We are on Dragons Den on an update show tonght BBC2 8pm

Dragons Den Repeated Saturday 17/2/07 BBC2 8.05PM

28th Feb 2007

What a sad day and farewell to a highly respected man, if I have a tenth of the attendance to my funeral I would die a happy man. Kate & I were there to see hundreds of friends and family paying their respects to Joey. Representatives from both the Krays and The Richardsons stood peacefully side by side with the likes of Bruce Reynolds, Freddie Foreman and of course DC himself. From those who knew him well, to those who never met him, to celebrities including Jimmy White, Chris Quinten, Gary Mason and Kenny Lynch. Streets were blocked and the church was spilling over to bursting point. Below is a picture of the horse drawn carriage leading the procession to the cemetery. Follow this link to read the Daily Mail's view of the funeral service where you can add your comments.

At a charity event about four years ago Kate asked Joey if we could cast his hand as at that time we were doing celebrity hand casts for our own charity, we had already cast the likes of Bobby George, Chris Eubank and Dave himself. Joey's very first question, with a wry smile on his face, was 'Will it have my fingerprints on it?' Kate laughed and said 'Yes Joey, but if you make a fist like Dave did you'll be O.K.' It is such a great shame that we never did get to cast Joey's hand, my ill health followed by Joey's put paid to the idea. That just tells you, never put off until tomorrow what you can do today. God Bless Joey,  you were always a joy to be around and a true gent on the few occasions that we did meet. Our respect, condolences and love go out to all the family.

R.I.P JOEY PYLE

We were going to go and see Dave today to celebrate his Birthday, but all Birthday celebrations have been cancelled as Dave's hero, ally and close friend Joey Pyle sadly passed away at 1.35pm today. Dave's thoughts, love and condolences go out to all Joey's family and friends, along with ours. We, like many others, will never forget the occasions when we were lucky enough to meet Joey in person.

If you would like to know more of the great legend, Joey Pyle, or just help to keep his memory alive then why not purchase his book 'Notorious, The Changing Face of Organised Crime' by clicking on the duster:   

Dave also sends his respects to the friends and family of Reg Parker, a friend of Dave's for 20 years, who was buried yesterday.

All in all, a very sad time for many, what can we say? Life is short, so enjoy every minute and at life's end is it not best to regret what you have done, rather than what you have not?

16th Feb 2007

Today Dave visited the legendary Joey Pyle at the Hospice, Dave said that it was a humbling and very touching experience and that the place was filled with those who love Joey so very much.  Our love goes out to you all, we have met Joey quite a few times now and have always found him to be the perfect gentleman.

15th Feb 2007

Many thanks to all our friends that gathered at our house last night to watch Dragons Den with us and then party! Special thanks to Seymour, George & Di, Steve and Di, Paul, Elaine & Vince and the ever supportive, hardworking Margaret without whom we never would have packed so many products! It was a great shame Dave couldn't make it but hey, I wouldn't give up a night at the Brits either! Dave did ring last night and again this morning, so thanks Dave, for taking the time to call us when you are so busy and have so much else going on in your life right now, see you soon mate. If by any chance you missed us facing the Dragons due to it being Valentine night, you can catch the repeat on BBC2 at 8.05pm Saturday 17/2/07.

Thanks to all those who emailed their support following our Den appearance, we have had so very many, along with sales, contacts, buyers etc even from as far a field as Florida!

Dave & Noreena had a great time at the Brits and the after show party at Cafe Royal.

11th Feb 2007

OK, here it is! We will be on Dragons Den on the 14th Feb 07, yes Valentines Day, how appropriate eh! Of course we can't tell you how we did so sorry, but you just have to tune and and see for yourselves! BBC2 8PM. As you can imagine, its very, very busy here. We are frantically packing products (for the last time at home, since we have now located a packaging factory says Kate in relief, she can't wait to have her house back!) Then of course there are a whole host of Radio, TV and newspaper interviews to do, getting a feel for the sort of thing Dave does every day now! If you want to see us and Marilyn we will be at Bluewater tomorrow (12/2/07) at La Senza for a massive PR event and TV shoot for the BBC South East today news.

News from Dave: Six Bend Trap is to be shown in Middlesbrough in March, more details to follow ASAP.

