I hadn't remembered until I watched this and the original that the arrangement for Jessie and Gwion was different. In Siobhan's and the film version the childern sing the first half of the song to Truly and she replies before they sing together whereas Jessie and Gwion sing alternate lines from the beginning. It meant there was no need for Jessie to do lots of "acting without singing" while Gwion was singing to her. I wonder whether that's why they changed it?
Well I don't think so. It was a duet like the other Nancys and olivers did, and they were dancing. The film version was a lot longer I think, and they had the beach and everything and the bay. I think Siobhan was supposed to try and act it, to prove herself as an actress. I thought she did quite well, but the version of the song was slow and annoying, for me anyway.

It was the ending of Truly Scrumptious that was so sweet - both Jessie and Gwion looked as though they had thoroughly enjoyed the performance.

This will make me sound like a total moron, but what's a cherry peach parfey (parfe? sp? lol!)?

It's a frozen custard I think, usually comes with a fruit puree so I presume a cherry peach one has cherry and peach puree.

I could be wrong though, and I think it's spelt parfait.

Ha, I have sung the line "cherry peach parfait" more times than is healthy and I never even thought about what it was before!

I always pictured like a pastry or a custard slice but with cherry and peach flavouring... haha! I had to ask, because I was pretty certain what I was picturing wasn't right!

LaLa, this is the definition from the online dictionary!

par·fait (pär-f) n.

1. A dessert made of cream, eggs, sugar, and flavoring frozen together and served in a tall glass.
2. A dessert made of several layers of different flavors of ice cream or ices, variously garnished and served in a tall glass.

[French, from Old French, perfect, from Latin perfectus; see perfect.]

I think you're right, Jessamy. For me, it is the most legendary performance of the three shows - closely followed by Lee Mead's 'Paint it Black'.

Mmm personally I would put paint it black and scrumptious as joint first. Paint It for sheer spine tingling and hair standing on end brilliance, Scrumptious for just a completely irresistable, chemistry and feel good factor brilliance. Both completely stand out performances.

He was on a Welsh programme on S4C recently, just saying that he was excited to start rehearsals for Oliver and was enjoying the end of term at his school.
