Dear All,
Thank you for taking the time to look at my website.
A film I can’t say I’m awfully proud of but with a stellar British cast originally entitled “The Smashing Bird I Used to Know” and then renamed “School for Unclaimed Girls,” a British exploitation film about girls in a Borstal, has made its way out onto DVD. I haven’t had a chance to watch it again yet although I now have a copy. However for those of you who are interested it is currently available at Play.com for £3.99 (normally £5.99)
A few more outings from my career have been released onto DVD. It’s just a shame I won’t get any residuals from them!!
These are:
Please Sir – The Complete Third Series
Episode 2 - Disc 2 - Catch a Falling Drop-Out
Acting opposite my great friend George Layton:
Doctor At Large – The Complete Series
Episode 1 - Disc 4 - Pull the Other One
Thriller: The Complete Series Created by Brian Clemens
Series 5 - Episode 5 - Good Salary, Prospects, Free Coffin
Other exciting news of course is that BBC Wales are to remake “The Day Of The Triffids” for a two part release in 2009. Although I was expecting a big screen re-imagining to occur, with some trepidation I might add, BBC Wales have been responsible for the revival of Doctor Who and the remake of Terry Nation’s “The Survivors” which I have greatly enjoyed.
Patrick Harbinson is currently credited as being the writer for the drama with its setting being the not too distant 2011.
I’m sure comparisons will be drawn with the film version and the 1981 TV series but I wish them all the very best and look forward to seeing the end result.
I would also like to recommend for all you Hammer afficionado Wayne Kinsey’s new book “Hammer - A Life In Pictures” in which you’ll find some pictures of me!!
This is a perfect coffee table book with some wonderfully rare photographs which I’m sure would take pride of place in any Hammer fan’s library.
This book is strictly a limited edition of 2500 copies. It can be ordered through the publisher - Tomahawk Press - for £27.50 with free delivery within the U.K.
Best Wishes,
Janina
To all the wonderful Hammer fans,
Thank you all for making yourselves known to me at the Bray Day 2007 and for helping to make it such a successful event for everyone. After such a terrible summer (weather wise) how fantastic that the sun shone on us all day!
This was my second
Bray Day event, and like the first, it was a genuine pleasure for me
to be able to meet and greet so many old friends and to be introduced to new ones.
I hear the day was so successful that another one is planned
in the not too distant future.
Thanks to my friend Wayne Kinsey (who ran around all day with his camera!) you can now see some happy snaps (click here).
For those of you who are interested, there will be a showing of The Two Faces of Dr Jekyll and Never Take Sweets From a Stranger at the book launch on the 27th October at:
The Ciné Lumière Cinema
Queensberry Place,
London
SW7 2DT
Tel: 020 7073 1350
Tube: South Kensington
Bus: 19/395/59/70/79/C1
I look forward to seeing you there.
Best wishes,
Janina
