Two big thank-yous

As you may have gathered from the post-title, I have immense gratitude to two of my regular readers.

Firstly Matt has a done a sterling job in acquiring some screenshots from The Schaf's appearance on Tonight's The Night. So in Dear Deidre-style, a nice photo story...

1) Tomasz with John. Note matching Tomasz's tie matching John Barrowan's shirt-- a great double act in making here don't you think?



2) Tomasz meeting a shocked Sarah for the first time. Don't blame her, I'd be a gibbering wreck if I met Tomasz.




3) Tomasz explaining the task ahead to Sarah, I reckon he makes such a good teacher. I'd love a guiding hand from Tomasz {i}



4) Tomasz shows Sarah the gallery, the people Tomasz likes to tell to hush [wink]



5) Tomasz waiting in the wings as studio gets ready to link to Sarah in weather studio... if that doesn't encourage you, nothing will!



6) Tomasz clapping and jumping just after broadcast is finished. What a splendid way to praise somebody's perfomance



7) Not as good as getting a hug off the Divine One though.



8) Not only that Tomasz asking "how it went", and kindly reassuring Sarah Jane after her endeavour. What a man




Secondly an immense thank you goes to Terratec, for saving that as a video file. Hope this works alright...


And as if Terratec hasn't done enough, he has done this video of His Loveliness, who was on today (and for most this week) in his usual slot, over midday (rejoice!). Today saw Tomasz hiding from Simone-- can't say I blame The Schaf for doing that. Not to worry, since he's looking as fine as his weather charts.



So a huge thanks to both Matt and Terratec-- you're both stars!


{i} You know what I mean, behave.

Adventure of Sarah Jane

I'm pleased to say Tomasz was on Tonight's The Night this evening, and The Schaf was at his most adorable.

The lady to be surprised was called Sarah-Jane, a plucky second-year journalism student; who's increasingly hard-of-hearing and also cares for her mother. John Barrowman decided she was ripe for a pleasant surprise, and lay in wait whilst Sarah Jane did a tour of the BBC TVC.

The tour guide directed Sarah Jane and her party towards a Tardis. The ebullient JB jumped out of said phone-box and shocked everyone, not least because of the bright purple shirt he was wearing. He announced he was going to take her to be mentored by "weatherman of the year" (I cannot repeat that often enough!) {i}, so that she could broadcast live on the News Channel-- no pressure there then!

The Tardis duly beemed Sarah-Jane and John Barrowman to the BBC Weather Centre. John of course wasn't looking for a cyberman, but a weatherman... and The Schaf spoke from the studio monitors. Sarah-Jane was thus granted an audience with the great man.

Next we saw Sarah-Jane tentatively rehearsing her piece, but Tomasz was adorably encouraging and being a real star. How can you fail with Tomasz behind you? Then the big moment came, Sarah-Jane breezed it, inspite of her understandable nerves; Tomasz was watching her with her family, he was enthusiastically cheering her on.

After the broadcast, Tomasz swept in to congratulate her warmly-- and she got a hug! I hope Sarah-Jane realises how lucky she is, a hug off Tomasz is much coveted! It shows what a lovely bloke he is though. He even dressed up in a suit (he was off-duty that day, if I recall?) and even colour co-ordinated his tie with John's shirt.

I shall try to get the i-player link up as soon as possible, if you missed it. Unless some superb person is to upload it on the web of course. I'd say it's The Divine One at his most admirable and heart-warming: If only more people in the world could be as kind, sweet and benevolent as him? [Sigh] I salute you Tomasz.

Darn right too

Tomorrow night will be our night

I've just checked the Tonight's The Night website, and I saw the following for this week's episode-- the bold text is of special importance!

John Barrowman makes more dreams come true for some very special people.
A dare-devil grandad, who has raised thousands of pounds for charity, wing-walks, while a hard-of-hearing student achieves her dream of presenting when she reads the weather on live TV.

An ex-soldier, who helps soldiers come to terms with life after the army, gives the performance of his life with the show's orchestra, and a teenager in constant pain gets a wonderful treat - duetting with singing star and Strictly Come Dancing judge Alesha Dixon.

Plus which member of the studio audience deserves a song dedication?

As devotees of this blog will recall, our very own award-winning weather-presenter takes on the role of mentoring her, and John Barrowman's behest. Of course Tomasz being the charitable and amazing bloke he is, he complied. If I were the lady in question, I would exceptionally honoured to tutored by His Loveliness.

Another reason to watch, will be to witness the double-act of JB and Tomasz-- I have a strong feeling the two will get on like a house on fire. I reckon JB gave Tomasz an extra-special showbiz hug... well.. you just would, wouldn't you.

So 19:50 BBC1 tomorrow (Sat 14th Aug). Tissues at the ready! Well it could be quite emotional.

Meanwhile he was on overnight, warning us today's weather would be fitting for the curse of Friday 13th. Personally I don't believe in superstitions, they only bring bad luck. Not all unfortunate though: Our very shooting star talked of the amazing Perseids display, plus he was keen to emphasis calmer weather over Northern Ireland and Scotland (if that is deemed patronising by the Scots).



Sadly I don't have the technological capabilites to upload Tomasz's stint on Tonight's The Night, but I'll see what I can do for those who can't BBC1. Can't have you missing such an evangellical moment!

Finally, for those who like Tomasz's friend Liam Dutton, he's done a photoshoot...

I had a Barrowman, but the wheel fell off...

John Barrowman's new series commenced this evening, correctly titled Tonight's The Night {i}, but no sign of The Divine One this week. I suspect it may be later in the series, if The Schaf filmed it this week. So I'll be there every Saturday night, with my video remote-control in one hand, and... err yeah

Not to worry, because Tomasz was doing his usual business. Terratec really treats us today, giving us a double-bill..



I like the way he adorably muses about an Australian winter wonderland. I just want to give him a big hug sometimes, he's so sweet. Although that would probably just scare him [LOL]


{i} I'm you sure spotted that deliberate mistake in the last post!
