First episode of Series II on the Sunday 19th February at 9.30 p.m. BBC1 (UK TV)  I am so proud to be part of it.   I think this is the first time for a Downs Syndrome character to be in a major costume drama.  Thanks to Heidi Thomas I get to play a character who becomes more confident and glamorous as time progresses.  The war will make a lot of difference to peoples’ lives.  Hope you enjoy it best wishes Sarah Gordy

Had a super time today met Andrew Billen and Jonathon Bradley journalist and photographer from The Times, nice lunch.  There should be an article in The Times on Tuesday 14th February.  What fun.

Hi,

I am so pleased to be in ‘Resurrection’ on BBC Radio4.  The People’s Passion is the Easter Programme including music, services, talks and five plays from Monday 2nd to 6th.  ‘Resurrection’ is the last of the five plays on BBC Radio 4 at 2.14 pm UK time on Good Friday 6th April 2012.  If you miss it you can go to the BBC website and hear it on i – player.

Filming more scenes Upstairs Downstairs next week.  The story is getting really exciting I am so happy.

best wishes, Sarah Gordy

What fun ‘Sarah Active’ on Youtube has got over 25000 hits.  Also looking at clips I realise I was larger then.  I am now down to 8 stone (112lbs) I am doing some filming for TV to be shown next year.  The costume designer is lovely and I understand I am getting a stunning dress so I am working out every day.  Not much I can say right now, a new radio play has been taken up by a BBC producer and in ‘commissioning’.  Another writer is doing research with me on another project.  This has an historical setting and will be very unusual.  Hope you are busy and having fun. best wishes Sarah

To those who have emailed Sarah about TV in 2012.  The answer is ‘Yes’ sorry cant say more yet.  Thanks so much for all the love and interest, Sarah is having a great time and is very fulfilled.

Very exciting.  I play Jasmine in a short film called ‘Jasmine’.  It is part of a competition and the public can vote for their favourite film.  All the films are good but I hope you vote for our film ‘Jasmine’.  Natalie Gavin plays my sister and she is brilliant, we will be seeing her for the first time on TV soon in a major role in a new series.  Voting closes at 10 pm on 31st August and the winner will be announced at BAFTA on 7th September 2011.  To see the film and vote please go to http://filmlondon.org.uk/best_of_boroughs/jasmine  I hope you like it and thanks if you have voted for us.  I have my fingers crossed.

Have just finished filming a new campaign film for Mencap which was great fun.  Mencap has just learned that the previous film I did with them ‘Getting It right’ won ‘Best Campaign’ award so they are pleased with me!  Thanks everybody for your emails they are very encouraging, cheers, Sarah

Starting on a short film called ‘Jasmine’ this week.  It is part of the Film London/Southern Exposure Film Fund.  I am very excited by this little jewel, the people involved and the attention to detail I think will result in a winner.  Good story.  More later.  cheers sarahg

Well done Richard Bailey, photographer.  Richard won second place in the Sony world wide photographic competition with his ‘After Vermeer’ photographs of Sarah.  To quote Richard ‘ the pictures I took of Sarah were projected onto the cinema screen as big as a house with the music ‘You’re Beautiful’ by James Blunt playing.  It sent goosebumps all over me.  There are also three of the images on display at the exhibition at Somerset House, London’  How lovely thanks Richard.
