Let me think again....don't think so! Although for me, it might be a homecoming of sorts if it ever got close to happening! A lot of relatives from my Mum's side of the family still live in Worthing (don't know if any of you are familiar with it...) The more I think about it...the more I believe I should just make it happen on my own! There you have it....the small-town Canadian is going to invade the UK! *getting cheeky again...* I really do hope you can handle me!

As for your request happyfeet...I feel kind of awkward asking anything from you - but I'll PM you and try anyway if that's allright.

OH- and I apologize in advance if I seem like I'm rambling (which I probably AM...), but there is no coffee made, not a tea-bag in sight... it's 3 AM here as I sit down and let my fingers fly. Chalk the bunny jump in me to an intense, non-stop night at work, and a great practice before it! Have to wind down, don't you know.

Cheers!

EVERYONE - just send me your details. I don't care where you are! You never know what they'll put together! I have a grand total of 10(!) people who have sent me their emails so far. You have about 1 hour and a a half left before I send the last email

We can show the BBC how keen we are to be a part of this.

Hamlet, your post made me giglgle quite profusely. I think anyone who follows your link will too. I promise, I won't hurt the placard waving, protesting cause. I'm leaving the elephant behind as a guard

Got your PMs thanks!!

Come on everyone! Only an hour to go before I send my last email to the Beeb with details. I'm pretty sure they will not be using screen names or any other identifying information, like the name of our forum.

We just get to sit on someone's squishy sofa and make random comments while watching SCD. It's what we'd be doing on a Saturday night anyway, it's only the travelling time that's inconvenient.

You get to meet some great people (aka other FPs) and you're only on tv for less than 5 minutes, but long enough to get some messages and jokes across, and be a forum hero. Am I selling it to you.... am I?

Go on, just send a PM, it'll only take 2 minutes and you never know! It's is ONLy a win-win situation

Yes - I sent 13 people's names in total. The nice lady emailed to say she'd give me a call later. Will let you guys know, but I imagine they'll contact some of you this afternoon/evening.

Good luck all xx

Have been phoned three times now by the BBC they must really want me, they are going to put me up in a hotel cos there is no train back for me tomorrow night. *thud* to infinity and beyond.

has anyone else heard, is anyone else scottish getting to go?

Do you think we'll meet Claudia?

Think I might have done a silly thing tho She was asking who my fave couple was and I said Zoe and Ian and she said he had lots of fans, and before engaging my brain I cheerily said "Yes and I'm probably the biggest" arrgh!!!!!

Ooh Im so exicted

Woo hoo I once did a quiz show for the BBC and had to travel to Manchester and the hotel they put me up in overnight was tres bon as Anton would say, so I don't think you'll be getting a nasty hostel or anything

Although, if you're in London, you're within my sights to hunt you down and fight you for Ian

Be looking out for you all on Monday!

Congrats to us all for making the forum so wonderful. The BBC Lady says we are the "True Fans" so give yourselves all a pat on the back and a big pink sparkly hug. We deserve it.

Hello poppets. I'm not sending any more names now as they told me they only wanted them until lunchtime. I think they're still trying to figure out locations at the moment. So I'm not definitely doing it yet...

That's so fab about a hotel! Are they paying your travel expenses too? I wonder if anyone else has heard; Peach mentioned she had been contacted again too so I'm pretty sure she's a definite

I am SO angry with BT! They accidentally disconnected my Internet on Wednesday night and I can't get it back on for a week. So I missed this wonderful opportunity (I'm sneaking a little look at work... sssh don't tell anyone!!) and I could have gone!

Have a great time all of you lucky enough to go!

Thinking about it, I got my travel expenses back when I got there, had to have a receipt/ticket and pay up front, but no problems in getting my money back, not sure if they'd pay up front for anyone. Also got to wear a lovely blouse that sadly I couldn't smuggle out after the event and had to give back
