Hellloooo,
Yes. Yes. The rumours are true: the wait is almost over. Hold the front page and listen closely if you're interested in auditioning for Season Two of the Cut... Because THERE IS NEWS, PEOPLE. NEWS!
Before I divulge (oooh, fancy word), could I please just draw your attention the following things that have been happening in the World of The Cut? Yes? Why thank you.
1. You can totes watch Week 5 on iPlayer right now, right here. And the best part? You can watch it as many times as you want. Well, that's my social life gone then.
2. In The Cut Special this week, I found out all about the closed auditions for Season Two and got some tips from the casting director about how to audition. This may come in handy for what I'm about to say next...
Ready...?
Okay, basically, if you're interested in starring in The Cut then you need to be listening to Switch with Annie and Nick tomorrow (Sunday 31st) from 7pm on Radio 1... cos they're gonna tell you how to sign up for the open auditions!!
And want some gossip?? We're totally looking for TWO characters - one boy and one girl. EEK! Could it be you?
Listen in tomorrow night - Radio 1, 7pm. And don't forget to check back here after, as a certain someone may have a little message for you. Oooooh.

This week the closed auditions took place and I attempted to get the gossip and, err, get a part. Okay, so I may not have got a starring role (or a role at all for that matter), but I did get some ACE tips from the casting director on what to do at an audition, plus I revealed a little about The Cut open auditions...
And by 'open auditions', yes I mean the auditions that YOU can attend! Eek!
Watch it again here: /switch/videos/9d96b3e.shtml
Bonjour, welcome to a la slightly late Cut Blog...
Okay, so my French is pretty much as bad as Olive's, plus I managed to muck up the blog (it was meant to go up on Saturday, but I sort of forgot to press a button...). However, luckily I do have another undisputed talent: and that's LINKING TO WEEK 4 OF THE CUT ON iPLAYER.
Skilllllllllllllllllz.
In other Cut news, Tuesday saw another live Cut Special which once again descended into Cut-based madness - you can watch it again here.
There's been a few developments on The Cut: Season Two 'swell... on Friday the 'story pitch' took place; a meeting where all the writers pitched their finalised storylines to the executive producer. Scary, but exciting: if the exec agrees to the storylines, it's Season Two a-go-go! I'll let you know as soon as I hear any more.
Until next time ma petite côtelettes,
Vicki x
PS. And yes, that really IS French for Cutlets. Mind blowing, I know.
Oooooooooh, it's that time of week again when The 5:19 CUT SPECIAL takes over your internet-box! Once again it was LIVE and once again, it went into realms no one could have ever predicted, including a 60 second guide that was actually about 3 minutes plus an awkward recreation of Jay's face.

Well, well, well! What a busy week it's been here for The Cut at Switch HQ - first up, the wonderful Billie (who plays Olive) popped in to say hello! She was DESPERATE for the goss on season two, but the writing team can't reveal any of the exciting storylines to anyone yet...
On Tuesday, The Cut Special happened. And it was live. I can't quite believe The 5:19 Show let me loose on live internet, but they did! You can watch it again here. Not persuaded? It involves the much coveted 'Funniest Face of the Week on The Cut" award... and haha, no, it's NOT mine.
So moving on: later in the week we started planning ourÂ
search for a new character... we'll have news about that in the next couple of weeks, but if you're a budding actor or actress who'd love the chance to appear in The Cut, register your interest here if you're haven't already.
Which pretty much brings us up to now: SATURDAY! The day The Cut goes on the iPlayer! Watch Week 3 here right now. See you on Tuesday for some more Cut special action,
OAO,
 Vicki x
PS. What did Marla say when she got locked in the store cupboard?
"Oh, I bet it's something to do with those darned LOCK-sleys."
LOCK-sleys? Instead of LOXLEYS? Get it? No? Okay.
Look who just popped into Switch HQ to say hi!
It's Tuesday! It's The Cut Special! And this week... IT'S LIVE! Or it was live. Luckily we captured the moment and put it into video form for you
r viewing pleasure. Check this out...
(oh and I apologise in advance if my dress hurts your eyes)

Helloooo and good day to y'all,
Are you getting into The Cut all over again now we're repeating Season One? It was Episode 2 today and you can take a little gander at it right now on iPlayer. After this, you could have a little peak at the photos from behind the scenes that week, followed by, perhaps, a dose of this week's 5:19 Cut Special (which was LIVE btw!)?? Mmm. Delicious.
Anyway! You'll be pleased to hear we've been working really hard on Season 2 of The Cut and although I can't reveal anything just yet, be assured, there are some SHOCKING storylines. Anyone got any guesses at what could be coming up?
On the side I've been working on my comedy stand up routine, which I intend to base around The Cut. After all, it's what the people want. Okay, so far, I may only have one Cut related joke, but I think you'll agree it's outstanding. Ready??
Q: What did Stephen say to the youngest Loxley?
A: OLIVE you!
Ahhhhh! With a joke like that I'm destined for great things I'm sure. Think you can do better? Send any Cut based jokes you've made up to thecut@bbc.co.uk or leave them as a comment here.
Until next time...

HAPPY NEW YEAR NUT CUTLETS!*
The year 2010 is upon us and the time has come for resolutions. What are yours? I'm thinking mine should be to become less obsessed with The Cut (I mean honestly, what sort of loon updates the blog on the 1st January?!), but I think that's gonna be hard because with the new year comes shiny new things...
LIKE THE CUT: SEASON TWO!!
I've desperately been begging people for the lowdown on it and whilst they won't tell me much, I've managed to wangle the following out of them:
1. the cast is going to get bigger (no, not FATTER - although this is a possibility after The Christmas season - but instead, there *might* just be some new characters thrown into the mix along with the existing ones)
2. there will be some snazzy new locations
3. (and this is the big news!) Olive may have given up on Stephen, but this doesn't mean he's given up on her... Ooooh!
I'm still not sure when it's all going to kick off, but whilst I wait I'll deffo be watching season one again, from the very beginning starting this Saturday in our TV zone at 12pm on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Two.
Bye everyone... and happy new year!
Vicki x
*I totally stole that 'cutlets' saying from Trev, who updates the track listing for The Cut on this 'ere blog, although I added the nut in front of it after being inspired by my veggie Christmas dinner. Mmmm. Nut Cutlets...
