As well as Under the Mud’s TV premiere on Monday night (BBC1, 11.50pm), star Lenny Wood was in demand as he appeared on ITV news and Billy Butler’s Radio Merseyside show!
Lenny met reporter Caroline Whitmore by the Garston gas tower where the chase scenes in UTM were shot. The interview took about half an hour before Lenny had to rush off to Radio Merseyside! Billy Butler has been a huge advocate for UTM over the years and chatted to Lenny about the TV premiere that night, as well as his other projects.
There has been a lot of interest in UTM being shown on the BBC, various websites and message boards have been full of support for the small film that’s finally making it big. It was even featured as one of The Telegraph’s TV Highlights.

The Under the Mud bus is back!
We’re going to be running a circuit of the city from 6-10pm on Light Night, the event organised once a year by Open Culture in which several of Liverpool’s cultural hotspots stay open for the evening and host special events.
We’ll be starting outside Liverpool Central Library on William Brown Street, moving on to Rockscape on Renshaw Street (also a short walk from FACT and St Luke’s), then going up to the JMU School of Art & Design on Brownlow Hill and down to the Albert Dock.
So if you want a lift around Night Light, and want to meet the cast and crew of Under the Mud, hop on the bus! Stars Lenny Wood and Mick Colligan will be in attendance, as will director Sol Papadopoulos and producer Roy Boulter (formerly of pop group The Farm). There will be laughs, songs and dances along the way, and the final bus pickup from the Albert Dock will take you to a late-night screening of Under the Mud (location TBC).
The full timetable for the bus is as follows:
Central Library, William Brown St – 18:15, 19:35, 20:55
Rockscape, Renshaw St – 18:30, 19:50, 21:10
JMU School of Art & Design, Mount Pleasant – 18:45, 20:05, 21:25
Coach Stop, Albert Dock – 19:15, 20:35, 21:45
Thanks to everyone who came out on Saturday to our Under the Mud bus day event at Liverpool One. Songs were sang, autographed posters were handed out and there was free face-painting for kids (and for some of our “Mud” team!)
We got to meet lots of lovely people as we spread the message about our film. BBC Radio Merseyside was there to interview our cast and writers for the Billy Butler show, and we’ll be putting excerpts from the show online. For now, check out the photos that we got of the event, over at our Flickr account.
