| 9.11.08
- Have
added another trivia page to the site. I have decided to write a
bit about how various costumes were used and re-used during the
run of the show. I have also added a new prop that I have had for
ages - the "Sinbad's Saucy Arabian Nights" video cover.
Find these updates in the "Behind the Scenes" section!
23.10.08
- I
bet you thought I was dead!!! I have finally managed to get back
to the T-Room (although I am always lurking behind the scenes) and
do a bit of updating. I was sick and tired of the videos section
not working, so I took it down altogether (BOOOO!), and instead
have replaced it with the photos section. Before you get stroppy
and think "Boring old photos!", the photos that will be
going up here (very slowly) will be those given to me by Raymond
Childe. They are exclusive photos of the filming of the series,
and many of them give an insight into how the show was produced.
They are quite exciting. Also, I have made my own version of the
Nibbles prop. Find out how I did it in the Behind the Scenes Section.
21.12.07
- Lee
Pressman has sent me a message to say that Fremantle is currently
digitising and clearing the rights for T-Bag to be made available
as download to own or download to rent. If this is successful, then
they will release it on DVD at last!!!!!
6.11.07
- It
has been a while, but I have finally put the Star Dress replica
up for your perusal. Also, I have thrown in a quick replica of the
Black Star Dress for a laugh.
31.7.07
- Dexter
has sent me the latest details regarding the release of the reunion
DVD. Find them on the Welcome Page of the T-Room!
26.7.07
- Georgina
Hale has agreed to do an interview for the T-Room. Find it in the
"Behind the Scenes" Section.
21.6.07
- Georgina
Hale has given me a couple of lovely little pressies. She has sent
me Tabatha Bag's purse, and also the earrings that went with the
"Suntones" key costume! Thanks Georgina - they are a great
addition to the T-Room's collection! Find them under props in the
Behind the Scenes section.
13.6.07
- Just
added a bit about how to make your own T-Plant. Hope you like it!
31.5.07
- I
have added quite a lot. There is now a behind the scenes account
of both days of filming the reunion DVD, and also I have added a
section for the props that were available to look at on the days.
Find them both in the ever-expanding "Behind the Scenes"
section. There is still a lot more to come - I just can't take the
pace!
4.5.07
- No
updates today I'm afraid, but I must write down that I am terribly
excited that I have had 1406 hits in the last week! I got home from
work this evening and have had over 300 since yesterday lunchtime!
3.5.07
- I
have had a bit of an updating fit (at long last). Whilst I was in
London, I went to Twickenham and found the curiosity shop there.
I took the opportunity to take some photographs and make a feature
in the behind the scenes section. Also, I have bee trawling the
site and fixing a lot of the stuff that has been down for ages.
The videos still do not work, but Clare has been notified, and she
is going to look into it. During the filming of
the DVD, I managed to get Elizabeth Estensen, Kellie Bright, and
John Hasler to sign some of the costume design sketches that related
to them. I have included scans of these autographs for your interest.
Also, Raymond Childe gave me the final design sketch for the Velvet
Dress, and also the first ever T-Bag design, The Gardener, for which
I am eternally grateful.
2.5.07
- I put in the stop press announcement about the DVD realease
a few days ago, but today, I have re-written the Key costumes page
and put it up. It contains some of the photographs given to me by
Raymond Childe, some of which were taken behind the scenes. These
are to follow, but I have a few major updates to do, so not sure
when.
26.9.06
- Just when you thought I would never update this site
again, I have finished putting up the old series commentaries! It
has been hell just trying to get myself to do it because it is SUCH
A BORING JOB! The Christmas specials are not up yet, but they will
be when I can be bothered to get back into it. Hey, I've done three
series this morning, so I'm going to congratulate myself and slip
into a coma. I have had to kill the guestbook because I was being
inundated with Hungarian robots telling me how good my site was
and then posting links to casinos, porn sites, viagra vendors, and
the like. Sorry, but I am not a marketplace! The
Site has come dangerously close to shutting down, because I have
been too busy to deal with it of late, but I thought that I can't
just let six years of the T-Room slip down the pan, so we are still
here for the duration. Must think of something to update with now...
3.2.06
- It's been a while since I last updated this page, but
I have been putting the series section back together. All the Tallulah
series commentaries are back up, and I have just completed "Pearls
of Wisdom". Apart from that, I have been administering the
guestbook and forum - lots of evil robots are invading with porn
and other lurid content, and I'm trying my best to keep them away.
