Not sure what has caused the huge Manchester influx.

i assume there was a big swoop on a nightclub queue

I wondered why there are so many HMs from Manchester.

I doubt they all know each other.

Manchester is a big place, even bigger if you encompass Greater Manchester as a whole.

Me too, when watching the launch show I was wondering why there was a few from Manchester. Which would mean that other areas of the country weren't represented.

A certain type of bar scene there is surprisingly small.

It's like when I lived in Leeds - when I went to a bar there was always someone I knew there, whatever night of the week. Also the same celebs and wannabees/hangers on - the Emmerdale farm lot (Zak Dingle off his face was a sight to behold!) Mel B when she was in town, etc.

Probably one of the producers is from Manchester.
