Anna Friel (also known as Chuck) has also been involved with a project named 'Theatreland' promoting her appearance in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' as Holly Golightly on the West End stage in London.


She had a chat to GMTV [above] and had an exclusive interview in last months Sky Magazine , as well as appearing on the front cover. But can Anna Friel fit in the shoes of Holly or was Audrey Hepburn [below] a better choice? We wanna hear from you in the comment box below.

A Different Type Of Cod

Hello Aquacade readers,

To start us of I have the announcement that Emerson Cod aka. Chi McBride won the 'Best Male of Pushing Daisies' award in our weekly poll. He beat Lee Pace , Field Cate and Jim Dale to the title , they are also known as Magic Ned , Young Magic Ned and the guy with the big voice (The Narrator).

Bored now Daisies is no longer on ABC or ITV1?
So is Emerson Cod ...


but he does have his trusty Gum Shoe book to keep him going ... and there's always the knitting ...









Meanwhile , Den of Geek , have uploaded a rather cool-ish look at the Designs and Sets of Pushing Daisies :

''We don't always know what we've got till it's gone. That expression is true of many things in life including how we choose to entertain ourselves in what dwindling free time we have.
For some of us, some of that time was spent with Pushing Daisies and it was good times, indeed. While it lasted. The comic fantasy show about a man who could resurrect the dead temporarily to help find their killer only ran for a precious 22 episodes across two short seasons. It's probably best known for being another show created by Bryan Fuller that didn't last nearly as long as many would have liked. But one man does not a perfect show make and there were clearly exceedingly clever people in various departments contributing to the uniqueness of the program.''
