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.

Still singing Truly Scrumptious and enjoying the memory of Jessie and Gwion's performance.

This must be the most legendary performance of all the three shows....it has it's own six page long appreciation thread! That's quite impressive

With dictionary definitions to make it look high brow. That's also quite impressive!

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.

OK, equal first, then!

Had a truly scrumptious end of term lunch today, so another reminder of Jessie as we ate our strawberry parfait!

Any news of Gwion recently?

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.

Truly Scrumptious was brilliant and so cute...I sstill cry watching it! Plus I love Gwion and Jessie so it was the best partnership!

When do the rehearsals start? Or have they started already?

You know, ever since the IDA final I go through phases of just having this song stuck in my head! Lol!

Have you heard Gwion singing Bright Eyes, here?

Anyone see Jessie in Hyde Park today?

Gwion was very sweet singing on Children in Need.

Jessie is Truly Scrumptious in Night Music, too.

I am still enjoying this performance on You Tube all this time later!

Here is the link for anyone who would like a treat today!
