up.

Kenneth Martin

Also known as Ken or Kenny, but the latter is used only by Angel and Val

The newest member of CDS '79

More a side character and character actor than a lead role

Has a tendency to forget that he's on-stage as well, and gets lost watching the cast until everyone's staring at him

Has a terrier named Therese who has an entire tiny wardrobe of clothes and sweaters and bows

Angela Lewis

Also known as Ange or Angel

The Sweetheart Golden Girl of CDS '79

Can sing and dance like nobody's business

Her speaking voice is soft, with a wispy near-posh accent

She is shy when not on-stage, but can drink anyone in the cast or crew under the table

Graham Cooper

The Bad Boy of CDS '79

He gets cast in roles where the character is either morally grey or just a straight antagonist to the rest of them

He is very intense on- and off-stage, and takes his roles extremely seriously

Enjoys the roles where he can show off his guitar skills, and the one thing he'll bend his rules for is somehow shoehorning into the role the fact his character can play guitar. Regardless of it being plot relevant.

Nigel Clark

Also known as Nige, Lover Boy to Chrissy, and Baby to Alan

The Romantic Leading Man of CDS '79

Is in some sort of relationship with Chrissy and Alan that everyone knows about, but doesn't say anything about

Good at remembering his lines, but sometimes fumbles his props or stage directions

Cannot dance to save his life, but loves The Who

Has a Geordie accent naturally (I'm picturing something like Chris Ramsey's in Taskmaster), but can do a wide range of other English and European accents well, too.

James Q. Mitchell

Also known as Jaylad, Quince, or Quincy

The Non-Romantic Leading Man of CDS '79

Comes from an upper-middleclass family, and does have that BBC broadcaster type of accent

Enjoys the more serious plays they do, but can really be a hoot in comedies

Cannot sing to save anyone's life, but can do many ballroom dances quite effortlessly

Has a good cadence in delivering lines

Valerie Shaw

Also known as Val or Frankie Vallie

The Non-Romantic Leading Lady of CDS '79

Northern accent

Excells in Shakespearean roles

Can sing and dance decently

Deathly afraid of reptiles and amphibians

Called Frankie Vallie because of how much she listens to The Four Seasons

Secretly hates The Beatles

Cover Girl Killer (1959)

"Eh, what sort of picture you going to make?"

"There's been a murder case in the newspapers recently... the cover girl case."

"Could be good."

"You sound doubtful, Mr. Ross. Surely sex and horror are the new gods in this polluted world of so-called entertainment. And you cannot deny that this case is a surfeit of both."

JOBSON'S CHOICE - The Skids' Frontman On Life, Music And Upsetting The Nolans On Top Of The Pops

JOBSON’S CHOICE – The Skids’ Frontman On Life, Music And Upsetting The Nolans On Top Of The Pops

If ever there’s a walking embodiment of punk’s have-a-go attitude, it’s Richard Jobson. Exploding out of gang-ridden working class Fife in the late 1970s, The Skids frontman’s sheer exuberance and creative drive knew no bounds.

Merging raw energy, with abstract imagery and the sparkling guitar lines of co-songwriter Stuart Adamson, The Skids were among the most successful and prolific punk bands…
