Jonty Stern is taking part in BBC 'Upstaged', and is hoping to be voted onto the stage in Bristol Millennium Square. He plans to use his six-hour slot to talk more or less non-stop about the history of Britain (and not just England) from the creation of the Universe right up to this year.

If anyone would like to support Jonty (who is up against mainstream acts such as bands, singers, dancers and comedians), please visit his 'Upstaged' profile upstaged.external.bb.... To help him get into the vote, you also need to register on the site - which only takes a minute or two - become a fan, rate his photos, videos and blogs, and vote him 'into the box' when he comes up for the vote.

Thank you so much for reading. I hope this is not off-topic but I considered that history enthusiasts would be keen to support a fellow history-junkie who wants to 'spread the word'.

If anyone is interested, I have also posted a blog, which goes into more detail, and includes links to a few videos of Jonty 'in action', talking about history. www.digitalspy.co.uk...

By the way, I have no connection with Jonty, other than wanting to see him succeed in this, especially against such stiff competition. It would be no mean feat!

The two links didn't come out properly in my previous post so I'm adding them here.

This is the link to Jonty's profile page: [link]

If you would like to help him get 'into the box', please follow the first link in my previous post, register on the Upstaged site, and vote for him.