9.10.05
- Finally got round to doing some more building of the
T-Room! I have put Lee's photos and press cuttings back up, and
have also reinstated most of the costume pages. Getting there!
23.8.05
- No major updates to report, but I am trying to make some
headway with the series section. "Strikes Again" is now
up and running. Also, the Mark III velvet dress replica is up for
your enjoyment. My flat is slowly filling up with velvet dress replicas!
4.6.05
- Well, here we are at the new T-Room (the T-Room's third
home so far!). Hope you like it. We now have loads of php controlling
how the site is put together, a new discussion forum, a new video
section, a twinkly star background and loads of fancy shmancy bits
and bobs (like a floaty menu!!) to bring the T-Room up to date.
Best of all, there are no more infuriating advertisements anywhere!
Many thanks to Clare at Berzerk for all her hard work!
8.10.04 - Lee Pressman has kindly allowed me to
copy some of his photographs and press cuttings produced during
the time that T-Bag was being made. I have included them in the
"Behind the Scenes" section. I would like to thank Lee
for his continuing support.
10.8.04
- I have made a replica of the original T-Bag dress that
featured in "Wonders" and "Strikes Again". El
has modelled it for me, and I have documented how I made it. Find
out more in the Behind the Scenes section.
14.5.04
- I have made a more faithful copy of the Red Velvet dress,
and it is available to view in the Behind the Scenes section with
a description of how it was made and modelling photos with El.
31.3.04
- Well, Time for antother update. I guess you all think
that I have been dead or hibernating over the winter. Truth is,
I was studying hard up until October, and have finally been awarded
my PhD, and time has just flown since then. Anyway, I have received
the specially commissioned Velvet Frock replica, which I am thrilled
with, and I have added its description to the Behind the Scenes
section.
20.8.03
- I have finally completed the section on the design sketches
for the show and they are now online in the "Behind the Scenes"
section.
11.7.03
- I have had my chat with Raymond back and he has approved
the draft, so it is finally online in the "Behind the Scenes"
section.
27.4.03
- It's been a great week for me at the T-Room! I have loads
of updates coming your way! I have been to see none other than Raymond
Childe. I therefore have an interview with him to publish once he
has approved the draft that I have written, and also I have a whole
portfolio of costume design sketches that he sold to me. Also ("Stop!"
you cry, "We can't take the excitement!") I have acquired
Tallulah Bag's Merry Pippins jacket from "T-Bag's Christmas
Cracker", and have added this to the costumes bit it in the
behind the scenes section.
22.4.03
- It's funny how things can come back to haunt you if you
keep putting them off! Dreamwater.net is closing down in early May.
This was the home for the T-Room's Message Board and Guestbook,
so I'm having to move the guestbook over here to Lycos, and temporarily
close down the message board (although it will still be available
until May 4th). BOO! I loved that message board too with its witty
repartee and its intelligent dialogue (not to mention the odd rogue
picture of a naked woman or two - JOKE!).
19.4.03
- I have expanded the studios bit in the "Behind the
Scenes" section. It now includes photographs that I took back
in January of the studio buildings and the surrounding area. It
also includes a link to the studio's corporate Site. I have also
finally written the "T-Bag's Christmas Turkey" commentary!
15.04.03
- I have added another bit to the costumes section. Now
there are images of all of T-Bag's main frocks for your enjoyment.
14.04.03
- Have added the theme tunes to the main TV series to the
"Sounds" section. Have reinstated the counter on the main
page, and added Lycos statistics to monitor your settings so I can
judge how you will all be viewing the page and adjust it to suit
the most common settings. Still working on the Site - I will never
abandon it! Anyone have any ideas about what they want to see?
09.01.03
- Good grief, how time flies! I have spent the last year
or so not updating this site at all! I have been working hard behind
the scenes, however, trying to get the series released. Any news
that I get will probably be posted on the main page and also on
the discussion board. Thanks for all of your emails. I do read them
all, although I get so many that I find it hard to reply to all
of them. Thanks to everyone who has supported the campaign to get
T-Bag released - let's hope it finally happens.
As
for the updates - I have added a single page linked from the Red
Dress page (in behind the scenes) giving a few details about how
to make a copy of the costume, a list of the materials that you
will need, the approximate cost, etc. It also has line drawings
of the dress which I threw together showing all of the panels. There
is more to come on this page. It also shows the attempt at a copy
that I made!
22.12.01
- Well, Merry Christmas! I can't believe how long it has
been since I updated this page! I have acquired another costume
from the T-Bag show - the flamenco dress that Tabatha Bag wore when
she appeared in Carmen in "Take off with T-Bag". I have
included the photos of my Sister in the dress and also a description
as with the other costumes.
