Hello Fellow Undead Very Much Alive Artists

Dead chuffed to be part of this blog for Voodoo Word Circus: The Dead That Never Lived in June 2008. VWC is the brain child or Monkfish Productions are we delighted to be working with Ross as our poet in res on this piece.

MMM....You guys are well ahead of me in your work already. I think that the idea of dead soap stars in parallel with events in the real actor's lives is really interesting and I think this would be a really interesting idea to germinate....

I remember when the actor Bill Owen died, the Sun ran a front page headline that read 'COMPO IS DEAD', which I thought was a bit strange and insensitive. But then, none of the readers wanted to mourn the real guy. It was the idea of him, and his character, that they cared about.

In a similar vein, I think the mirror went for on the front page to announce the decision to kill of Victor Meldrew (must have been a slow news day) with the headline: I DON'T BEREAVE IT
