BBC Television 'Best Of Friends' Visit Norfolk UK
May 02, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Entertainment News
Norfolk's Constantia Cottage Restaurant was the setting for prime time BBC Television series 'The Best Of Friends' last Friday - The 15 strong crew visited the North Norfolk Village of East Runton for one of their surprise stunts. 4 hours of intense filming featured a self penned tune by The Constantia Brothers and a Syrtaki dance by their sister Maria. The Brothers proved to be a smash hit in more ways than one with a spectacular finale of traditional Greek plate smashing. Attractive TV Presenter, Rani, joined in the fun with high kicks, music and mousaka.
Cromer's singing brothers will be screened on BBC1, BBC2 and Sky channels in september. The programme will also cover Cromer crab dressing courtesy of Richard and Julie Davies in Cromer, caught by the shop's own boat.
The Constantia Brothers were thrown back into the International Television spotlight last month with a major TV documentary that was screened world-wide via the PIK Channel in Cyprus.
A spin off was inevitable when a 'Best Of Friends' researcher visited the brothers a week later to plan filming. 'It's so strange that we are getting a sudden influx of publicity' said Andreas 'Entertainment is such an unpredictable area. We thought we had decided to take a back seat to concentrate on song writing a few years ago but we are still very much in demand as a performing outfit'
The Brothers have had a spate of successful appearances and song releases over the years including backing tracks for the Athens Olympics that were aired by the BBC during the games.
A string of projects are now planned throughout 2006 as East Runtons irrepressible entertainment's phenomenon continues to move forward.
