>> I'm probably really late with this, but I thought I might add that the

>> mentioned that the role of Ted Sandyman has gone to Bryan Sargent, the
>> first Kiwi actor to have been cast so far (you can see him in
>> 'Braindead'/'Dead Alive' and he provided a voice in the NZ animated movie
>> 'Footrot Flats: the Dog's xTailx Tale'.
>> This is pretty good for the EP, who have generally been pretty behind on
>news.

>> I saw Bree yesterday and it looked awesome. The set is wooden, extended
>> onto old 2-storeyed army barracks (the site is a decomissioned fort in
>> Seatoun) - about 30-40 metres long, basically forming a graded alleyway or
>> small section of street with 'frontages on either side. Shingled roofs,
>> small windows, an arched doorway which looks to actually lead into the
>real
>> entrance of the building behind it, and some steps leading up to this. No
>> signage though. The odd thing is that there are residential houses next
>> door and a public walking track overlooking this (the set is at the foot
>of
>> a hill), so for the moment it's been quite easy to get a look at what's
>> going on there - I imagine this will be closed pretty soon though!
