Who doesn’t love mystery and intrigue?
Elvis Costello is back in the studio at Toronto’s historic Masonic Temple. Work got underway on Season Two of Costello’s acclaimed musical series Spectacle (CTV, Sundance Channel). Production started today, according to a CTV media release.
God bless Costello. As far as I can tell, he’s one of very few musicians who spells Alison correctly. He recorded a song called Alison and fascinatingly enough (to me anyway) he also recorded a song called Veronica, which happens to be my mother’s name.

There was no mention in the CTV media release of Costello’s first or upcoming musical guests; rather odd considering he’d have to be hosting somebody during today’s taping.
Here’s what was in the release: ”For season two, the SPECTACLE production team has committed to raising the bar; guests will be announced later this month....I am delighted that we can continue where we left off—making intelligent, and informative music programming,” shares Sir Elton John, one of the series’ Executive Producers.
Well, just in case you’re wondering, here at TV or Not TV, we (and by we I mean me) heard from a reliable source that Irish super band U2 is slated to be interviewed by Costello tonight. They’re scheduled to perform concerts tomorrow and Thursday in Toronto...
Could be wrong, but it’s the kind of reliable source who’s really, really reliable...Honest.
So, it seems likely that U2 will be heating things up on the second season of Spectacle. If we’re told otherwise, we’ll stand corrected...
Guess the folks at CTV thought Torontonians are already in enough of a tizzy with all the Film Fest frolicking, and all...
