Documentary on Coriolanus?

I wonder if this will be released seperately or as an extra on the DVD release?

Exeter graduate has the Will to succeed in the US
IT turns out that Will Young is on the verge of landing the musician's holy grail — making it in America.

Not that modest Will, a former Exeter University politics student who still has a home near the Bodmin moors, is letting on.

Will, speaking from a balcony in Los Angeles to promote a concert in Newton Abbot this summer, has just made an appearance on the US finale of American Idol, performing his biggest hit to date Leave Right Now.

And he said it's a long way from appearing at the Exeter Northcott in Oklahoma and serving up enchiladas in Harry's bar.

"I was a bit of a rubbish waiter actually," remembers Will. "You were meant to also do the starters and the puddings and, basically one night they told me don't bother, just be charming to people.

"Exeter does seem a world away sometimes. You have moments in life when it seems bizarre — it is a bit like being in a film."

Will says he owes a great deal to his time at Exeter University — an environment that encouraged him to sing and eventually audition for Pop Idol, the programme that would change his life.

It was whilst living in Well Street with three housemates during his final year in the city that he filled out his Pop Idol form, posting it in the box on the corner.

"Uni was brilliant for me, it was an amazing change in my life," he said. "I left public school and suddenly got to know a whole different bunch of people who were just fantastic. And I started signing.

"That was something I wanted to do that I hadn't done before.

"I just remember going down to campus and doing anything I could to avoid doing some work. I didn't get the best degree but I learnt a lot."

Will moved out of Well Street when he finished his exams in the summer of 2001. He started Pop Idol two months later and went on to win.

By December 2002 he was to lead the charge in a style of television competition which was to dominate television screens worldwide.

And unlike others, Will has managed to keep his profile, build on the fame, and keep his sense of humour.

"I always wanted to do this, I was very passionate about it from a young age and had a very strong sense that it was what I wanted to do," he said.

"I do think that everyone needs a bit of good luck because so often things hang on a knife edge," he added.

"That's what happened to me right at the beginning at Pop Idol. Just getting put through all the time was lucky."

However, Will admits he does plan his career.

"I think about things that I want to come up. Especially in the last couple of years, I think that I am doing stuff that I really, really love. I've been doing a documentary for the new film that Ralph Fiennes has been directing but then I have been doing my Jazz gigs, I've got a song with Groove Armada and there are these summer gigs.

"That's when I am really happy, when I am doing lots of different things. I am definitely a planner, I have two year plans. I think that is really important because then you aim for things.

"If I hit one out of five of things that I'd really like to do, then I am happy."

He is now focusing on a summer of UK concerts that include the South Devon Festival at Newton Abbot Racecourse on July 24.

Joining him will be Adrian Edmondson, The Wurzels, Joey the Lips, The Demon Barber Road Show, and The Diamond Geezers.

"Funnily enough, the first ever solo gig I did was in Devon," Will recalled. "What is great about the outdoor gigs is that you can do all the old songs and mix it up a bit — do all the old covers and some of the new songs too. Outdoor gigs leave you a bit freer to explore things musically. So obviously there will be all the old songs, but also we can have fun and find some really interesting covers."

Tickets for the 12-hour event cost £40 for adults, £2 for children aged five to 11 and under fives are free. Visit www.southdevonfestival. co.uk for information.

Interesting concept. Something they do that on the History channel too, when a film has a history behind it.
