An Exclusive DVD Announcement!
So, the question on everyone's lips is, "Will Tim be releasing a DVD of his Orchestra show?" Well, I guess now's the time to reveal the answer, with a resounding YES!
The DVD is being recorded at the two Royal Albert Hall gigs later this month (if you've still not got a ticket, there are some left for the 29th…) and will be available in the UK later this year. If the details in the lovely, shiny pre-order list below are to be believed, it'll be released on the 14th November, though that may be subject to change.

If you're in Australia, you'll be getting the same DVD (for a change!) at around the same time, though we've no links for you to pre-order it yet, unfortunately.
A Brief List of Upcoming UK TV and Radio Appearances
People of the UK, we hope you've missed hearing Tim's dulcet tones over the radio, or seeing his big face on your televisual box, as there are some forthcoming events of that variety this very weekend!
On Saturday, Tim will be on Christian O'Connell's Jon Holmes's Radio 5Live show sometime between 9am and 11am, shortly followed by an appearance on Vernon Kay's Radio One show.
The next day, Tim will be on Something for the Weekend on BBC2, 10am - 11:30am, cooking up a treat alongside Arlene Phillips! If you've got anything you'd like to ask him, the show are appealing for questions via [email] or [Twitter]
There are also rumblings of a live session on Absolute Radio, which will be recorded on the 14th (air date to be confirmed), to which you can [win tickets], and also Ruth Jones's Easter Treat. If you hear of anything we've not got a thread for, in our [Tim and the Media section], feel free to start one for us!
America, Fuck Yeah (Seattle specifically)!
And today's headline is an example of why you don't write things on only a few hours sleep (we're so professional here).
Just a heads up to people in and around the Seattle area that Tim will be doing a show at The Neptune Theatre on 24th June 2011.
Tickets go on sale on Friday, or there's a presale, which starts tomorrow, with the password 'band'.

Tim Minchin vs SSO - Live on ABC2!
Aussies, did Tim's orchestra show sell out too quickly for you to be able to grab tickets for yourself?