16.10.01
- I have added a load more sounds to the dialogue section
of the T-Room for your enjoyment.
1.10.01
- I have replaced the picture of the T-Bag costume with
one of my sister modelling it. I have also added a page of her thoughts
on wearing the dress.
16.9.01
- I have just added a temporary picture of the T-Bag costume
being elegantly modelled by two pillows and a large cushion - it's
not easy to come by young, talented models of this calibre! I have
also added the commentaries of three of the four Christmas specials,
so only one more to go!
12.9.01
- Wow! Has it really been this long? Well, to tell you
the truth, no it hasn't because I have been adding little bits and
bobs here and there. You may have noticed that I have done a bit
of a photo shoot with my sister modelling the nightie. I have added
the photos and a page of her thoughts on wearing the dress. I must
say a big thanks to her for being so self sacrificing. The Red dress
has arrived, and I am thrilled to bits with it - it looks so different
in real life! A big thanks to As if by Magic for that! I have included
a feature on it, but there is no picture of it on a model, so I
will be kidnapping my little sister again soon to get one.
30.7.01
- Just had a writing and housekeeping fit. The T-Room has
had a couple of extra sections added. I thought that it was about
time that I added a FAQ, as well as giving Lee and Grant's interview
a proper home in the new "Behind the Scenes" section.
Have you read the T-Room news? Yes, I have added details on a T-Bag
costume that I bought to this section, so now you can see just how
much attention to detail went into these fabulous costumes. Don't
ask me how I came by it, I will tell all once the other costume
is safely in the T-Room. As a result of all these extra sections,
I have had to lump the "Main Characters" and "Anchor
Characters" into one section called "Characters".
This button will take you to a sub menu that I threw together. Yes,
I am aware that the font that I chose for the buttons is diabolical
- I didn't realise until it was up. Will change when I have the
time!
19.7.01
- I have hopefully sorted out the glitch with the discussion
board - no idea what went wrong there! My sister pointed it out
to me that it didn't work (Thanks El!). Also I have learned how
to change the background so that it remains static whilst the text
scrolls over it, so I have been through the whole site and changed
it on every page.
14.7.01
- I have now finished all the main episode guides. All
that I have to do now is the episode guide for each of the Christmas
specials.
12.7.01
- At last, I have finished "Take Off with T-Bag".
All of the episodes from this series are now online with pictures.
11.7.01
- Sorry I haven't been around for a while! It has been
quite difficult to find time for the T-Room whilst I am writing
up my Ph.D. I have added a few little bits onto the T-Room, though.
I have uploaded some more images of Tallulah and Tabatha on the
Main Characters page, and, by popular request, I have added some
sketchy information about the main and anchor character actors which
can be accessed by clicking on the name of the actor/actress on
each page. I have also made the song page a little more obvious
by including a "front page" to the sounds section. As
for completing the series commentaries, I am nearly there - I have
only to write the last two "Take-Off with T-Bag" episodes,
and then I can go back and have a look for the episodes that I have
missed. Then I can start on the Christmas Specials!!!
13.5.01
- Well, I've been away from the T-Room again for quite
a while. I have been doing various bits and pieces to it here and
there, with a lot going on behind the scenes. I have been adding
more storage space to it courtesy of Tripod and I created a whole
bunch of mp3's for the songs page and uploaded them only to find
that Tripod doesn't seem to support them! I therefore went back
and recorded complete songs in poor quality sound and these should
now be available for download on the songs page. I have also (at
last) started work on the final series - "Take Off with T-Bag".
The first two episodes are up and hopefully I should get time to
do some more this week. I still need to finish off the missing episodes
from the other series, however, and do the Christmas specials, so
there is still a lot to come!
14.4.01
- Grant has sent me a tape of all of the missing episodes,
as well as a full cast list, transmission dates and the title of
each episode for those anoraks amongst us (like me!). I have added
all of the transmission dates and also the commentaries on episode
6 of "Strikes Again" and episode 6 of "Bounces Back".
5.4.01
- Well, what a few weeks it has been! I've been helping
out a pal desparately trying to clean up an old student house which
has been standing empty for 2 years and needed renovation before
it could be sold, but I'm back now and I've added the last five
episodes of "Wonders in Letterland to the "Series"
section. Sorry it's been so long! I am still working on the site,
I promise.
13.3.01
- Grant has sent me the rest of his replies to the questionnaire,
which I have included in the interview section.
