BBC Radio 5 Live film reviewers,  Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo, will be doing a live version of their popular radio show at the Prince Charles Cinema just off Leicester Square on 23 December.

The show will feature a special guest or two, and some seasonal cinematic surprises. According to their Facebook Page, one of the special guests will be Michael Sheen.

The show should be available as a podcast from about 5pm that day. However, if you live in London, you might want to try and get tickets for the event.

Thanks to @Merlange for the heads up xx

Michael Sheen was a guest on Radio 5 Live this afternoon with Richard Bacon as part of the promotion of his Passion play. If you didnt catch it, you can now as his appearance has been added to the available downloads, or by clicking below.

As part of Sheen-apalooza (as today has been renamed in M-S.co.uk Towers), and the media blitz to promote Passion, Michael Sheen was a guest on Richard Bacon’s show on Radio 5 Live.

Richard Bacon posted a couple of pics which have now been added to the Gallery.

I have finally managed to get the necessary technology to behave itself long enough to enable a download of Michael Sheen’s interview with Simon Mayo on BBC Radio Five Live that took place yesterday afternoon.

The download is available in the Download section of our Fan’s Corner.

Simon questions him about his absence from Twitter which I know a lot of you are concerned about.  His reply was

“I have disappeared for a while for a number of reasons. Partly because I have a tendency as an actor and as a person towards Narcissism. Twitter was not very good that.

I am slightly obsessive as a person too, and when I had nothing to do I would tend to do a lot of it.

I started getting told off for giving too much away about stuff that I was doing, and then I realised that journalists follow you, and anything you say suddenly turns up in newspapers, so I stopped doing it.”

When asked if he was suffering withdrawal symptoms, he said:

“A little, but now my friends actually hear from me, my real friends.”

As previously announced on here, Michael was interviewed this afternoon in the studio by Simon Mayo on his show on BBC Radio Five live.

If you missed it, UK fans can listen again with the BBC’s iplayer facility.  I have recorded the interview and will be offering this as a download later today for our over seas visitors so check back later.

UK fans can listen to Michael Sheen on the Simon Mayo show on BBC radio Five Live next Thursday (20th).  The show commences at 1.00pm but Michael is due on air around 2:30pm.

If you miss the broadcast, you should be able to listen to it on the BBC’s iPlayer facility.