Clubbing to Death: should be completed very soon in the hopes of a summer release, which will be kicked of f by a London premier in Leicester Square & Liverpool premier in Philip Olivier's (Brookside/Hollyoaks) bar ICE. "Clubbing To Death" which is being directed and produced by Lee Phillips of 4GMEDIA is a wicked tale that is set in the murky world of club culture, where Dench, a low life gangster runs the five biggest clubs in London, & supplies drugs to all of them. Everything seems to be going well until he gets greedy & decides to rip off his supplier by hijacking the next consignment before it reaches the UK. Trouble is the guy he's been dealing with forgot to mention that they belong to a psychotic American holed up in Morocco. Will Dench & his loyal right hand man Chris be able to stop the mad yanks plans to destroy his clubs and family before its to late? The cast and crew are currently being followed by a couple of film crews for documentaries, details to follow.

18th Jan 2007 

Happy New Year to you all, we hope that you had a very happy, healthy and peaceful Christmas and New Year. Our very sincere apologies for the long silence. As we mentioned below, we went for an audition for Dragons Den in December and we were lucky enough to be chosen for filming for the new series, series four, to begin on BBC2 on Feb 7th. We cannot tell you how we got on due to having signed a press and confidentiality agreement so sorry, but you will have to watch and see! We will be able to give you the time and date of the show we will feature on shortly. Once the show has aired we will be able to tell you all about the experience, the most frightening thing we have ever done! Since filming we have also gained our  first large order from a high street chain so are flat out packaging our product. On the night the program airs we will be holding a get together here for all our special friends and family who have supported us in our new venture. Of course, Dave, Seymour and all the look-alikes will be here, so whatever the outcome we will have a great night which we intend to capture on film.

On to the latest news: By chance we called Dave on the very day he was due to fly to Mexico. He was at the airport and hastily telling us about having been arrested there, but not to worry, he hadn't missed his flight and was about to board the plane! Apparently it was all to do with an old warrant where Dave had failed to name a driver. To Dave we think it was just another of his adventures, he was only really annoyed about the confiscation of his treasured dusters!! Dave was off to Mexico to start filming The Dead Sleep Easy where he plays one of the main characters, a very nasty one too. More news upon his return.

An Audience with: At the Polish Club, Sandy Lane, Melton Mowbray. Sunday 25th Feb, 7.30 til late. With book signing, raffle and licensed bar. Strictly over 18's. Tickets 17.50 in advance. Call Dean 01664 853901 or 07949 682951.

On Thursday Freddie Foreman popped in for tea with DC and gave Dave tickets to see George Michael at Wembley. On Friday Dave was at an Audience With at the 'Contented Pig' in Portsmouth with Nokia John, Big Paul & Big Chewy. (hope I spelt those right guys!!) Dave then drove up to Earls Court for 9am Saturday to start filming a new production inside Earls Court (whilst they were building the cage for that nights cage rage!) Dave was filming with Craig Charles, Seymour and Brendan. Dave couldn't stay for the Cage Rage as he had to rush back to Portsmouth for yet another 'Audience With!' PHEW!

21st April 2006

From all the phone calls and emails we have received it seems that the premier of Six Bend Trap last Sunday was a huge success much enjoyed by all who attended.  Our friends Izzy Ozzy and Barely Connolly both telephoned and Austin Prowess sent a lovely email to say what a fantastic evening they had and asked us to pass on their thanks to Mike and Dave. They were both raving about the film, to give you an idea, Izzy normally chats on the phone for about 2 minutes but 20 minutes later he was still gassing away about the film! They highly recommend it, (in fact we can't wait to see it for ourselves now) and praised Dave's performance some of which was superbly realistic (you can guess which bits!) and some of which was very funny. Well done to Mike and all involved. Here are just a couple of pics from the evening, more as soon as we have them.

Tomorrow we are taking Ben to the WWE live Smackdown event at Wembley Arena where he has front row seats. (see it on Sky Sports 3 on the 28th/29th April) update asap.

