Sally Takes Centre Stage in BBC’s “Shiny Shiny Bright New Hole In My Heart”

Yes, it seems that Sally’s got a knack in starring in some of the longest titles ever concocted on TV!! In 2005, she gave us “Twenty Thousand Streets Under The Sky.” This year, it’s “Shiny Shiny Bright New Hole In My Heart“!! Ain’t that great? She takes centre-stage this time playing a shopaholic! Yes, “Shiny Shiny…” is a cautionary tale about a wife/mother being addicted to shopping.

This engaging drama was first aired on BBC 2 on 26th July, 2006. Don’t know if BBC will re-air it so keep a look out if you missed it the 1st time around. Find out more below…

A few site updates…

Life has been awfully busy for a while, but finally a few site updates:

  • Guestbook – Our previous guestbook received daily visits from automated spambots, so we’ve now updated the guestbook to minimise auto-spam. Unfortunately all of the previous entries were lost as a result, so if you like the site, please do leave us a note as it is much appreciated!
  • Fanlisting – A software update meant that the Join and Update membership forms for the fanlisting were down for a quite a long time, an issue which has now been resolved. Apologies for the inconvenience if you have tried to join recently.
  • Audio Clips – Last, but not least, the Audio Clips section has been updated to include more clips of Sally in the radio comedy Concrete Cow. There are a few more clips to come after this so please check back for future updates.

Thanks to users who have contacted us with extra content!
