News Round-up: June Brown, Kimberly McCullough, DTV

EASTENDERS' legend June Brown on her Bafta nod
“The cast have been lovely. Everyone is almost more pleased than I am cause I’m a grumpy old thing really.”

June has been around showbusiness for too long to get carried away with her nomination for Best TV Actress.

She said: “I don’t believe anything is going to happen until it does, until you see your name on a paper or it actually happens and you have something in your hand. So I don’t get too excited. I have got quite a few awards already in the garage, one of them nearly flattened me. It fell off the cupboard and made a quarter-of-an-inch dent in the floor. So we are quite wary of awards, because they are heavy things.”

"I want to see the gradual process of Robin actually getting to be a mother and bond with her child. Jason and I were just on a course with some fans, and this was something that they were really adamant about.

  1. Congratulations to June Brown... Finally. :) Anyway, about the whole DTV switch thing... 3.6 million homes still on analog is still too much. There's a whole bunch of unused coupons for the converter boxes. Does that mean the people aren't using what's being given to them?
