News has arrived from the set of The Lady of Shalott, a new film being made in Lincolnshire, Tennyson's birthplace.

The first exciting piece of news is that they have found their Tennyson! The production is a community effort, and Lincolnshire-native Ben Poole (last picture) will be playing the role of the famous Poet Laureate.

Next week, filming will be done in the Tower of Shalott, and, thanks to Pauline, I will hopefully have more exclusive images!

And another wonderful piece of news...the film will be available on DVD once it's completed!