13th April 2006

Just returned from a day out to London, after taking our Ben to see the Mr Men exhibition at Oxford Circus (and getting conned into buying a limited edition Mr Men picture for £200 by Ben) we popped in to see the lovely Bev M at The Prince Albert just round the corner from Dave's. We had missed the opening night so it was good to catch up, remember DC fans you have at least a 75% chance of meeting the man himself every time you pop into The Prince Albert for a pint! Bev showed us the photo's from opening night and we took a few of our own while we were there. Bev told us about plans for St Georges Day, celebrations will commence at 12 noon and run until 6pm. Then  because there is a boxing night at Caesars that very evening Bev and Joey Pyle Jnr (who will be in the ring that night) are organising coaches to take people from the Prince Albert to the boxing and then bring them back again where the celebrations will continue in the pub until 2am. Just think, no worries about drinking or even finding the venue! If you are interested in tickets or info about this event call Bev M on 07713628631. Hurry, book early it's sure to be a great night!

Outlaws corner	Pool & darts

We left the hospitality of Bev and then popped in to Camelot  on the off chance and Dave & Storm were there so we stayed until quite late. (hence not updating until today, well 2am was a bit much lol) Dave is looking fit and well and Camelot looks fantastic. We met up with a couple of lovely ladies who are busy organising merchandise and we plan to meet with them again soon to photograph the merchandise and help them with their plans. You really must see some of their wonderful wares, all being well that should be within the next couple of weeks.

Don't forget that the premier of Six Bend Trap will be at Middlesbrough on Easter Sunday, looks like its going to be a huge event with stars a plenty attending. Check out their website for details of the film. 

Our good friends Izzy Ozzy, Barely Connolly and Austin Powers will be going so although we can't make it we know that we will get some great photo's and stories about the event and will carry these ASAP.

08th April 2006

Hi folks, we're back! Sincere apologies for not updating before now, our PC has had health issues, along with various family members! Although not all are fully recovered we are doing our best to stay with you. We have kept  in touch with Dave and he has had a couple of really great 'audience withs' in the last month plus the grand opening of the lovely Bev's pub, which also happens to be Dave's local. Bev tells us that the opening night was a huge success, packed to the rafters in fact. Our good friend Chris was in attendance, if you were there you would have noticed him, he is a dead ringer for Sammy Davis Jnr! Chris said it was a fantastic night which he thoroughly enjoyed.

Here is a link to the official site for the film Six Bend Trap featuring Dave:   

The premier is scheduled for the 16th of April 2006 at the Riverside Stadium, Middlesbrough.

The other film featuring Dave, 'Clubbed To Death' currently being shot by Lee Phillips, was mentioned in the Daily Mirror recently:

HUEY TO STAR IN BRIT FLICK 
Daily Mirror 23 March 2006
FUN Lovin' Criminal Huey Morgan will star in forthcoming Brit flick Clubbed To Death.
The bizarre cast also includes Lord Brocket, reformed villain Dave Courtney and girls about town Lauren Pope and Donatella Panayiotou.

More details when we have them. We hope to visit Dave very soon and all being well we will update then.

Thanks for all the get well wishes and if we have missed any emails a big sorry, things should start to return to normal service very soon!

09th March 2006

We had a call from Dave yesterday, he tells us that Joey Pyle has completed the first treatment and is doing very well. Dave was also excited and enthusiastic about receiving the script for 'Stop The Ride' More news about that next week.

Remember we told you about Jason Pitbull Pasquale (back in Feb), well he is still staying at Dave's and as well as training Dave he is very busy with Newspaper interviews, appearances and the like. Perhaps you saw the article about him in the Sunday People on Gary Bushells page? We hope to meet Jason next week when we will be paying a flying visit to Camelot.

This coming weekend Dave is going to Leeds to celebrate Mark Fish's birthday (Saturday) and then on to Middlesbrough on Sunday for the premier of 'Six Bend Trap' So Happy Birthday to Mark, have a good one mate and good luck with the premier on Sunday Dave.

06th March 2006

Just received an email from Lee Philips of  4GroundMedia concerning Dave's latest film project. You may remember us mentioning the film which was originally called 'Don of the Dead' The film has been renamed 'Clubbed to Death' as this fits the content much better. Lee describes it as a cross between  Snatch, 28 Days Later and Human Traffic. Dave is to start filming his scenes in the next couple of weeks. Lee told us that they have a major American star on board as well as many famous British faces and that distribution has already been secured. We look forward to hearing all about the progress and to receiving the full cast list very soon.

