It will be good news for people to learn, I am sure, that after a well-deserved break from the Prisoner scene Hazel Prosser is well and truly back in the loop and ready, willing and able to organise more of the excellent events we have come to expect of her. These events, as anyone who has attended one will readily certify, have always been very popular, well organised and great value for money. But with the 30th Anniversary celebrations behind us now and with the passage of time, itself, it has obviously become more difficult to get members of the cast to fly over (often at short notice) to meet and entertain us.
I can reveal, however, that Hazel is currently in talks with an original cast member and that the prospects of a spring/summer event is very much on the cards. The cast member in question is eager to come over and Hazel is just as eager to make all the arrangements on his/her behalf, so it’s now just a matter of finding out how viable the prospect is and if enough of you want to make it happen. As with any event of this kind, it all hangs in the balance. The interest is there and now it’s just a question of the practicalities. If enough of you want to make it happen, then I’ve no doubt that it WILL happen. If any of you wish to find out more about this intriguing prospect, then do please contact Hazel directly at the following email address:
Events like these are, of necessity, getting more and more scarce. The big celebration is behind us, the original cast members are now reaching that time of life where they no longer wish to travel and the financial climate is such that the cost of organising said events has triggered a general apathy in all concerned. In short, then, although these events are still very much on the horizon, each may well be the last of its kind. It is important that we are no longer blase about the events, because they will not – and can not – continue ad infinitum. There is now a very real possibility that every cast member’s visit will be his or her last.
If, therefore, any of you do want to meet any of the cast members who come over, this may well be your last chance to do so. I have been reliably informed that many of the original cast are making their next trip to the UK their FINAL trip to the UK. I really can’t stress this enough. It’s easy, in retrospect, to look back on an opportunity missed and to regret it … so if you are genuinely interested in meeting any of the cast who visit our shores, then do – if circumstances allow – grab the opportunity with both hands. There may well not be a second chance.
If any of you wish to discuss anything about possible future events with Hazel, then please do contact her direct through the above email address.
She will be able to give you further information as to the original cast member with whom she is currently in talks and can tell you a lot more than I can about the possibility of future events. If you have any further questions pertaining to associated matters, then I’m sure she will only be too happy to answer your queries on these, too.
