God love her . . .
Backstage
Journalist: I don't really like cruises.
Jane: You just haven't found the right one my darling.
What a class act she is.

Strange but there you go. Ria Jones has also been on. |

Michelle Gayle and Duncan James have also been guests. Will probably have to wait a while to see it on tv.

Inconsolable does not even cover it. I was turned away from the recording studio last night. I tried to chain myself to the door but they just closed it with me on the wrong side. I protested loudly screaming "do you knot know who I am?" - no, and we don't care came the curt reply.
So with the promise of priority tickets tonight and Alexandra Burke as guest, I shall make the pilgrimage to Media City once again this afternoon.
As a post script - there is a bar in the studio foyer a bottle of beer - £5 a 17cl bottle prosecco also £5. Even Dick Turpin wore a mask!!!!

Well, I think I have overdosed on the Diva of the North having seen her record a show on Sunday and her Christmas show this evening. All very entertaining and a bit surreal entering the studio in 23 degree heat and singing Christmas songs!!!
The sainted Jane was the epitome of professionalism, knocking out her songs and links to camera. In the two shows she only needed two re-takes
As you would expect, classy entertainment all the way - ish!!!!!

I too was at the christmas filming! We even saw Hayley from Corrie on the Tram, was v. northern!
I magically got a chat with the main woman herself and an offer to swap outfits after filming finished.... though unfortunately she didn't follow through on this.

We seem to be a little remiss in our appreciation of Jane spreading her gospel throughout the southern hemisphere. Tonight in Chile and Argentina and celebrating a picture of a bridge constructed with steel made in Wakefield. It is indeed a wonderful world.

Disappointed she didn't give us a bit of Evita for the final song though |

Disappointed she didn't give us a bit of Evita for the final song though Aahh she made up for it this week. Loved the full Evita hairdo. Though those suitcases in the hall were a H&S nightmare. One trip over those and it would have been goodnight and thank you! How hilarious was tipsy Jane trying to get a selfie at that monument.. "it's so hard trying to get five fingers in" |

Her album Cruising with Jane Mcdonald went into the charts at number 6.
Jane McDonald’s new album Cruising With… docks up as the biggest indie album of the week!
Toppling Johnny Marr’s Call The Comet to enter straight in at Number 1 on the Official Independent Albums Chart, the Channel 5-released collection is made up of covers from the BAFTA-winning TV show, including The Winner Takes It All by ABBA, Wham!'s Club Tropicana and Tina Turner classic Proud Mary.
Other new entries eclipsed by Jane this week include Kamasi Washington's Heaven & Earth at Number 2, and Dannii Minogue's Neon Nights at Number 9, back in the charts following a vinyl reissue.
Cruising With... also debuts at Number 6 on the main Official Albums Chart, delivering the much-loved cruise ship singer’s highest charting album on these shores in 18 years.
Great to see her back in the top 10.

I'm surprised nobody on here has mentioned it yet but tonight (Friday 6 July) Channel 5 is devoted entirely to Jane McDonald.
My response to that is: She's a beaut sheila – good on yer, Jane!

As one of her greatest acolytes, I'm ashamed to say I did not know. Thank you for bringing it to our attention tonyloco. I shall take myself to confession tonight and complete a penance before settling in front of the tellybox for worship tonight. x |

It's not quite the entire night tonyloco. The news is on first, and there's something/somebody else on after 11, so all tastes are catered for!!! |

^ I hate to be pedantic, TallPaul , but for An Older Theatre-Goer, the hours between 8pm and 11.05 pm are the entire night. Before 8pm we are cooking us teas and doing the pots. Then we sit down to watch telly. We’ll drift in and out of consciousness all evening with a small glass of Amontillado, finding just enough time to watch whatever’s on. In some cases (although not mine after last week’s episode in dreary Buenos Aires) Jane. Come 11.05pm we are fair jiggered and can just about make it upstairs to our beds. I envy you young’uns who can stay up and party... |

I too hate to be pedantic, @caiaphas, but piercing the film on an Aldi ready meal and bunging it in t'microwave hardly counts as cooking. And now you've got your Stannah, getting yourself up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire is less of a worry, so live a little!
Anyway, back to Dame Jane. I'm sure it was just bad editing, but I'm not sure the first commercial break warranted an OSO.
And what is happening to John Partridge? Every time I see him on TV, he looks younger, thinner and less able to frown. I've just looked, and he's older than me. As for those slacks!!!

There were so many edits TallPaul! The Chicago routine and Dame Jane introducing Gwen Dicky and a couple of the outro's to breaks were done on a night we were there. A couple of the audience shots were filed on different nights. Oh the magic of telly!!!
Whats an OSO?
And as for John Partridge, I was embarrassed for him. His manager really should say enough already!

Sorry, an OSO is an obligatory standing ovation.
