Happy Hour (My Kind Of Hour)

Thanks to johnbarrowman.com (a great site, if you've not already checked it out for yourselves) we have a few little updates on John Barrowman - and a number of programmes he's set to appear in within the next couple of weeks.

On both the 24th February and the 3rd March John will be hosting the National Lottery broadcasts - and maybe, just maybe, releasing those big money balls. Afterwards, he might release the lottery balls too...

John says about his little lottery outing: "Having appeared on stages around the world, performed in a variety of leading musicals and hosting TV shows, I am very excited about the prospect of appearing live in people's homes from Lottery HQ as the latest draw presenter. Fingers crossed that I can bring luck to players and help create some new millionaires in the UK."

You can watch John host the Lotto draw at the slightly later time of 9:25pm.

No news yet on whether Myfanwy is set to host the 10th March show, but lottery bosses are said to be 'anxious' to get the star, following a rival bid from ITV's "Primeval".

Elsewhere, John is set to guest on "Al Murray's Happy Hour" on Saturday 3 March. The show broadcasts on ITV1 at 9.30pm - and thanks to jb.com we know that it'll be repeated on ITV2 the following Wednesday 9.30pm, and on ITV1 Friday 9th March.

"The show will be taped on 27 February in London and tickets may be available from http://www.tvrecordings.com/ (entry not guaranteed)."

Thanks to George, jb.com's webmaster - and John's good friend - for keeping us Woodies up to date on our favourite Captain.
