30 APRIL 2009 : A message from Peta...

Hi everyone,
I'm really happy to meet you all and so glad to be part of the web and now also Facebook! Now, I have a whole new bunch of friends! I have been looking at some old "Prisoner" footage and the show really was ahead of it's time. No punches were pulled, no one wore makeup... This horrified me of course and the make up ladies, poor souls, had to keep scraping it off my face. I'm not as vain these days. Mercifully!!!
At the moment I'm working on a Cabaret show with my Dad and brother who are both great musicians and the whole concept was an idea by David Penfold, a very talented friend!
I'm back at singing lessons and loving it. I hope you'll all come and see it once it's up and running!!! Lets keep in touch so I can let you know what I'm up to! Lots of love, Peta xxx"

"I would like to thank Brian McDonald..... "my Cyber Angel". Thank you dearly to; Amanda Muggleton, Val Lehman, Carol Burns, in fact the whole Prisoner cast and crew and my gorgeous buddy Kerry Armstrong! I would also like to thank everyone who gave up their time and contributed something to my website. I feel really blessed to have you all working so hard to make this happen; Sean Chadwick and Jessica Terril of RiSH Media & Publicity, Carl Clarke for his wonderful Biography on Karen Travers (written specially for my website), Robert Ivory (multimedia whizkid) and Stephen West (for the Prisoner stills!).
