Hello everyone. Apologies for letting the news section become the 'old news' section.
Happy to say that 2011 has been very busy with series 10 and 11 of the Real Hustle been filmed up in Glasgow for the most part of the year. Series 10 has already been out and series 11 will follow early in 2012. Will there be more Real Hustles with the new team? Who knows, at the moment series 11 is being cut together and people are very excited as it's all looking very promising.
This year also saw my first solo project. In between the two series of Real Hustle I managed to film a documentary for the BBC about gambling addiction. It's called GAMBLING ADDICTION AND ME : THE REAL HUSTLER. It will broadcast end of January beging of February 2012 and its all about gambling addiction. My father suffered of gambling addiction which turned him onto fraud to fund his gambling and landed him in prison. In the documentary I travel to Las Vegas, Athens and all over the UK to try and find out what it is that makes this addiction so difficult to walk away from. It was a tremendous experience which opened my eyes to many things about gambling and the gambling laws in this country.
Always nice to end the year witha bit of fun and this year like the previous one I started working on The Magicians 2 for BBC ONE. It has been so much fun designing and filming some truly brilliant magic effects. I cannot wait to see the show go out live in the new year.
What does 2012 bring? Well, we shall have to wait and see.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.
Alexis
