“I'm not going to sing the one that she asked me for because, er... well I can't actually... I can't remember a lot of the words. But I'll tell you what, look, erm, if it's any consolation, the one I'm going to sing will have a lot of the same... notes.”

| "SISTER JOSEPHINE" GETS A NEW WRITER |
|
|
|
 All those who met Roger Stennett at the Torrington Fest in September will be very sorry to hear that he was taken seriously ill early in November and has had to ask to be relieved of the commission to write the script of the Sister Josephine Kicks The Habit stage show. Roger was working with Jake at the time of Jake's death and had agreed the shape of the show with him. He has been with the project over a period of six years and it is a personal tragedy for him to have to pull out at this stage. We are heartened to know that Roger will, given time, make a full recovery and we know you will all join with us in sending him our very best wishes for a speedy return to full power.
In the meantime, we have had the incredible good fortune to recruit a new man to write the book - Ian McMillan, ubiquitous man of the airwaves, poet in residence to Barnsley Football Club (and at various other times to Hull Police and Transpennine Railways) and erstwhile candidate for the Oxford Professorship of Poetry. Whilst his accent betrays him to be a South Yorkshire townie, Ian has always been a great admirer of the North Yorkshire rural Jake and he jumped at the opportunity to work on SisJo. (For anyone unfamiliar with his mellifluous tones, we understand that Ian will be appearing on Have I Got News For You on December 10.) |