25th February 2006

We had a nice long chat to Adrian a couple of days ago, Adrian and Chris The Greek both worked tirelessly on the Joey Pyle Lifetime Achievement show which went off very successfully at Caesars in Streatham on Sunday night. Unfortunately we didn't quite make it but we did get as far as Gatwick before the car decided to die on us! We missed quite a night. Finally got the car fixed yesterday!

The good news is that Joey's first lot of treatment has been booked and paid for thanks to the evenings success. The show was a sell out, packed to the rafters and was filmed ready for a possible DVD release in the future. Adrian Doughty and Wayne Adams fronted the show and performances ranged from Jocelyn Brown to Oliver Cheatham and even the ever lovely Storm who sang 'Wind Beneath My Wings' just as she did at our wedding. The auction had 61 items generously donated which included Ronnie Woods guitar & even Mike Tyson's boxing robe! This went brilliantly despite the fact that dinners were still being served at 9pm, over 900 of them in all! At least 1,200 were in attendance. The finale for the evening was Wayne Adams and Dave up on stage with just one spotlight on the pair. Wayne sang a very unique and special version of 'My Way' ('His Way') with revised lyrics as a tribute to Joey Pyle, this led to a standing ovation for Joey who then said a few words.

A huge thank you goes out to everyone involved in making the show such a success, from the performers to those who worked so hard on and before the day to set the event up, to all who promoted the show, donated to the auction, bought tickets & bid for auction items.

Joey, we have had the pleasure of meeting you quite a few times now and have always found you to be a true gentleman, we wish you all the very best, with respect, Jerry & Kate.

18th January 2006

We have been having a very busy time here lately, we have had our fair share of family trouble and strife to sort out, like most people! Still, makes the New Year interesting! Much to our disappointment we just could not make it to the Premier of 'The Dealer' but have spoken to both Dave & Lee and it seems it was a huge success with over 500 in attendance. The film received a five minute standing ovation and was attended by many, including legendary film star Leslie Phillips, Nick Moran who will be in the feature, Colin Salmon (resident evil) John Altman, (Eastenders),Lord Brockett, Chas n Dave, Caprice, Deepak Vermer (Eastenders) Jess Conrad & Sam from Big Brother. There was a cellist in the foyer, Jazz & classical pianists on a grand piano, & close up magician, Mark Gray, entertaining the guests when the film wasn't being shown. The evening was shot by a number of film crews including Chatshow.net, Satellite Live (for the US) & Liam Galvin who was filming for Dodgy Dave 2, & press from just about every newspaper & magazine were there. Sounds like we missed a real corker! Many thanks to Lee for filling us in and for the photographs of the event below.

We spoke to Dave late on Wednesday evening and he was on his way to a funeral to be held on the Thursday. These are always very difficult but more so when the sad occasion is for a child. Courtney Abigail Marissa Guy, named after Dave, was just 8 years old and succumbed to Meningitis. Our thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathies go out to all her family and friends.

We are also busy helping our good friend Bob Lucas (see www.barelyconnolly.com) organise 'an audience with Billy Connolly' in Cambridge which will be attended by many other look-alikes to recreate the real thing all to be filmed for a DVD! Sounds like fun, if you are interested or think you can help email us!

Finally, don't forget that Dave is in Exeter on Thursday for an 'Audience With' For full details please visit davecourtneyinexeter.co.uk

6th January 2006

Hello peeps, we hope you have all had a wonderful time over Christmas & we wish you a very Happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. We have only recently returned home ourselves from our holiday. We decided to have Christmas away this year as our son really wanted to see & play in real snow plus revisit Disney, Paris. We had a great time and the snow in Germany followed us back! We only got stuck once and that was in France.

Of course we kept in touch with Dave, calling him during our break away and sending postcards from some of our favourite places. If you ever get the chance to visit Baden Baden in Germany do, its a great spot for visiting the Black Forest and has the most amazing natural Spa. We were swimming in the hot spa outdoors at minus 2 with snow falling on our heads! Just half an hours drive and you are on top of the world, driving through the clouds to the ski slopes, amazing, and the Germans keep their roads spotless despite all the snow!

Dave said he had a great New Year's eve, he had so many invitations so he spread himself around as many as he could and ended up back at Camelot partying the night away. Big hello to Seymour, great to chat to you and see you very soon mate.

Anyway, enough gossip from us, here are the latest from dates from Dave:
