“On the set of the Musketeers we are incredibly adolescent!We also
enjoyed making prank calls. I spent half an hour on the phone to
Clarks pretending to be a man who couldn't get his shoe off.” Tom sharing
with us how hard and serious this filming business is... ;)

You may use quotes. He's a legend and lovely and we are excited to be working together again soon.

Another Tom movie which appears to be in the pipeline is Fatlip media’s movie Animal which is a psychological Thriller. Not much is known about this movie but this is definitely one to watch out for!

Musketeers to do the Ice Bucket Challenge!
You may have noticed recently that a phenomenon has swept the globe where
previously considered sane people throw buckets of ice cube filled cold water
over themselves whilst on video. You can be relieved to know this is actually for
a good cause and the Charity is the ALS Association (ALS is Amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease which is a progressive
neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal
cord.) Luke Pasqualino has now officially nominated the rest of the boys and
hopefully they will be participating with videos posted this week! :) Please
support their insanity and impending pneumonia by donating to this worthwhile
cause. You can donate via mobile phone by text messaging ICED55 £5 to 70070
in the UK(this example would donate £5) or visit their website to find other
ways to donate.
Tom Burke Audio literary finds this week!
This week I’ve discovered some new gems that Tom has featured in. The first is
the audio book “Shamela” .Sadly Tom only has one line in it but it’s still new Tom.
The second find is “The Poetry App” which was created by the Josephine Hart
Foundation. They regularly hold poetry readings in London and Tom has done a
couple of these. Luckily for us some of the performances have made it into the
app and can be watched for free! The app is available currently on Apple’s store
for IPhones and IPads (this version currently features 3 poems by Tom along
with audio and video of the readings.) and also Google’s Play store for Android
phones, though it does install on some tablets aswell. (This version has 5 poems
on and the videos can be watched full screen.) For pc users and those who don’t
have compatible devices the good news is that a website has now been launched
by the Foundation and the videos will be posted there in a few weeks time for us
all to enjoy. (Thank you @LesleyDanks1 for the heads up on the apps!)
Tom Burke video finds this week!
As well as the audio finds this week I also had passed to me two gems to
share with you all! Firstly Shakespeare’s Globe is a documentary dvd about the
Globe Theatre and as well as being a fascinating insight into the Theatre itself it
so happens that the version of Romeo and Juliet being performed was starring
our very own Mr Burke :) It features lots of behind the scenes and on stage
footage of the cast preparing and performing the play. It is an expensive dvd
at nearly £20 however the money from your purchase does go to support the
running of the Globe Theatre. :) Huge thanks to June Wilson for passing this info
to me!
The second video find is this one for Operation Smile’s Carols by Candlelight. I
have had the photos from this 2012 event in the gallery for a while but thank you
to @Twitchtwoo for spotting this video! Xx
News on Tom’s next Project-’Gentleman of the Road’.
In the last couple of days info has been breaking on Twitter via @SamuelOatley
that Tom is working on a Pilot for a new series called ‘Gentleman of The Road’.
What has been revealed so far is that Tom is the creator, writer and will be
directing the pilot as well as acting in it. The pilot is currently being filmed in Prague
and the story will feature Highwaymen. Will update further when I hear any more
info!
Tom appearing at Carols By Candlelight event in London
Tom will (subject to commitments) be doing one of the readings
at the City Carols By Candlelight event on the 16th December at St Botolph
without Bishopsgate,Liverpool Street, London EC2. The event has been
organised by Operation Smile and tickets for adults cost £30.00 each
and children £5.00. Judging from previous events it looks to be a fun evening
and is raising money for a really worthwhile cause. Details of how to book
tickets can be found at http://www.operationsmile.org.uk/carols/
Tom in South Africa this week.
This week Tom was, along with Luke,Howie,Santiago and Maimee, in
South Africa this week promoting Season 1 of the show which launches
on BBC Entertainment in South Africa this weekend. They all participated
in Q & A sessions which hopefully will be broadcast at some point. The
cast will also be flying to Paris for a similar event on the 10th/11th
December so keep an eye out for news of this event. Huge thank you to
Reetu Kabra (@ReetuKabra) from BBC Worldwide for the info and photos.
Tom in Paris for Musketeers BBC Showcase.
Back in early December Tom was, along with Luke, Howie, Santiago, Maimee,
Executive Producer Jessica Pope and Costume Designer Phoebe De Gaye
in Paris promoting Season 1 of the show which launched on the TMC Channel in
France. They again participated in Q & A session in front of a live audience which
not only contained press but also fans of the show. Lucky fans got to mingle with
the cast at the event and judging from the photos a great time was had by all.
The cast also had the unique opportunity to meet the French actors who will voice
their characters on the TMC broadcast of the show. A huge thank you again to
Reetu Kabra (@ReetuKabra) from BBC Worldwide for supplying the info and
photos.
Operation Smile fundraising by Tom’s fans-“The Burketeers”
As I’ve already posted, Tom supports Operation Smile & attended the Carols by
Candlelight event last December(will post more about that later!). Tom’s fans
(known as ‘Burketeers’) decided that as a Christmas present we would raise
money for Operation Smile in his name. By the time we arrived at the Carols night
we had raised over £2500! We continue to fundraise for Operation Smile and our
new aim is to get to £10,000 for Tom’s birthday present on 30th June. We have
raised over £7,000 now in total (over £8000 including gift aid). If you wish to
donate ‘Smiles for Tom’ in honour of his birthday then you can go to www.Just
Giving.com/BurketeersBirthday (you can also click on the “Team Burketeers” link
if you wish to see the overall fundraising total.) Additionally you can text donations,
if you are in the UK, of £1,£2,£3,£4,5 or £10 by texting BURK81 £1(or the amount
of your choice) to 70070. Thank you to everyone who has supported this so far! Xx
