The question for the new poll in the sidebar is: What was your reaction when you heard Sophia is joining Spooks? and you can choose 2 answers

A while ago members of the messageboard had the opportunity to create a layout for the site. In the end only one was submitted – but what a gorgeous layout this is! Luna designed the graphics – many thanks! – which in turn highly influenced my coding. I’ve been going over everything so I think it should all work – but please let me know if you encounter any problems.

What else is new? In the sidebar I replaced the random quotes by Sophia Myles with new orginal ones. Enjoy!

It was also time to change the poll question. Since January 2, 2009, 766 of the site’s visitors have answered the question ‘What’s your favourite character?‘. The result was overwhelmingly clear: 515 people (or 67%) chose Beth Turner from ‘Moonlight‘. The other top choices were Isolde (‘Tristan & Isolde‘) with 18% and Reinette (‘Doctor Who‘) with 9%. But only 1% or 10 people prefer the character of Kate Breck in ‘Hallam Foe‘ to all others. See all results here. As of now there’s a new poll open for voting in the sidebar: What kind of movie would you like to see Sophia in next?

• Absolutely Sophia Myles • • Projects

Meanwhile browse around the sections Upcoming, Movies and Info. This also brings back the calendar and awards information pages. The new feature is an overview of films that are sometimes falsely reported to feature Sophia (Underworld: Evolution) or never went into production (Buddha’s Little Finger).

Of course only now can you properly vote which layout you like best. At the moment the results are: Photo Gallery 46 %, Main Site 26 %, Media Vault 12 %, Press 9 % and 6 % who voted for Projects even though they hadn’t even seen it. I’ve now deleted all answers to allow a ‘true’ result.
[edit:] It seems you are only to vote in the sidebar – so sorry.

1) Tristan & Isolde 29.1 %
2) Doctor Who 19.9 %
3) Underworld 18.4 %
4) Other 6.4 %
5) Thunderbirds 5.7 %
6) Art School Confidential / Mansfield Park – both 5.0 %
7) Oliver Twist 4.3 %
The Abduction Club 3.5 %
9) Nicholas Nickleby 2.8 %

Thank you to everyone who voted!! A new poll is now open: I love Sophia Myles best in… and there are 7 genres for you to choose from. I’m already looking forward to the results of this one.

1) Great story – great cinematography, great acting – Perfect 54.1 %
2) Entertaining, but what made it memorable was only Sophia Myles 12.0 %

The new poll is: I first noticed Sophia Myles in… – there are 10 choices. I’m looking forward to your votes!

I’d also like to welcome all of you new visitors. Many of you have come to admire Sophia’s acting talents in the recent Doctor Who episode.

There’s huge activity on the site at the moment (around 1,700 visitors each day), which is why I’d like to remind you NOT to HOTLINK to pictures from the gallery. Also the contact form on this site is to contact me (Maria) the webmaster of the site. If you wish to contact Sophia Myles or ask for an autograph you should try writing to her agency. The address is found here. Thanks! I don’t have the time to answer each email intended for Sophia Myles individually reminding everyone to contact her through the agency, sorry!

1) I haven’t seen this – and I don’t plan to 27.6 %

4) Great story, great cinematography, great acting – Perfect 17.2 %

I’ve added a new Poll. The question is: What do you think of ‘Tristan & Isolde’? Please only enter if you’ve already seen this movie, thanks!

To keep things interesting I’ve added a new question: ‘What do you think of ‘Colditz’?’ Please head over to the poll and cast your vote! Thanks.

Another information concerning ‘Art School Confidential’: The Hollywood studio MGM (who was producing the movie) was taken over by Sony Pictures and it is now Sony Pictures Classics that is releasing the movie – the reason for the delay. But, they have the movie officially listed on their site and scheduled for release next April.

Merlin Ward, director of ‘Out of Bounds’, has created a homepage with a special section dedicated to the movie. visit

Another very big Thank You to Ruth: She sent me tons of Sophia pictures – also some fabulous ‘Thunderbirds’ stills – view them here.

And there’s a new article: (The one picture that hasn’t been published before is now in the gallery.

This article is very interesting because it talks about another new project for Sophia: ITV’s interpretation of ‘Colditz’. More about this mini-series to follow.

And since ‘Oliver Twist’ has been released on DVD – Region 1, USA, Canada – I was able to make some screen caps of that excellent series. View them here.

I’ve also added a poll question: What is your favourite film? Please take the time to give your answer. Thanks a lot.
