True. I'm sure it was hugely difficult getting everything spot on. Speaking of which, why did we change our badge in the first place. Any particular reason? The badge which was based on the City Coat of Arms could not be copyrighted by the club as the City hold the copyright. That would have meant that any firm could sell shirts with that badge on it (as TOFFs still do). By creating a unique badge the club get the copyright. Cheers for that Lakeland. Was there any uproar at the time? Sounds like we sold out massively.

That and creating a simple badge dramatically cuts production costs. I've no problem with a new copyrighted badge, it's what comes in it's place is the real problem. All badges have got simpler and look poorer for it ours included.

I've only met Malcolm once at a game at half time and he was eating then, some kind of packed lunch arrangement. For some reason he tipped the entire contents of his liquid beverage over the bald pate of an irate spectator on the row in front of him. I thought for second I might witness the unusual sight of the Chairman of the Football Supporters Association "decked" by one of the people he purports to represent but the fella took a few deep breaths and the moment passed I was just overcome with nervous excitement at finally meeting you in person, Godfrey

Well worth listening to - another positive review and plenty of Stoke City mentions. Looking forward to Thursday night!

Just as side note, I've never met you Malcolm and in all likelihood never will, but whenever you post now I just think of the guy from fresh meat. I do apologise for this, but I think after Thursday, many people will be thinking the same. It must be one of the strangest feelings imaginable seeing someone else play you in a film, especially someone who, particularly for the 18-35 age range, is so well known. You have definitely made it now.

The bright green Keele students union sign doesn't feel particularly 60s to me.
What with that and thr Stoke flag maybe there is a case for CGI, eh forny?

Agreed, Rob! Malcolm has always said that a diet of chips and takeaways in his Uni days gave him the Twickers accent and air of gravitas that he has today. To be serious for a minute, to recognise Malcolm instantly (as we both did) in a scene depicting him nearly 50 years ago, shows what a brilliant job they have done of casting the characters. Like you, I had no doubt that I was looking at a much younger Malcolm Clarke in his University days. The other thing is the speed with which they have put the whole thing together - it is only a few months since we were asked to get to the Brit early to chant Neil's name - for some reason I expected it would take closer to a year to complete. I'd imagine it doesn't have many post-production special effects... There was a post on Internet Movie Database saying we'd be getting a photorealistic CGI Tony Kelly.

You have definitely made it now. It was a little odd scfcno1fan but since "I" don't do anything in the film which I'm embarrassed or ashamed about, it's fine. I said to Greg that it was odd seeing him play me, to which he replied that it was odd for him because he'd never played anyone before when the "real" person was standing at the side watching ( and if I was unhappy about the portrayal to go and see the Director, because he was only playing me how the Director told him !). My daughter put a picture on facebook of her and Greg with a "with my dad" caption which was a bit bizarre. My wife told him that "it has been great being married to you all these years" !! I confess that I hadn't heard of Fresh Meat until this happened, but GMcH looks very different in that and his character in that is a bit weird isn't he ? But of course all this is as nothing compared to Toby playing Neil with Neil watching almost every day. Not to mention Lou and Tony Curran.

Yep, his character is quite strange (to put it mildly) but he does play it very well and overall it is a very well written and funny show. I can imagine it has been quite a surreal experience all round. Just Thursday to get through and then back to some kind of normality!

He'd be delighted to meet you - he's delighted to meet anybody. And if you can play football, he'll sign you up for NBFC

Toby Jones is due on the sofa at BBC Breakfast this morning speaking about his role in Marvellous. I didn't catch what time he is due but if anyone does know (or gets to hear) perhaps they could post details on this thread.
Apparently he's due on at 08:40 (thanks to "that's our Ric")

Just seen interview with Toby Jones actor on BBC Breakfast. I may miss the film tomorrow night but cant wait to catch up. Made me quite emotional to see the clips and his love for our club and a huge smile when at the Job Centre he wanted to be a Club Manager, 'of any club' but he drew the line at Port Vale. Brilliant.

One of problem at the premieres was that the audience was laughing so much that the next line was sometimes missed. You'll need a tissue or two - both for tears of laughter and of sadness. It's not all comfortable viewing, but ultimately the man himself is triumphant, as he always is.

Toby seems a thoroughly decent chap. He was good in Frost v Nixon.

If this is posted already elsewhere, I apologise, but Toby Jones said on BBC Breakfast that he is a Stoke supporter, and welcomed the opportunity of getting immersed in the Stoke City culture! Little wonder really, because his father, Freddie Jones, who is also an actor,was born in Longton.

Shockingly bad BBC Description
"Part biopic, part musical and part fantasy, this is the inspirational and incredible true story of Neil Baldwin, a man who refused to accept the label of learning difficulties, and who has led an extraordinary life."
This wouldn't be enough for me to even bother tuning in to watch it. It sounds dreadful.

I mentioned a similar description from the daily mail a couple of pages back, they seem to be going strong on the part musical aspect.

Well there is music in it but speaking as someone who has never seen a musical, it's not a musical.

The soundtrack on the clip is Budapest by George Ezra innit? Love that song, does it feature much? Whoever chose it showed great taste and foresight, it's still in the charts.

There's a difference between having some nice ambient music and making the sequel to Joseph and his Ridiculously Coloured Dreamcoat. It's being described like a Stephen Sondheim spectacular. I just hope the actual film is about Neil Baldwin and not some cheesy storyline.