10.3.01
- I have added the first five episode commentaries of "Wonders
in Letterland" to the Series section.
9.3.01
- Lee has very kindly supplied me with a copy of "Wonders
in Letterland", so I have updated and rectified the information
on it in both the Series and the Anchor Characters sections. WHOOPPEE!
:-)
7.3.01
- Grant has sent me some answers to the questionnaire,
so I have included them.
6.3.01
- The T-Room has moved to Tripod and had a complete facelift.
5.3.01
- I have added the commentaries for "Suntones"
episodes 7-10. Pictures to follow shortly.
4.3.01
- I have added the interview with Lee Pressman and Grant
Cathro.
25.2.01
- Finally, I have got back to do a small amount of updating!
Sorry I haven't been around for a while - it was a mixture of my
birthday, hefty workload, etc. I have now started to add "Sunstones
of Montezuma", and am up to episode 5! I have also noticed
that I had made 2 mistakes - The episode in "Take off with
T-Bag" with Evelyn Sweeney was not unique having 3 guest stars
- episode 4 of "Sunstones" has 3 guest stars, too. Also,
there was one more song that I hadn't remembered to include - John
Hasler singing "Marshmallow Monday" in Episode 5 of "Sunstones".
I have rectified both errors and apologise! P.S. The T-Room has
now broken it's first 1000 visitors! I'm so excited! Sorry - I'll
try to contain myself.
3.2.01
- I have now added all but episode 7 of "Rings of
Olympus" - I had a bit of an accident with it (I wrote it and
then saved the next episode over it - There's computer literacy
for you!).
30.1.01
- The T-Room has broken 500 visitors!
28.1.01
- I have added the first six episodes of "Rings of
Olympus". More to follow shortly!
21.1.01
- I have completed "The Pearls of Wisdom" synopses
and included them with the respective images in the Series section.
14.1.01
- The first four episode commentaries of "Pearls of
Wisdom" added to the series section.
13.1.01
- I have added the commentaries to "T-Bag and the
Revenge of the T-set". Images have also been added.
6.1.01
- I have added a subsection to the sounds section that
has clips of all of the songs used in the series.
5.1.01
- I have had another fit of writing and written the commentaries
of all of "Turn on to T-Bag". Pictures have been added
to most (but not all) of the episodes. I have still to capture some
images for the final episode. I've also snazzed up the old "T-Room"
logo a bit. I think it's a great improvement.
2.1.01
- I have had a major writing fit and written the commentaries
of all of "T-Bag Bounces Back". Pictures have been added
to these, as well as links to all other parts of the T-Room.
1.1.01
- HAPPY NEW YEAR! I've sorted out a few little bugs on
the site pointed out by my sister and mum (thanks mum and El!).
The links within the T-Room are now RED (what else?) so you don't
have to screw up your eyes to see them any more. Also, I've renumbered
the sounds on the sound page so that there are no longer 2 number
twos (how embarrassing that was!).
19.12.00
- Nothing new on the site, but I thought that I'd record
the date that I broke my first 100 visitors!!!!! WHOO-HOO!!!!!!
18.12.00
- You can now access any main section from any page of
the T-Room as I have included links on every page. I have decided
against including a gallery as such. I am including screen grabs
from the series from their respective episode commentaries in the
"Series" section.
14.12.00
- Whoops! Just noticed that I hadn't put actors names in
the Series section! Duh! Have rectified the situation.
12.12.00
- A few sound clips added to the Sound section. More to
follow soon.
9.12.00
- Episodes 8-10 for "T-Bag Strikes Again" added
to the Series section.
4.12.00
- My T-Bag theme tune MIDI file added to main page. This
file was arranged and mixed using and AWE64, so it may sound weird
on anything else. Hopefully it won't, however!
2.12.00
- About Me page added with beautiful (?) picture of me.
"T-Bag Strikes Again" episode guide enabled up to episode
8. Episode snapshots added to it.
23.11.00
- Guestbook enabled, What's New page added (Whoo-Hoo!),
contact address added, all links enabled (although most are still
blind-ending at the moment. I have to sleep sometime, you know!)
About Me page under construction. Hope to be finished tomorrow (not
a lot to say!)
22.11.00
- Links to Main, Main Characters, Series and Anchor Characters
enabled. Respective pages added. Series page isn't exactly easy
on the eye - will sort out....I promise!
21.11.00
- The T-Room takes to the air for the first time!!! Main
page active, Main Character page added, but no link to it, so you
can't see it...BUT I CAN (BWAHAHAHAHAAA!).
