The Lord of the Rings filmmaker has also named his fee: a Dalek.

In the EW article, he reveals that he met current Who executive producer Steven Moffat over Christmas and assured him he wasn’t joking. “They don’t even have to pay me,” Jackson writes. “But I have got my eye….

Thanks to the success of Peter Macarthur’s Character “Billy McDade”  in that movie – Pink Chainsaw Productions have announced that the character is to return to the big screen.

After his appalling accident – McDade (Macarthur) has to learn to walk and dance again – a tricky enough prospect – but the trauma has left him unable to regail his friends, co-workers and almost everyone he meets of his acting exploits with Jessica Lang and  Liam Neeson to name but a few.

There must be someone out there who can gain Billy’s Trust – Someone from his past that perhaps he has already met but forgotten – Enter Jackie Bird (Played by Jackie Bird) as the tough talking news readying, psychoanalyst  who takes Billy in hand and through an amazing set of adventures manages  to rebuild his confidence, rebuilding his walking, a short timeout to rescue his kidnapped wife  Petra (Isobel MacAthur)  who was taken hostage by the militant wing of the FRA (Fearnoch Residents Association) during Airport ’13 – singing and story telling climaxing in McDades’ ultimate dance set – The Birdy Song.

Working Titles for this Film are “Bird on a Wire”, “Bridcage”, RAMBO (The forest years)

Nicola Britten, 35, (Played by Ellie Cooper)  part-time classroom assistant at primary school on Colonsay. Separated from Mark Smith, (Uncredited)  brother of other Smiths on plane!! who has an unhealthy obsession with joining the circus but Nicola needs a stable life for her and their son Benji Smith (Played by Benjamin Cooper – 2)  Nicola and Benji are on the plane to Oban  moving to the mainland.  Meanwhile – Jobbing Actor – Sam  J Jones (Played by Stephen Day – 102 ) and his tap dancing, singing best pal – Billy MacDade , 21 (Played by Peter MacArthur  are in a plane heading out of Oban with all their theatre gear ; off to do their two  man show epic  “The Producers for Two”

Taking part left to right
Benjamin Cooper, Ellie Cooper, Stephen Day, Megan Day, Peter Macarthur, Michael Wall (Debbie Day took the picture – not pictured – John Rochead hiding at the back!)

It is a peaceful day – but not for long – The two planes collide – sending Sam and Billy flying out onto the tarmac – Billy’s back is badly damaged – will he ever be able to dance again? Can he resist telling the rescue crew who is is and the love he has for the theatre?)

Anna Smith (27 played by Debbie Day) and Linda Bloggs  7, Played by Megan Day) – on their way back from the World Cup Circus Juggling Competition on Colonsay are  also on Nicola’s plane  and suffer injuries with Anna having a broken leg and Linda  getting a bit dizzy – are their juggling days over?

Pedro Lewis (18, played by Michael Wall) a world famous pigeon breeder suffers from shock and goes wandering off – can the paramedics stop him from drowning in a small puddle? If not – what will happen to his birds?

Flight Captain Gregory  Harris the XII  - the steadfast pilot with the stiff upper lip , 27  (Played by John Rochead)  holds the film together as the supporting cast (The Fire Crew from Appin & Oban), The Red Cross, Oban Paramedics, Oban Police and the Airport Emergency services rush to the rescue – But are they in time to save Billy’s magic feet?

Little do they know they are being watched by a small  crowd of people  marked with bright orange safety jackets known only as “The Observers”… just what is going on?

In reality – Peter, Ellie, Debbie,  Michael, Megan and Ben  from Oban’s Spotlight Musical Theatre Group all helped out with the Emergency exercise at Oban Airport today (27th of April)  - Steevie and Ellie felt there needed to be a bit more of a back story to the characters and their situation….

All the emergency services were in attendance and we all gave them a good workout with our acting!

Well done to all those who were involved  in what seemed to be a very smooth and efficient operation.

George and Bertie need another lady to be the third person for their performance at Ardrishaig next fri the 19th April – If anybody is interested in helping out then please contact Roddy or Colin

Roddy and Colin will be putting on their play for those members who missed it (or want to see it again) in the Guide Hall on Saturday 6th – “Curtain Up” at 7.30pm

After they will be a chance to catch up with some other Spotlight Performances….
