Gay in the UK video blog (Ep. 27): "The play's the thing."

Ryan goes backstage at the Kings Head Theatre in Islington to find Tim, who is rehearsing for a play. After a tour of the dressing room they head for the nosebleed seats to deliver this week's news, which includes word on "Fruit TV," a new British GLBT TV and radio channel.

Later, the guys head to a local gay bar to report on culture news. The guys are broken up (okay, not really) over the cancellation of Big Brother UK, excited about Kylie Minogue's upcoming US tour, and a little surprised that an American version of Skins is in the works.

Finally it's outside to a mystery location for this week's Wino Awards, a contentious announcement of last week's tea cozy winner and a new contest question for viewers!

Check it out after the break.
