I did an interesting thing once. I played in some music for the TV! You didn't know about that, did you?

I did it twice. One was an episode of "Torchwood", the spin-off series from the very famous BBC series called Doctor Who (notice that Torchwood is a rearrangement of the letters of Doctor Who). The other was a drama called "The Perfect Parents" (actually I think its real title is Perfect Parents), something about people pretending to be Catholic to get their children into a good school. don't ask me why they would do that though...

It was very interesting to do, and as always, every playing opportunity is an opportunity to learn more about playing and develop different things as you go along.

It seems that whenever a film has something emotional happening they need to have some piano music to make everybody cry. That's where I step in! Yes, my piano music often makes people cry (that's a joke...though actually true as well (for different reasons)!).

In the UK you can see the results on BBC 2 last night (too late now!) or on BBC3 (digital channel) on 22nd Dec (21.00-21.50) also 23rd Dec (01.55-02.45). That's for Torchwood episode 10 ("Out of Time"), and then "The Perfect Parents" is on ITV1 (used to be called just ITV in my day, but there you are, now everything is more complicated). on 28th December from 21.00-23.00. Listen out for piano music! (not including the Moonlight Sonata in Torchwood, I don't know who is playing that)

You might not hear me doing this type of work very often, so keep your ears out!
