Amber To Perform As Part of Retrospecs Online Show This Sunday 28th of June

6/24/2020

Picture
Amber announced a few days ago via Twitter that she will be performing in the first RetroSpecs this Sunday, 28th of June.
 
This is the first in a series of online shows, RetroSpecs sees a group of actors perform a spec script. These are sample scripts for popular TV shows written by professional writers who were at the beginning of their careers. Spec scripts were common in the US television industry for many years.
 
In this performance the cast will be reading a spec script for Buffy the Vampire Slayer written in 2002 by Julie Plec who would go on to be the creator and showrunner for supernatural series The Vampire Diaries amongst others.
 
I'm excited to hear this script which will be a story from the Buffyverse that very few people will have heard before. As many of you will know Amber is a former Buffy the Vampire Slayer cast member herself having played the role of Tara Maclay for three seasons. Amber is an amazing actor and I’m sure it will be thrill for Buffy fans to have a former cast member bringing character(s) to life.
 
Joining Amber in the cast will be:
 
Isabella Gomez from One Day at a Time
Percy Daggs III from Veronica Mars 
Arielle Kebbel Ballers/Midnight Texas, and more
David Anders iZombie and The Vampire Diaries
Lexi Underwood from Little Fires Everywhere
 
As I mentioned earlier RetroSpecs is an online event that will take place on the House Seats website which aims to bring live shows from theatre and comedy clubs to people via the Internet while supporting good causes. Proceeds from RetroSpecs will go to Color of Change the USA's largest online racial justice organisation. To find out more about their work click here.
 
The event will also benefit The Writers Guild Foundation a non-profit organisation that aims to preserve and promote the history and craft of writing for the screen. To find out more about their work click here.
 
RetroSpecs will take place on Sunday, 28 June at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET which is after checking again time today 28/6/20/ midnight UK time.
 
The House Seats website have also said RetroSpecs will be available for 48 hours after the event to view on demand for anyone who has purchased a ticket.
 
To find out more and to get your ticket for what I think is a unique event click the link below.

Channel 4 Is The New Home Of Buffy The Vampire Slayer On UK Television From 1 June

6/3/2020

Exciting news for Amber Benson fans, Buffy the Vampire Slayer has a brand-new home on UK television with free to air broadcaster Channel 4 from 1 of June 2020. 
 
In a deal agreed with The Walt Disney Company all 7 seasons will be available free on Channel 4’s streaming service All 4 on demand on line or via All 4 App, as well as every weeknight on E4 the broadcaster’s free to air digital channel.
 
This will give Amber fans the chance to see her in the iconic and much loved role of Tara Maclay who made her debut in "Hush" (season 4). Buffy is still an iconic television show and much loved by audiences.
 
Buffy is still attracting new generations of fans even today so with this in mind if you are a first-time viewer there will be some spoilers below.
 
Amber played Tara Maclay for 3 seasons. Her shy smile, honesty, and loyalty made a her big hit with fans. Amber's dramatic exit from the show in 2002 was extremely controversial, especially among the LGBTQ community, and still provides a big talking point for fans to this day. 

Tara & Willow (Alyson Hannigan) were the first long term openly gay couple on a US network television show. Amber played the role of Tara with both honesty and sensitivity, which earned her much deserved praise. The role had a big impact on her life, and Amber continues to support the LGBTQ community.
 
Whether you’re a long-time fan like myself or new to the show you can access seasons 1 to 7 on demand via streaming service All 4. Simply sign up free or if you’re an existing user login at https://www.channel4.com and start streaming. To watch via your mobile device you can also download All 4 App for IOS and Android.
 
Buffy is also being shown every weeknight on E4 from the very beginning. Sorry I wasn't able to post this update prior to 1 June. The good news is with All 4 you can catch up on any episodes you’ve missed. E4 is available on multiple free to air and pay TV platforms, check digital channel guides and your provider for details.
 
To read Channel 4’s official announcement of the news and more details of the deal click here.
 
I'm pleased that long time fans and new viewers will have the chance to watch Amber in her most famous role on TV in the UK again, enjoy everyone.

Convention organisers Wales Comic Con are giving fans another chance to see Amber's appearance at WCC Live on demand.
 
Covid 19 continues to affect people worldwide so last month UK convention organiser’s Wales Comic Con held an online “Comic Con” style experience. Here guests and fans from around the world participated live online via their computers and mobile devices.
 
WCC Live featured a number of different panels from a host of popular TV shows and films including Buffy the Vampire Slayer of course. Amber was joined by her fellow Buffy co-stars:

All of whom were generously donating their time for free with any and all profits from the event going to support the NHS in this difficult time.
 
To view the panel on demand head to Twitch.com/walescomiccon and sign up for an account or use your existing account details to sign into the Twitch video sharing platform. Then click subscribe, the cost of the subscription is £4.99 per month.

The panel is a must see for any Amber/Buffy fan as Amber and co discuss life in lockdown and share their experiences and memories of what it was like to be part of the Buffyverse. There are some brilliant behind-the-scenes stories and a lot of laughs too, I can highly recommend it.
