I must admit that I find it a little odd that so many of Rachael's films are available only in Region 1 format, especially considering the vast majority of them are British!
This is just a quick update as I need to go offline in five minutes, but I just wanted to post with news of a potential new film role for Rachael. Last night I found out about the new Matthew Macfadyen film, "Middletown". (Matthew Macfadyen is Keeley Hawes' husband, for those who don't know.) Filming will begin this month, and Rachael has been mentioned as a co-lead in the film on the profile of Michael Casey, the producer of Freeze Frame.
It makes sense for Rachael to be involved in another low-budget film (especially one produced by someone she's worked with before) so I'm going to keep a lookout for more news about this one. It's apparently an Irish production made by Green Park Films and will be directed by Brian Kirk. It has received a small amount of funding from The Irish Film Board and the Northern Irish Film and Television Commission already, and will be distributed in Ireland by Eclipse Pictures.
I've added the small amount of information I know to the site, and will update it with any news. 
I'm pleased. 
After one year of being online, Rachael-Stirling.com is finally the top search result when searching for "rachael stirling" at Google! It spent months on the fourth or fifth page and then eventually reached the bottom of the first page a few months ago, but I had no idea it had reached the top of the list. Woo!
It's nice to see that everyone's been talking lately! I must get that little message board installed so we can all use it to chat about things.
Thank you to all of you who have left messages and sent emails congratulating us on the one-year anniversary of Rachael-Stirling.com! Although the site has existed in some form since May 2003, it is only since November 1st, 2004 that the site has been located at this domain and has had photos, articles, videos, etc. It has been a lovely year and I've really, truly enjoyed running the site. Doing research for it and adding news and photos is very rewarding indeed, and I don't think I'll ever tire of it.
Also, I must give a big thank you to those of you who have taken the time to contribute to the site in any way, shape or form — either by emailing in photos, telling me news, sending me links to articles, or simply by commenting or emailing to let me know you've enjoyed your visit! I am very grateful to each and every visitor who has taken the time to acknowledge the site in some way. It makes it all worth it to know that people appreciate it.
Anyway… enough mush from me! Just one quick addition today, and that is a little photo sent in by Emily. It's only small but it's one I haven't seen before. Thanks Emily!

A grand old bag playing evil spinsters would be my idea of heaven, eventually. But for now, the more human parts interest me, and for women those roles are to be found most often in the theatre.
