Burn stars opposite Suggs of Madness Fame in the BBC4 Radio Play Deep Down and Dirty Rock ‘N’ Roll this week. The programme is available until Saturday via www.bbc.co.uk/radio4 “Listen Again” feature if you missed it.
Deep Down and Dirty Rock ‘N’ Roll is about an aging, debt-ridden Rock Star, Ed (Suggs) and his Musical friend, Carl (Burn Gorman).
Thanks once again to Carole Brown for the heads-up!
Team GEEK is looking for items to auction off throughout the upcoming months to benefit our American Cancer Society Relay For Life Team. We have already received such things as an autographed copy of P.I. Jane along with a complete set of the P.I. Jane buttons and artwork from a local Chicago artist. Any donation is greatly appreciated.
This is not the first fundraiser Team GEEK has done for the American Cancer Society. In the past we have worked with BurnGormanOnline.com on a collaborative fundraising venture benefiting both The American Cancer Society (US) and The Teenage Cancer Trust (UK), and we also raffled off a handknitted Dalek, full weekend badges for Anime Central and tickets to Chicago theatre. This year we will also be auctioning off The Traveling Duckie (http://travelingduckie.livejournal.com), that was designed after the character The Brigadier, as portrayed by Nicholas Courtney to honor him after his passing from cancer earlier this year.
Many members of Team GEEK have been personally affected by cancer – we have lost mothers, grandfathers, grandmothers, uncles, aunts, friends, and have cheered as our fathers, uncles, cousins fight their way into remission. Having experienced how much this disease can ravage those close to us, this charity is near and dear to our hearts. The American Cancer Society provides such programs as The Cancer Survivors Network, rides to and from treatment, lodging for people who need to travel for treatment, Look Good… Feel Better, counseling, along with other programs.
Our team would appreciate anything you could donate to us. The majority of items will be auctioned off on our website (http://teamgeek.glomp.net). in a series of lots. We will reserve a couple of items to be raffled off at the Relay on August 12, 2011. Donations to the American Cancer Society Relay For Life are tax deductible, and upon request you can be provided with a copy of the tax letter for the Relay For Life Norridge/Harwood Heights event. I would like to thank you for considering helping us. Any donation you can give Team GEEK that will help reach our goal will be greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you.

A number of sites, including the ever-useful IMDB, are reporting several key locations for the filming of “The Dark Knight Rises”, including two locations in England, two in the United States, as well as shooting blocks in India and Romania.
The original source on the web appears to be Batman on Film, and includes a reasonably detailed shooting schedule suggesting that the first block will be the India one, and that it is relatively short.
MTV Splash has a more comprehensive write-up.
Still no news on the exact nature of Burn’s role, but we’ll be sure to keep you updated as soon as we have more!
Hey folks!
Yeah, its been a few months. This is Tami, your faithful BGO webmistress. I’d like to thank everyone for their kind words after my husbands passing a few months ago. Its been a roller coaster since November, getting things settled and starting life over, but things are finally settling down. Theres a new layout coming to the site, and we’re revamping quite a few things. But we have some REALLY exciting news…..
Burn has been cast in the next Batman movie! (click for link)
This is huge news, and we’ll be bringing you more information as we get it. We’re excited for him here at BGO because this is the break into mainstream that he deserves and we can’t wait to see who he’s playing (especially if its the Riddler like the article hints at).
Firstly, we must apologise for the lack of updates recently – our webmistress, Miss Tami, suffered a bereavement in the last few days and things have been a bit up in the air. Her husband, Bill, had been seriously ill for some years with kidney disease (among other things) and finally passed away in his sleep during a hospital stay.
If you would like to leave any personal messages for Tami at this time, you can leave them by commenting to this post, or send them directly to Miss Tami at webmistress@burngormanonline.com. We hope to get back to things here as soon as possible, but in the meantime, your administrator Xenutia will try her best to keep up will any new member registrations and queries that come in.
IMDB.com has listed Burn in the new Johnny English sequel, Johnny English Reborn. The character is named Slater, although little else is known at this time. The film is currently filming and is set for a 2011 release, so watch this space! Johnny English Reborn also sees Burn once more working alongside Oliver co-star, Rowan Atkinson.
We can also reveal that Burn’s character in the new Martina Cole drama, The Runaway, is Richard Gates. We’ll be back soon with a more in-depth article regarding these two new developments, so stay tuned!
A photo exhibit at the Fold Gallery in London opened this past week featuring candid shots from the backstage world of the theater. Titled “Face Off”, its a view into the often lonely world of the dressing room before a performance. Burn is featured in the exhibit by photographer Kuba Wieczorek. The exhibit runs until October 10th.
You can preview some of the exhibit via the BBC news page.
Proceeds from the sale of works from ‘Face Off’ will be donated to the Actors Benevolent Fund. Please email info@foldgallery.com for information on available prints.

Sky 1‘s newest Martina Cole adaptation, The Runaway, is featured in Sky 1′s Sneak Peek for Autumn 2010-Spring 2011. Although the exact airdate is unknown, they’re predicting January, so not long to wait!
The six-part drama has an impressive cast list, but details are still shrouded as to the nature of Burn’s role (and many others, as the majority of the press so far has been understandably focused on Alan Cumming‘s return to British TV after 15 years (it feels longer). We’re hoping to have more on Burn’s role for you soon, and maybe even a promo or two!
“Oxford Murders” is finally getting its stateside theatrical release. It appears to be a limited release at this time, but you can check sites like Fandango to see if its playing at a theater by you.
