I've just added new images of theatre programmes, flyers and other publicity material to the theatre listings for Boeing Boeing, The Taming of the Shrew and If There Is I haven't Found It Yet, all from the Very Gomez private collection. Yes, that means they're mine ;)

In other news, I believe I may have finally, at long last, solved the mystery of "Pinkerton Files"!! That is, I have found a programme that fits the bill perfectly. I'm still looking for proof that it is the Michelle Gomez early work I'm searching for so I won't say any more until I've confirmed it.

I'm very excited to have received my first copy of the Missy comic! I love this cover (variant A by Busian), I find it very appropriate and appealing to my sense of humour that Twelve, Thirteen and Dharwan!Master are knocked over and the expression on Missy's face is perfect! I must admit however that I haven't read it yet as I like it too much to remove it from its protective cellophane. I do have another cover variant on its way to me so I shall probably read that one instead.

I've been meaning to point this out for a while but if you've visited before you may have noticed that Very Gomez ...

Just a quick progress update as I've been beavering away!

I have now completed Michelle's Radio credits to the best of my present knowledge. There will be images and clips added at some point but that's further along the line. Additionally I've added a selection of recent Podcasts which I will build on over time and I've added improved previous/next pagers wherever appropriate across the site for easier navigation.

The Screen section is coming along steadily. This is the database of Michelle's film and television credits and ...

Very Gomez was created primarily to collate and present my research into Michelle's theatrical career after I realised that an Excel spreadsheet just wouldn't cut it, but if I can grow it into a hub of All Things Michelle Gomez, even better! Over the coming weeks I will start adding details of Michelle's other work, including TV, film and radio. This is clearly going to be an epic task so I'll be taking it a bit at a time and I may change my mind about certain aspects along the way.

So if you visit this site and find things disjointed, orphaned or even broken, please be patient with me. I'm ...

I've now added a section for Trivia related to Michelle and her career. There are just a small few snippets right now to start it off but, as with everything else on this site, it will develop and grow with time. I don't intend to provide any evidence with trivia items as it's intended to be a quick dumping ground for random details, many of which are found only incidentally to other research. However, if you believe something is factually incorrect, please let me know via the contact page and we can compare sources.

I hope you enjoy it!

I'm very excited to have found this online resource by the University of Glasgow.  Thanks to their detailed Scottish Theatre Archive index I have been able to add several new venues and dates for The Android Circuit tour. Further searching late into the night revealed that, as well as extensive documentation from that production, the archive also holds the production file for Cavalcade and photographs from Merlin - The Search for the Grail.  They also hold programmes for various other of Michelle's productions.  Under normal circumstances it seems there might be a chance of requesting copies ...
