The BBC seem to have bypassed our forum this year in favour of their own site for the People's Panel.

Why not download the application form and let's see if we can make it a Digital Spy panel again this year

How terrible! I thought the lot that did it last year were quite good

I got auditioned last year, then they decided they didn't want me.

Does it say your team has to be a certain number of people?!

No but I imagine they would want 4. That seems to be the usual number.

Here's the application form and it doesn't say anything about how many.

I'd do it but I don't want the bank to know I am still alive!

Plus, my living room is a tip.

I know, I don't like the fact it's at my own house, plus the fact I've put that I live in Exeter is going to cross me off the list right away, their camera crews won't want to travel down here when they can go down the road and film some people. Grr.

You don't know that I think it's quite good that they're prepared to go out of TV Centre this year and it wouldn't cost any more (apart from petrol) to film in the suburbs of London than to go to Exeter. It's only one cameraman and a director.

I guess, maybe. I really don't trust the BBC at all to be honest.

I'll enter when I've chatted to some friends, anyway.

Sorry to be a killjoy but I'd hate to be on TV. Firstly you look a size bigger than you are (I'm too vain) & secondly they may edit you to look foolish/geeky/bitchy/obsessive etc so I'm not going there - no way Jose!!!
Good luck to those of you that get through to panel though.

Oh go on. You know you want to

Ditto.

BTW thanks FT for keeping an eye out, and boo to ITT for abandoning DS when we were good enough for them for 4 seasons!

They`ll just send a local BBC crew

can only 1 person enter

They were considering coming up to Durham to film when I did it! So don't let location put you off!

I entered. After all, you've gotta be in it to win it, haven't you!

Maybe they haven't. I think this is going to be a Viewers Panel rather than a Forum Panel, but I suspect they will put the message up on their own Forum rather than ours. Or maybe they'll do both.

I think the idea is to form a team - originally I thought 4 like the normal panels, but on reflection I think this could be any number - they might even film in the local pub if there are enough people in the panel as I think this one is going to be a Viewers Panel.

I'll do it and I promise to be completely fair
