Standish to be “product placement”!
Apr. 1st, 2010 09:14 amWow. I'm shaking!
Just had an email from my agent. (get me…)
He's been pitching (much to my terror) Standish to the TV stations here, and although they rejected the book for making into a series (hardly surprising, but I live in hope) – but he’s had word back that ITV want to use the book as part of product placement for "Emmerdale" I can't tell you how funny this is, as I remember the show when it was all about farming. Now it's a lot more about the characters and sex than sheep which is just as well.
I don't watch it, but apparently there's a new gay character starting (http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2010/03/02/another-gay-character-for-emmerdale/) soon - (he looks a bit loony to me, and what's with the hair?) and they want him to be reading gay historicals, and Standish is one of the books they picked.
More news on this as soon as I have it!
Some great things around today to make me laugh – Google has an animal translation app just launched. Watch the Video. Mafia Wars has a unicorn castle. My vampire hatchling is actually dead, i think, not just un-dead.
