Anyone know anything about the forthcoming film Boogie Woogie, currently in post production?
Directed by Duncan Wood, it stars Gillian Anderson (X Files, Bleak House) and Amanda Seyfried (Mamma Mia, CSI). Other familiar names (especially to Avengers fans) are Christopher Lee and Charlotte Rampling.
Any info appreciated - but particularly Joanna's role.

I'm very curious about this as well, but so far I haven't been able to find any info on it whatsoever.

Joanna is on Al Murray's Happy Hour (aka the pub landlord) on ITV1 at 10pm this Friday (October 17th). The Radio Times says, "Joanna Lumley props up the bar" I wonder if Jo is in 'Patsy' mode?
Will have to record this as Friday at 10 is committed to Stephan Fry and QI at Forsdyke Towers...

I'm quite fond of
Class Act--loads of TNA references, but also a pretty entertaining ensemble piece with lots of fun characters. Highly recommended--my favourite post-TNA Lumley project.

She's the only ex-Avenger that managed to sidestep the 'Avenger girl' tag when she played Patsy from Ab Fab, certainly interntionally. Although you could argue she swapped one typecast with another.

Like Timeless said, Class Act is really good. And so is Sensitive Skin, I can definitely recommend it

Up In Town the oddest thing she's ever done, but is compelling viewing. Written, produced and directed by Hugo (
Sensitive Skin) Blick it's a series of 10 minutes monologues which is both funny and terribly sad.
Joanna is superb in it...
Watch it here -

Yeah I agree, Up In Town is really good too, although a bit strange..
