James Tanner

James Tanner (born 1976 in Kent) is a British chef and television personality. He currently appears on the BBC cookery programme Ready Steady Cook.

After studying hotel management he worked in the kitchens of several well-known restaurants, often with his older brother Chris. He worked his way up through the ranks until he was invited by the Roux brothers to move to the US and work in upstate New York, where he was Chef de Partie at the Lake Placid Lodge. Within four months he was promoted to junior sous chef.

He worked his way up the ranks and on returning to England took a job under Martin Blunos at the two Michelin-starred restaurant Lettonie in Bath before a head-chef role at Right on the Green in Kent.    In 1999, aged 23, James and his brother Chris opened Tanners Restaurant in Plymouth.

James' television career began in 2002 when he and brother Chris made their first TV appearance on a competition called 'Chef Stars', a promotion run by UKTV Food and broadcast predominantly on their flagship show Good Food Live (more recently known as Great Food Live). The brothers didn't make it through to the final, but they made an impression.   James became a semi-regular guest on Great Food Live which was shot at the same studios as Ready Steady Cook. He was recommended to audition for the show and duly became a regular. At the heart of his style during his TV appearances is the repetition of his catchphrase "Like so", used in order to make various culinary techniques seem easy, encouraging members of the public to give them a try, and also to assuage viewers' fears of unfamiliar ingredients, as well as "dig down deep". Many feel that his influence on the Great British Public's attitude towards cuisine rivals that of his peers Jamie Oliver and Ainsley Harriott.

James also continues to appear on Saturday Kitchen and Great Food Live (now cancelled).

William Moseley / Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian

With the release of The Chronicles of Narnia : Prince Caspian I am going to focus on the star.  William Moseley

Prince Caspian, like the first Chronicles of Narnia, is visually stunning – from the locations where the movie was filmed, to the sets, to the costuming.  The actors and actresses, musical scores, and Aslan's voice all contribute to the continuity.  The four Pevensie children have been back in London a year in the story-line, and while the younger two children have matured, you get the sense you've just left them at the end of the last movie.

Andrew Adamson, the writer and director said in an interview, “This film is probably a little darker and grittier than the last one, partly because the children are older, making the story more adult in nature.”  This also comes through in the movie dialogue where the dwarf Trumpkin warns Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy “You may find Narnia a more savage place than you remember.”

William Peter Moseley (born April 27, 1987) is an English actor. He is best known for starring as Peter Pevensie in The Chronicles of Narnia film series. Previously, he played a small role as Forrester in a 2002 television version of Goodbye, Mr. Chips.

Moseley was born in Sheepscombe, Gloucestershire, England in the Cotswolds. He has wanted to become an actor since he was ten years old. William is the oldest of three children. He has two younger siblings called Ben 1992 and Daisy 1989.William attended Wycliffe College and Marling School in Stroud.

Lily Allen and friends Show with Syncsta

The Syncsta Boys - YouTube Heroes Confirmed for show two - 19th Feb 2008 10:30pm on BBC Three This week's YouTube heroes are Jake and Chris, also known as the Syncsta Boys.

Chris and Jake were guests on BBC3's Lily Allen Show where they performed a version of Mika's 'Grace Kelly' in crop-top t-shirts and gold hotpants

Christian Cooke

Anyone that has watched Echo Beach cannot fail to notice Christian Cooke, he plays Brae Marrack.

“Brae is Daniel Marrack’s son – he runs the diner and surf shop along with his dad. And his main through-line is trying to be with Jackie.    “I’ve had a wicked time filming in Cornwall. Everyone was cool and had something to share and bring to the table in terms of who they were as a person. Ed’s a really close mate now - we agree on certain things and we’ve got the same sort of values.

And Jason is great to work with. I didn’t know what to expect but I can’t hear a bad word said about him - he is brilliant and he worked so hard. And Hannah – it’s only her first job, but she’s come on so much and the camera loves her. It really is a great bunch of people.

“A lot of spontaneous things happened with the cross over of the two shows. I’d be outside having a coffee and someone from Moving Wallpaper would say, “We’re doing a scene - could you be in the back of it?” I remember there was one where Jonathan Pope comes out of the production office and, as he finishes a phone call on his way into the studio, he comes up to me, shakes my hand and says “Loving your work”. And it’s completely improvised just because I was there. But it’s great to do stuff like that – you feel like you’re doing ‘proper work’. In episode two of Moving Wallpaper, when I had to scream my head off because they are trying to make me have a shave, the director said “We’re just going to turn over the camera: shout for about 10 seconds, throw this bin and then shout a bit more - do whatever you want”. So I just did it and it ended up being really funny.

“There were a lot of cool people in Cornwall. I think Newquay town itself is probably about 20 years out of date, but it’s a cool place to be. Everyone is laid back and chilled out, and there was a good atmosphere. I did a bit of surfing, just paddling out and getting little snapshots for montage sequences, but I nearly drowned. I got caught in a rift and was being taken out. I was trying to swim in and it took me about fifteen minutes to get back to the beach. I’m definitely not a good surfer! Despite that, I love being down on the beach. I’ve never worked in that environment for such a large amount of time so it was good to get time to spend by the sea and be paid for doing it!”
