Producer is "Over the moon!"
Quote from Rhys Thomas on winning a Rose d'Or Award for The Great Pretender documentary:"I am over the moon. Winning the Rose d'Or for what was essentially a lifelong dream and hobby, couldn't be more thrilling . This really was a labour of love for me, I wanted to make a documentary that captured Freddie's humour as well as his talent and achievements. From the reaction from fellow fans and now recognition from BAFTA and The Rose d'Or, it seems I have done something right."Thanks Freddie!Rhys ThomasAsk Phoebe - BLOG 30!

Apparently...Freddie sneaked Princess Diana into a gay club!

We love a good story over here at FM.com too...
Freddie Mercury dressed Princess Diana up as a male model to sneak her into a London gay club, it has been revealed.The revelation comes from the autobiography of comedienne Cleo Rocos' autobiography, which has been serialised in The Sunday Times. The 80's star attended the club with the couple and fellow comedian Kenny Everett.In the book, Rocos recalls an afternoon when the unlikely gang of friends were drinking together at Kenny Everett's house in London. Looking for further entertainment, the group hatched a plan to smuggle Diana into the Vauxhall Tavern in a camouflage army jacket, leather cap and dark aviator sunglasses."Scrutinising her in the half light," writes Rocos, "we decided that the most famous icon of the modern world might just — just — pass for a rather eccentrically dressed gay male model."On entering the club, she wrote: "The place was full. It took an absolute aeon to edge our way to the bar, with person after person cheerfully greeting us. It was fabulously outrageous and so bizarrely exciting. Our hearts pounded with every new leather-clad hairy body that approached, but no one, absolutely no one, recognised Diana."On we inched, through the leather throngs and thongs, until finally we reached the bar. We were nudging each other like naughty schoolchildren. Diana and Freddie were giggling, but she did order a white wine and a beer. Once the transaction was completed, we looked at one another, united in our triumphant quest. We did it!"Never has going to a bar been quite so exhilarating and fun. We then made a swift exit, a cab was hailed and we whisked Diana back to Kensington Palace. The jolly queens queuing outside unknowingly waved back as their 'queen of hearts' waved goodbye. Not a single person ever found us out."If you really want to read more head over to www.nme.comRhys Thomas: BAFTA Nomination

Phoebe reveals a Freddie favourite
Taken from the Ask Phoebe section, check out Peter Freestone's recipe for Chicken Dhansak that he used to cook for Freddie.Click here to read the latest entry - Blog 19.Chicken DhansakThis Indian inspired dish rose up the popularity stakes because it embraced two separate dishes, a dal which for Freddie was always a moistening accompaniment and a ‘curry’ meat dish which often, on its own, tended to be dryer. Living in Earls Court, both Joe and I had easy access to supermarkets where every spice known to mankind was stocked as a matter of regular principle. The area was such a melting pot of nationalities that for anyone not to have been able to buy fenugreek seeds would be for the property market in the area to plummet in value immediately!25 gm channa, 25 gm moong, 25gm red and 50 gm toor lentils125 ml oil650 gm boneless chicken 2cm cubes3 med onions2 cloves garlic410 gm tinned tomatoes1 medium aubergine chopped1 large potato chopped115 gm spinach (frozen)100 gm fresh coriander50 gm fresh mint1 teaspoon cumin seeds1 brown cardamom5cm cassia bark½ teaspoon black mustard seeds1 teaspoon turmeric1 teaspoon ground coriander1 teaspoon ground cumin¼ teaspoon ground fenugreek seeds½ teaspoon chilli powderSalt.Wash the lentils thoroughly, making sure you remove all the grit and residual husk. Soak together overnight.The following day, cook the lentils in twice their volume of water for approx. 30 minutes. While the lentils are cooking, heat the oil in a heavy saucepan and fry the meat at a high temperature for 5 – 10 minutes until browned. Remove from the saucepan and keep in a warm place.Fry the cumin seeds, cardamom, cassia bark and mustard seeds adding the onions, garlic and salt. When they have turned a golden brown, add the tomatoes and cook for about 5 more minutes.Add the remaining chopped vegetables, mix and cook for 10 minutes.Add the lentils and roughly mash everything together.Add the meat and rest of the spices. Mix well and cook gently for a further 40 minutes.Add the fresh coriander and mint and cook for at least 10 minutes.Serve with plain boiled rice.
