SIX DEGREES (or less) OF KEVIN BACON - the James Lance edition.

Kevin starred in the Fox series THE FOLLOWING alongside James Purefoy. Purefoy was in HBO's ROME with Kevin McKidd. McKidd was in the film THE ACID HOUSE with fellow Scot Michelle Gomez

Gomez starred in THE BOOK GROUP with James Lance.

Looking like a tart.

Gomez also co-produced and had a small role in SUBTERRAIN which was executive produced by her husband Jack Davenport.

More strings that bind us them.

Davenport was one of the stars of COUPLING and who else starred in that? Richard Mylan,

who had the impossible task of replacing Richard Coyle (who would much later go on to work with Michelle Gomez in THE CHILLING ADVENTURES OF SABRINA).

Mylan appeared in the film CITY RATS with James Lance as the guy who actually succeeds in Operation Get Chris (Lance's character) Laid.

Beyond being costars, they are friends. Richard attended Lance and Kate Quilton's wedding

and James was best man at Richard's.

Supporting Richard's theatre program.

And while Richard cheers on James' in TED LASSO

being Welsh and a Wrexham supporter he has another football show he's a fan of.

Richard was a producer of James' short film THE LEAD and James was the lead of Richard's short film THE MAC GUY.

In the short James places a call to his frequent costar Patrick Baladi.

Total aside but S1 hair > S2 hair.

Me: okay there’s a 2003 mini series that’s incredibly depressing about British Soldiers in a POW Camp in WWII…

I think at one point or another everyone should become slightly obsessed with a show (preferably 10+ years old) that 99% of their mutuals don't care about. it builds character. keeps you humble

[invisibleicewands]

[...] Speaking to WalesOnline ahead of the three-part series’ release, Callum said he was “incredibly proud” to be a part of telling the story of The Way. [...]

Callum added: “I think the role of the Driscoll family is to kind of mirror a real family because often the idea of the family in crisis is not a new one, but the heart of the show is this family and everything that happens around them. Making that as real and honest as possible was something that we all kind of set out to do.

“Michael was really passionate about doing that because the show lives and dies by the Driscoll family. One of the first things we did when we met was a series of improvisations about what it would have been like when Owen and Thea (Sophie Melville) were in school together, coming home from school, the dynamic between Owen and his mother – all these different scenes where things were fine. When we're going into those scenes when they’re not okay, it's a bit more complex and there's conflict there and a historical trauma to explore.”

The Way features a cast that is packed full of big Welsh names, including Steffan Rhodri (Steeltown Murders, Gavin and Stacey), Mali Harries (Keeping Faith, Hinterland), Sophie Melville (The Pact, Iphigenia In Splott) and Michael Sheen himself. Maja Laskowska (Trigonometry, Baptiste) plays a young woman caught up in the family’s escape. Luke Evans (Nine Perfect Strangers, The Pembrokeshire Murders) stars as Hogwood, a mercenary in pursuit of the Driscolls, with Tom Cullen (The Gold, Weekend), Danny Sapani (Killing Eve, The Diplomat), Mark Lewis Jones (Outlander, The Crown), Paul Rhys (Discovery of Witches, Chaplin), Erin Richards (The Crown, Gotham), Aneurin Barnard (The Catch, 1899), Catherine Ayers (The Light in the Hall, Keeping Faith), Patrick Baladi (Breeders, Line of Duty), Georgia Tennant (Staged, Doctor Who), Jonathan Nefydd (Pobol y Cwm, Grav), and Matthew Aubrey (Keeping Faith, World on Fire) all playing key roles across the three-parter. [...]

or Callum, the chance to work with Michael Sheen – who is shifting from in front of to behind the camera for The Way – was a dream come true. He said: “I've grown up watching Michael and have been inspired by him for so many years. He's in some of my favourite pieces of TV and film so growing up watching him and then being directed by him, and even just meeting him for my audition was just something that was so cool. He's a monolith of Welsh acting, film, television, theatre – all of it.

“He kind of represents the best of us, and getting to work with him was something that I felt very lucky to be doing. To be directed by him and to get to see him work every day on a piece like this that is so full of power and passion and fight and anger and everything else was something that I just loved every minute of it.” [...]

So @nocompromise-noregrets inspired me to make a ‘talk about your fandoms of 1 (or maybe 3 at most)’ post. I am going to talk about mine below.

