Samuel West - upcoming TV and My Theatre Matters

A couple of TV guest appearances to publicise the next series of Mr Selfridge: BBC Breakfast earlier today (via @BBCBreakfast) and Sunday Brunch this weekend (via @SundayBrunchC4). Mr Selfridge returns to ITV1 this Sunday.
The BBC America website for Fleming has been updated with some videos of the cast discussing their characters. Unfortunately the videos seem to be region-locked. Fleming premieres on BBC America 29 January. 

Last Sunday, Sam and Hattie Morahan performed in a reading of Codpieces by Perry Pontac at Park Theatre. The performance was sold out.

He made a speech about My Theatre Matters at the Royal Exchange Theatre yesterday, after a performance of That Day We Sang (his Twitter, @exitthelemming).

Sam drew a parrot crossbill for the National Doodle Day's celebrity auction (via @DoodleDay). The auction will take place 7 March on eBay; click here to sign up for an email alert.
