News With thanks to Chortle it seems that Adam is involved in another pilot. This time it’s for a sit-com based around a spoof chat show lifestyle. The project is currently in development but the pilot will be filmed in a couple of weeks.
SAME TIME NEXT WEEK
Welcome to Toxborough Village Hall…home to a brand new comedy chat show for the BBC.
Hosted by the irrepressible housewife Celia Jesson (played by Jo Neary) together with her ridiculously sensible husband Fred (Al Kerr) and dashing local actor Gerard Jeremy (played by Adam Buxton), these delightfully eccentric characters will be taking a hilarious look at life in and around their fictional village with video diaries, reviews, letters and songs and will also be joined by two mystery celebrity guests. It promises to be an event not to be missed!
Feel free to dress up in your finest provincial clothing for a night out at your local village hall!
It sounds like something Richard and Judy would be grateful to be doing in their local tv station right now!
You can pre-register for tickets here.
Eagle-eyed LazyBones over in the forum brought this to our attention. If we can find any more information we’ll add it later.
It seems it has come out of Feelgood Fiction and looks like something Jo had been touring with it.
Same Time Next Week – a pilot for a new BBC2 entertainment show starring Joanna Neary, Adam Buxton and Al Kerr. To be produced by Alex Jackson-Long

YouTube Adam updated his own blog today by writing an open letter to David Bowie inviting him to appear on his Big Mixtape show. This will be wonderful coup for Adam and surely, after all this time Mr Bowie will find a way to make it happen.
I’m not a physical or mental threat and the show would be recorded at the BBC with responsible humans around and would take only an hour of your time so what’s the worst that could happen?! Best case scenario: we make a memorable radio show that thousands of highly intelligent 6 Music listeners will cherish! Worst case scenario, you find me an unctuous prat and make a mental note never to respond to online petitions for your guest services again (though you may have already made that mental note). If you don’t want to be alone in a studio with me, we could ask Joe to come too!
The blog entry also includes Chris Salt’s amazing Lego version of “Changes” and he rounds it off with a Labyrinth audition tape!
Adam has also uploaded an hilarious video he made with David OReilly in 2007 giving a tutorial on some scriptwriting software.
Reports from our forum members suggest that Adam has made a video for his live shows that will eventually go on his channel.

News Public Booking for the May sessions of BUG go on sale at 11:30am on 13th April 2010.
They are both at 8:45pm on the nights of Thursday 20th & 27th of May 2010. The latter is the “Director’s Cut” which is slightly shorter because it doesn’t have a guest director. More time in the bar with that one!
Now firmly established as one of London’s best nights out. Join us for a tantalising blend of brilliant music video, expert comment and off-the-cuff hilarity courtesy of host extraordinaire Adam Buxton. A positive smorgasboard of miniature cinematic gems from some of the most talented emerging directors will be on show, and the fun doesn’t stop there, as our resident BUG DJs will be providing aural stimulation in the Benugo lounge till late.
Find out more here or go straight to the BUG19 Booking Page.
A BUG Special dedicated to UNKLE has also been organised for Friday 7th May 2010.
More details are available on the BFI website, or see below:
With James Lavelle a central figure in an ever-evolving line up, UNKLE have become a uniquely influential and innovative creative force. Working consistently with outstanding directors and visual artists, the group have produced a body of work that includes some of the most powerful combinations of music and moving image of the last two decades. BUG is therefore delighted to mark the brand new UNKLE album, Where Did the Night Fall?, with a big-screen retrospect on the band’s output in moving image – including the astonishing video for Eye for an Eye, by animators Shynola – who started their careers working with Lavelle – and Jonathan Glazer’s video for Rabbit in Your Headlights, alongside such more recent works as the highly-rated Heaven by Spike Jonze and Ty Evans, and Miguel Sapochnik’s Burn My Shadow. Inimitable BUG host Adam Buxton will present a special programme of UNKLE videos, tour visuals and rarities, and will be joined on stage by special guests, including James Lavelle. Following the show, BFI Southbank’s regular AV club event, Dark Fibre, will be headlined by a DJ set from UNKLE, plus a special line-up of audiovisualists playing late in the foyer and Benugo bar.

News Adam will join Liza Tarbuck as they cover for Jonathan Ross on BBC Radio 2 for the next two Saturdays (3rd April & 10th April, 10am-1pm).
Liza Tarbuck and Adam Buxton begin a two-week stint sitting in for Jonathan Ross. Guests today include Robin Cousins plus live music from Lucinda Belle
And Adam’s brand new 6 Music show, Adam Buxton’s Big Mix Tape, begins tomorrow at midday, with special guest Julian Barrett.
Of course, this will clash with 6Music’s Adam and Joe’s Easter Highlights Show. We can’t be sure if the Radio 2 show will be live but it might be what he was recording last weekend which delayed his attendance at the protest.
Liza is very busy at the moment and is currently also recording a radio sit-com with Kevin Eldon who is appearing as his Paul Hamilton character.
Finally, Adam Buxton’s Big Mix Tape will have an associated podcast. Please subscribe and put it in the top ten charts.

News It all kicked off at the BBC yesterday lunchtime when hundreds of dedicated, intelligent music fans braved the downpours with their banners and various 6-based snacks.
Those hard working people at Love6Music have put together various pictures and other items from the event. They have also themed their site with Adam’s “Changes”.
Let us know if you were there, especially if you talked to Adam or have any pictures to share.
