Sorry OF, I'm a bit slow on the uptake today. What 'Sworn to secrecy bit'?

Kitz, you can relax. I've been out most of the day, and in any event browsing and email has hardly been affected by the FTP upload. You're definitely not a PITA. :) Chris, you should be ashamed of yourself. :P

Got it thanks eric.
Thanks also to havelock for the loan of the space

Left it downloading this afty and just got around to watching it.

Good prog - love the way that Vanessa jumped up in the air then said "whats wrong with my clothes" - classic.  :lol:

Hope the kids enjoyed their disney break too.

Risking OF's wrath again ( :) ), I'm afraid that programmes like this one are smoke and mirrors. There wasn't really any trip to Disneyland, or any London shopping trip. But they all had fun making the programme, and are enjoying their local celebrity status.

The TV people. They needed an objective with more sparkle then just earning a bit of cash to pay the bills.

>> The TV people

yeah I guessed as much
hmmm  thats cool.... On the tele just to look good.

"Hey kids you're going to disney"..  but in reality they dont.

The TV people arent around when the kids get asked by other kids either, nor are they the ones that have to deal with it.

/end sarcasm (sorry)

Just hope they understood it was all play acting eric and that they are ok about it.
Bonny pair of decent kids and I'd hate for them to be disappointed I guess.

See what you mean about smoke and mirrors now.

Not from me, I have was around the TV & Media long enough to know what goes on, and that you only actually believe when told directly by the people concerned.

Now, where is my long stick (for prodding the audience) Applause board (to tell you when to Applaud) etc etc.
TOPs, audiences of only 30 people made to look like 130, even changing cloths to look like a different audience.  :lol:

But to publicly offer holidays that do not exist, thats a bit below the belt. :no:

No wasnt quite like that.. sorry if I led you to believe otherwise.
It was the supposed reason why the "Booty" was being held to raise funds for.
Wouldnt have been too bad if the presenters didnt keep mentioning it - and "How it was already paid for" and they were going any how. 

I think I was just a bit shocked at them having to mention it or even the more smoke and mirrors of the london shopping trip.
If they had to think of a reason a bit more exciting than "pay bills", why not just say the london trip?

Anyhow done let the "minor" detail put you off.. it was a good show and I actually enjoyed watching it.
This is the profs "claim to fame" spot and  it was nice to see a decent normal family on there...
(unlike a couple of the more money grabbing shows Ive seen where imho things were over priced.)*

Still think the clothes quote was a classic  :lol:
Please , please, dont tell me the jump for joy and Vanessa's sudden "whats up with my clothes" was set up too.


*Says nothing about ?20 for Vegas frame  ;)