POW (2003): available on YouTube (6 episodes)

This is a mini series set in a POW camp for British Soldiers in WWII which is exactly the content warning(s) you would think - starring Patrick Baladi (as the British Captain) and James D’Arcy (as an RAF officer/soldier who gets shot down and thus ends up in the camp). It’s also about a Commandant who thinks he’s side stepping complicity for being a Nazi and is in fact, not side stepping complicity at all and has a Creepy Fascination with Patrick Baladi’s character. It isn’t an easy series at all - it deals with antisemitism within the ranks of the British Soldiers, sexual assault, torture and trauma in general.

I also love the dynamic Baladi and D’Arcy’s characters have - from UGH IT’S HIM to actual genuine friendship. I also have extensive headcanons about their relationship and Attercomb’s (the Captain) backstory that I will talk about a lot.

The Scarlet Pimpernel (1999): I do not recognise the second series because they made an absolute Nonsense of a decision. Obviously there are more than three people who are fans of the Scarlet Pimpernel but like, this specific mini series has my heart. Not least because I have an extensively plotted OT4 (Suzanne/Andrew/Marguerite/Percy) and also a profound conviction that Chauvelin is in love with both Blakeney’s.

I believe you can find the mini series on YouTube as well (I have it on DVD but haven’t been able to watch in a while because Laptop Stopped Working :/).

Are we finally getting somewhere, guys?? 🤔

Episode 5 - Signs

Things are not going well for our boys 😔

Side note: I love Chris & Arlo 😂

Smack him harder Mae!!

That fucking text was from his dad?! 😂😂 I just learnt way more info than I wanted or needed!

Well said Roy! It’s really pissed me off that Ted has always been about them being a team, but has been happy for them to fully rely on Zava since they got him

Is this a continuity error?? Her hair was down at the match now it’s up?? 🤔 or is this not right after the match?? We’ve never seen her change her hair during the day before, have we??

Not that it matters anyway. Hannah always looks amazing, as we know! I’m glad this dress is making a comeback 🥵

Yes!! Shout at him babes!!

I love all of their reactions to it too. Ted’s tiny little smile is very cute

Beard’s little “I think” 😂 and Hannah trying very hard not to laugh. RELEASE THE BLOOPERS YOU COWARDS!!!!

YYEEEAAAHHHH!!!

Michael Jackson! (Sorry, only people who have watched Stella will understand why I want to say that every time Patrick Baladi is on my screen 🫣🤷🏻‍♀️😂)

This whole interaction is brilliant. Rebecca kind of stumbling over words because she’s thinking of all the signs and as she’s looking at the matchbook John just happens to walk in! And him seeming a little flustered, but happy to tell her he’s moved on and happy. He absolutely doesn’t come here often hoping to run into her 😳😂

Hannah’s face and whole reaction at ‘shite in nining armour’ 🫡 ALL THE AWARDS!!

Keeley having the same photo as Ted for Rebecca is cute

I’m so proud of Keeley!! Also tits. I’m sorry 😔

And that shirt was a choice, Miss Jones!! 😂

Shandy just makes me incredibly angry. And I know that’s the point, but July god 😡

These two have amazing chemistry. I am a RoyKeeley girly, but they cute!

These boys all knowing about She’s All That makes me very happy 😂 just when I think I can’t love them more

Again, Dani I love you 😍

Of course Beard danced in college. I will never be surprised about thing I learn about this man!

ROY FUCKING JOINED IN!!!

I love that they are including Trent

Protective uncle Beard 🥰

Roy, baby, who hurt you 🥺

Is Trent’s cup plastic?! How the fuck didn’t it break when he dropped it 😂

Aww, poor Leslie. Trying to do him job at the expense of his friend 🥺

Rebecca shutting it down straight away by changing the subject. Exactly, girly

The complete shift in Higgins’ whole self is brilliant. And of course he believes in psychics 😂

THE UNIVERSE IS FULLY OF THINGS WE CAN’T EXLAIN, REBECCA 👀

Of course he called his mum to practice that speech 😂

“Hey, Coach” “Hello, Rebecca” 🫠

THEY ARE SO IN SYNC!!!!!!

Yes, thank you Barbara for basically telling Keeley she needs to fire Shandy

I’ll say it every time she’s on screen if I have to; I love Barbara 😍😂 Katy is amazing

This scene really is all over the fucking shop! 😂 and here’s the bitchy female character that is very much real but we don’t get on the show 👍🏼

Fancy as fuck waiting room! And peep all the same women she saw when she left John. Well done on that one

Okay, is this hesitation because she can’t decide who she’d put? Or because she feels like she has no one?? 🤔

It might just be me, but this connection she has with this doctor feels very familiar (if that’s the right word) has he been her doctor forever? My initial reaction was that he knew her dad and I don’t know where that came from 😂

She looks so hopeful 🥹

“Unless it’s animal crossing. That shits fucking soothing” please never change, Isaac 😂

I feel so bad for Jamie that Zava says exactly what he says and they all go crazy for it, but not him. But he is getting a taste of his own medicine so…

I LOVE YOU DANI!! 😂 I love that they’ve giving so much to Cristo this year

Ted going to water then swapping to alcohol when Jake is mentioned 🥺

Barbara loves violence. Why do I love this??

