I have been wanting to upload this for ages, but getting the file to convert properly so it can be played back on the website was quite a challenge, very adeptly carried out by my partner Claire.
As you know, Redemption Road was sadly never made available commercially, but we have been lucky enough to receive a copy of it. We have had permission from Tony Bluto, who made Redemption Road back in 2001, to "do what we want" with it (within reason, I presume! 
) and that includes making it available for you all to watch on the website.
Watch Redemption Road here!
Thank you once again to Tony Bluto, and to his cousin Kayleigh, for making this possible. 
Please let me know what you think of the film! If you have any trouble playing it, try pausing it for a while to allow it to "buffer" (download into your browser's memory) and then press play again.

I have just added a new video and a new audio clip to the website. The video is a trailer/advertisement that was made to promote the stage play The Priory, and the audio clip is the second and final episode of the BBC Radio 4 drama Summer Lightning:
I hope you enjoy them both!

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but I've been tidying up the site a fair bit recently, and trying to bring it up to speed with the way the web is heading.
I've added buttons for you to share individual posts on various social networking sites, e.g. Facebook and Twitter, I've made the design a bit tidier, I've changed the way the Videos and Audio Clips pages look to make it easier to find things, and I've also added some relevant polls to the sidebar. If you come across a poll, please vote in it, as it would be interesting to find out your views.
I guess you could say that most of the work I've been doing is behind-the-scenes, i.e. clearing up the database, running checks for broken links and images, re-categorising things, upgrading software, and installing plug-ins to make the site run more smoothly and reduce "bloat". I'm fairly happy with how things are now, though I'm constantly looking for ways to improve the site.
Go forth and vote in the polls!

I have spent quite a bit of time today sorting out the audio and video files which are available on the website. There are a lot of them now and the multimedia section was becoming a bit messy, so I decided to split it into sub-sections.
The audio files can now be found under Audio Clips, with the following sub-sections:
- Music (17)
- Podcasts (1)
- Radio Dramas (8)
- Radio Interviews (3)
- Radio Presenting (9)
- Radio Reviews (1)
- Snippets (1)
- Voiceovers (7)
The video files are in the Videos section, with these sub-sections:
- Fan Music Videos (3)
- Featurettes (2)
- Films (1)
- Parodies (1)
- Television Interviews (5)
I hope this will make things a bit easier to find. Additionally, I have added the long-awaited clips of the music from Tipping the Velvet, which I've been meaning to do for a long time. They can be found in the Audio Clips: Music sub-section, along with the lyrics. I hope you enjoy them.

Rachael will be appearing as Mrs Chiltern in Oscar Wilde's "An Ideal Husband", at the Vaudeville Theatre, The Strand, London, from 4 Nov 2010 – 19 Feb 2011.
More information here:

Definitely hoping to see this one as it has quite a long run over the Christmas period. The first play I saw Rachael in was an Oscar Wilde.
I will be adding more information to the website very soon.

I have just added sections to the website for Rachael's two most recent projects. The first is the upcoming feature film, starring Ewan McGregor, Emily Blunt and Kristin Scott Thomas: Salmon Fishing in the Yemen. There hasn't been much information released about the film as of yet, but Rachael herself informed us in her recent letter that she had been cast in the role of Mary Jones. The film is set for a 2012 release so it's a way off yet. In the meantime, I have bought a copy of the novel by Paul Torday, as I'd like to read it before watching the film.
The other recent project is the radio dramatisation of the P.G. Wodehouse novel, Summer Lightning. The first of two episodes aired this afternoon on BBC Radio 4, and I have uploaded this episode to the website so you can all listen to it. Rachael plays the part of Millicent, alongside actors such as Matt Lucas, Charles Dance and Patricia Hodge.
I have uploaded some new audio and videos, as follows:
That's all for now.

We have received a second letter from Rachael Stirling, after writing to her in April with another set of questions, sort of like a fan interview. We got a great reply, which you can view here: Letters from Rachael Stirling.
Some interesting new bits of information in the letter, such as news of her new role alongside Ewan McGregor, and her new-found hobby. Read it to find out, and comment here with your thoughts!
Thank you, Rachael!

A very Happy Belated Birthday to our lovely Rachael. I wonder what she got up to?
I've just added a funny little article from the Telegraph to the site. It's from about seven years ago, but I like the mention of Rachael as a possible new Doctor in Doctor Who.
Should Doctor Who be reincarnated as a Time Lady?
Obviously the role was cast long ago as the article is from 2003, but she could still be in the running for a future Doctor! What do you think? Would it be terribly controversial for the Doctor to be a woman?

I have just uploaded 60 screencaps from the fantastic feature film The Young Victoria. They're widescreen screencaps and I think you'll agree that they capture the amazingly vibrant colours, costumes and sets used in the production. It really is a splendid film and I would recommend it to anyone. Rachael's role is relatively small, though she has a fair bit of screen time, but it's an astounding film anyway and well worth a watch.

I hope you like the screencaps.

I have just uploaded 50 screencaps from the 2001 independent film Redemption Road. My good friend Kayleigh was able to get me a copy of the film from her cousin, Tony Bluto, who stars in it and also wrote it. So huge thanks to Kayleigh and also to Tony for letting us have a copy of the film, which was unfortunately never released.
We've been given kind permission from Tony to make the film available on the website for you all to watch, so I'm hoping to get that up within the next week or so. I just need to convert it to a suitable format.
Here are the screencaps:

Hope you like them!
