ROTC TV Ad! On brianmay.com you can view and download (small 10,6 MB / large 32,2 MB) the advert (overseen by Queen) for ROTC. Retailers add their own still shot at the end. The one on Brian's website is for Woolworths (similar televised for Tescos and Sainsburys). Surely the upcoming DVD is something to look very much forward to! |

ROTC
viewing! Last night the viewing of the soon-to-be-released Queen DVD, 'Return Of The Champions', took place at the Vue West End Cinema, Leicester Square, London. Advertised as 'introduced and attended by Brian May and Roger Taylor', it was in fact Brian who took on the duty of introduction of the 1-hour edit, while Roger took his seat for the screening. Brian's few words consisted of mentioning people in attendance who had been involved in the project (Jim Beach, Jamie Moses, Justin Shirley-Smith), and he also spoke briefly about the charity benefiting from the evening, MediCinema.
