Silver Street

In response to some of your requests for more information about our cast and behind the scenes gossip we've created the SILVER STREET SPY.

We'll update you regularly via the message board in this thread with info about what all the guys are up to outside Silver Street, where you can see them on TV, Cinema or Theatre.

We'll let you in behind the scenes and give you sneak previews of what's coming up soon. So watch this space for all the insider gossip!

Hey! Did you see Alex Caan (Sameer) in Ultimate Force with Ross Kemp on ITV1 on Sunday 18th May? He played Hassan, an al-Qaeda leader.

Unfortunately we all missed it because although Alex filmed the episode ages ago it was shelved at the time because ITV thought it was too controversial. Even Alex missed it, he had no idea it was being broadcast after all, so we'll just have to wait for the repeats!

Did you know that Ivana Basic who plays Snezana in BBC1's Casualty played a prostitute, Miloska in Silver Street in May 2007. Kamal was desperate for someone to talk to and he ended up seeking solace in Miloska's arms!

Catch dodgy Brian Kavanagh in a very different guise on in the current Woman's Hour drama 'Jane and Prudence' on BBC Radio 4 Monday to Friday at 10.45am (rpt at 7.45pm).

Gerard McDermott plays Fabian, a good looking but shallow widower who Jane fixes Prudence up with. Unfortunately though they both have their sights set elsewhere. Hmm, maybe not so unlike our Brian after all!

Hey Bev all of this is Fantastic I got some spare time perhaps I can do some things for Silverstreet Media is my area

Yes regarding Alex I saw him in that, the episode was done in 2005, it was a very one too.
I thought it was on at the time?
The episode was very well written.

I wrote a similar story for an exam once

Hey, I just caught up with Bal Sopal, the lovely Simran, who tells me she won't be around for a few weeks as she's going on tour with a play called Mela with the West Yorkshire Playhouse in Leeds. They open on the 28th of June in the Courtyard Theatre until July 12th. After Leeds you can catch it at either the South Street Arts Centre in Reading on July 15th/16th or the Drum Theatre in Birmingham on July 17th/18th. It's part of the Northern Exposure season, celebrating new writing in the North.

'It’s summer and the Mela is just hotting up. The whole town is there: Troy, just back from Iraq and trying to be the model British soldier; his old friend Ranjit ready for a display of Sikh martial arts; and Sajjad and Mariam exchanging barbed comments over his Al-aqsa mosque calendars and her hand-made pottery.

Watching them all as they go about their separate lives is Angela, as an unexpected explosion throws together old friends and even older enemies.'

If you go and see it let us know what you think!

Rakhee Thakrar who plays Roopa Chauhan will be appearing in THE RISE & FALL OF CHUNGENLAL JOSHI at The Drum in Birmingham on Fri 13 Jun, 7.30pm.

For those who can go to see it, Rakhee is playing a much older character than the teenage Roopa in Silver Street.

Noted as the Alf and ‘Silly Old Moo’ Garnet of the British Asian community, The Rise and Fall of Chugenlal Joshi is a vibrant, hilarious and poignant view of the lives of the increasingly elderly community in this country. Dissolution fights with aspiration, begrudging love with outspoken feelings as Mr and Mrs Joshi face their twilights years together. Follow their journey as they both attempt to fulfil very different dreams, will they make it? Or will they fake it?
