TERRY TO PLAY FAMOUS SUPER SLEUTH - Aug 19
Hubbub team member Terry Cooper has just landed the role as Baker Street super sleuth Sherlock Homes in a forthcoming audio drama by Misfits Audio.Terry is excited about playing the eponymous detective: "I've loved Sherlock Holmes ever since I was a teenager. He's one of those timeless characters that everyone loves. He's enigmatic, intelligent and witty. I think most actors would relish the chance to play him.
"I think it's great that they've updated Sherlock for modern times," says Terry. "It just shows what a great character he is - whatever time or situation you place him in, he just gets on with the job of solving crimes in his inimitable way.'
These new audio dramas will be written by Alexa Chipman and based on the Orson Welles radio plays. Alexa has updated the 1939 script to modern times using contemporary language and settings. It will be released for the 2011 Summer Season of Sonic Society.
Terry is an author, illustrator and actor. His most recent project - Kangazang! - is available to buy fromwww.kangazang.co.uk

CELEBRITY BIRTH, DEATH & MARRIAGE CERTIFICATES - Dec 16
With celebrity culture on the rise, Celebrity Certificates is pleased to announce the re-launch of its website, offering the public the opportunity to obtain celebrity birth, death and marriage certificates.
Since launching last year the people behind Celebrity Certificates have been staggered by the number of enquiries they have received. Certificate requests have come in thick and fast, and despite a downturn in the economy, the order book does not appear to have been affected.
Shaun Russell, the publicist for Celebrity Certificates, says: “It's been absolutely amazing. We never expected to receive so many requests. We just assumed that we would get a trickle of orders, but we were flooded with them.
We put this down to the fact that people love to collect celebrity memorabilia such as autographs. Our service is just an extension of this. We have found that famous British names such as John Lennon, David Beckham and The Krays have been the most requested.”
The certificates, which are issued in a stylish frame, are NOT novelty items, but official ‘collectable’ documents automatically authenticated by Government officials.
