Richard turned out for the premiere of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Bollywood musical, “Bombay Dreams.” Other stars who were there for the event were Sir Michael Caine and his wife Shakira, Claire Sweeney, Sir Bob Geldof, Barbara Windsor and Elaine Paige. Many in the audience got into the Bollywood spirit by wearing saris and shalwar kameez.

Lord Lloyd-Webber’s homage to the Indian film industry has been three years in the making with a reported budget of £4.5m. To read more about the event, click here. If you want to see a short clip of the production (with a blurry REG arriving – so blurry I didn’t see if Joan was there with him?) then click here. You’ll need Real Player to see it though. Be quick as these links usually don’t last!

For those of you in the U.S. who have the BBCAmerica, look out for “The Match” which airs on 22nd Saturday at 8pm, and again at 1am, on 23rd Sunday.

Thanks to both Susan and Cath for the news.

Lastly! I have a cool missive from REG – the first of what should be an ongoing “report” in the life and times of REG, and exclusively written just for the Temple. I need to format it for the site though so it should be up here before everyone in the northern hemisphere wakes up in the morning. Stay tuned!