I love the detail of Roy telling all the guys ‘cut, slice, mash’ their opponents, or in Colin’s case ‘cheer until your voice bleeds’, but tells Sam to ‘outclass ‘em’

Proud he didn’t pee on his trousers. I, too, and proud of you Ted 😂

“Henry’s a good kid cause you’re his dad” 🥹

Jade is so unnecessarily rude

I really do love what Nick is doing with Nate this season. It’s so layered and delicious

“Love someone for who they are not what they are” 👀

Sweet Nate, you don’t need her

They can’t function without Zava now. Shocking

I’m sorry, but Leslie’s Meemoji thing looks like my dad and that’s hilarious to me 😂😂

Hannah’s face journey in this scene breaks my heart. Nothing is said and yet every time is said at the same time 🥺 ALL. THE. AWARDS!!!

So twice she’s tried to call Keeley and she’s not answered 🤔 And she’s spent a good chunk of this episode alone 🤔 metaphors me thinks 👀

Keeley, babes, you can’t sleep with her after realising you can’t talk about Roy

Jade & Nate is interesting, but I’m not sure I’m behind it yet

Beard, you could have won that game if you hadn’t let the boys become a team that relied on Zava! (Why does this make me angry ITS NOT REAL!!😂)

A tactic his dad taught him that he passed onto his son 🥹 beautiful

Ted helping himself from a panic attack starting! Proud of you, babes!!

Gina fucking Gershon 😂 great callback!

I’m so happy to see Ted back giving his pep talks. And the boys being so invested in that sign because they’re so invested in Ted and his lessons.

OMG TED SWORE! 🫣😂

The order of these shots is interesting; Nate & Jade, Keeley & Jack, then Roy alone straight after, then Rebecca alone in the car still fixated on that FUCKING MATCHBOOK 🫠

Woah, what an episode! So much to unpack!! Of course I have many thoughts and feelings about most of it.

But it’s Amsterdam next week, guys! I will never be ready 🫡

Death in Paradise S02 Ep02 "An Unholy Death" 

[weclassybouquetfun]

The play's the thing (aka a look at some of James Lance's theatre roles).

OF KITH AND KIN

THE DEAD MONKEY

JEEVES AND WOOSTER IN PERFECT NONSENSE

CELEBRITY AUTOBIOGRAPHY

*A reading at Edinburgh Fringe where James read an excerpt from former Mr. Katie Price, Peter Andre's autobiography, Richard Burton's (which a reviewer said "Lance was brilliant as the libidinous Welshman as well as Eminem. It's the latter staging that Jason Sudeikis' uncle George Wendt performed, as well as SHRINKING costar Michael Urie.

More Roles

INGREDIENT X

PYTHONESQUE

What did the critics say, "James Lance juggles Eric Idle and Terry Gilliam and somehow manages to morph physically as well as vocally. A teeny hint of Frankie Howerd in his Eric Idle does no harm at all."

"The cast all have fine talents for mimicry, not least James Lance who plays a sleazily indignant Eric Idle, a laconic Terry Gilliam and a superior David Frost – occasionally more than one of them at once – to hilarious effect."

KALEIDOSHOW

ORDINARY DREAMS (with this TEACHERS costar Adrian Bower)

*Preview of the play.

Notice that he's wearing the same shirt and almost the same cardigan in the video and the after-party pictures that were taken a year apart. The two pictures were like looking at one of those "Spot The Difference" games.

PIRANDELLO'S HENRY IV

THE INLAND SEA

THE BACK ROOM

*Probably one of the first time he acted with Patrick Baladi who he he would go on to appear in NO HEROICS, SENSITIVE SKIN and TED LASSO.

If I had a nickel for every time James Lance played a gay Spaniard, I'd only have two nickels which isn't a lot but yadda yadda yadda.

QUEEN CHRISTINA

ELEGIES FOR PUNKS, ANGELS AND RAGING QUEENS

*James was part of the original company and played the role of Dwight.

GLEE's Kevin McHale played Dwight in a charity Zoom event and it was fitting because the casting note for Dwight read, " A typical, young, Broadway-chorus-boy type, Southern accent can work."
