Bracing Ourselves!

The Amazing Adrenalini Brothers are waiting in the wings this weekend... preparing to launch themselves out of a cannon straight onto Cartoon Network in the UK. YAHZAA!! The fun begins on Monday the 12th of March at 3.30 (rpt 7.30). There will be 3 shows playing in a half hour block every weekday from now on.

The lovely people at Cartoon Network have done a great job of making promos - which included building the tour bus in wonderous 3D! As well as making an Adrenalini page for the Cartoon Network site.

And as if you needed more excitement in one post - the latest Cartoon Network Magazine is packed from front to back cover with Adrenalini mayhem - a competition, fun facts and a double spread poster. And Kraze Club Magazine is also running the 4th comic strip "Hotdog of Audacity" - where Enk meets King Kong, via a squirt of ketchup, a spurt of mustard and few flaming onions rings!

Filming the Voice Record

Nick Ostler - Adi, Dan Chambers - Xan, Mark Huckerby - Enk

I went down to Brighton last Friday to document the final voice record for "The Amazing Adrenalini Brothers!" A historic occaision filled with Yahzaa's, Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee's, and the odd Gumbux! The voice artistes crammed into the sweaty booth in a former bank vault near the Brighton seafront for the final time on this series.

I don't normally go to the voice records so it was great for me to see what goes on down there. Now I know how Mark manages to get Enk's squeaky high pitched squeals (Ouch!!) I even got to perform a line for one of the bystanders in 'Mission of Impossibility' - "He's turned that bus into a sausage!" It only took about 20 takes to get it right!

We also had the privilege of having Olly Smith come and do the voice of "Baron Von Badguy". He is a close friend of Mark, Nick and Dan and performed the voice of the Adrenalini Brothers' Dad in the short 'Box of No Return!' as well as several others in the 7 minute series. Olly has found recent fame as TV's wine expert now presenting on The Richard and Judy Show. He came straight from a filming dressed in tuxedo with a bag full of booze - Nice!

Olly Smith in action!
