Thursday October 22nd - Live from Hull

If I hadn't been invited to the London party next Monday 26th, I would have gone to Hull. So listen to programme with interest.

It turns out to be completely monopolised by the BNP (British National Party). Nick Griffin, the BNP's leader, has been controversially invited on to the BBC TV programme, 'Question Time' this evening. The radio producers decide to put out all of the TV programme on the show and dedicate the rest of the show to a studio debate.

As a result there is no special bit between 12.30-1am. Disappointing, but probably the correct decision.

Monday October 19th - A party invite.

Garth, one of Richard Bacon's producers rings. He is confirming that I have been invited to Richard house for the 'live' recording of the house party. The programme is also coming from Hull on Thursday 22nd and Garth asks if I would like to go there instead of London.

As I 'm already going to be in London visiting father and I think it may be more fun, I choose the London venue. Chris Evans will be there and other 'surprise' guests.

Lots of instructions follow: Meet up at BBC TV centre with ID. There will be taxis to Richard's house and taxis to take us to our overnight locations afterwards. garth will ring again nearer the date.

Well, this is a bit out of the ordinary, what fun.
