‘French for Geordies’ becomes a YouTube hit (in Newcastle) 

March 18th, 2007

I was contacted this week by the Newcastle Evening Chronicle who informed me that the short film "French for Geordies" has become a cult hit in Newcastle (where else?). As of last week it had had 9,300 hits, which works out at between 300-400 hits per week. After a phone interview they published a full page story last Thursday under the headline "Oh la la - parlez franglais comedie is fantastique". The article explains why the piece was made and some other background material. Since the Chronicle put a link to the site, the traffic has increased to about 300-400 hits per day. If you're interested in reading the article then follow this link...
