Will you (or Mr Schiller) be 'doing' Edinburgh this year?

I'm afraid I'm doing them all this year Laughing


I might see you at the Pembrokeshire show then, Nicky! Wink

I'll be wearing a "I'm a TV Forum anorak and proud of it" T-shirt...

And I'll be wearing by black BBC News and Sport on Tour t-shirt. New this year is a chance to do the Weather and Sport as well as the News, plus a chance to try your hand at sports commentary, and .... the chance to have a go at designing some BBC News and Sport graphics ....

And very good you were too! The event was really good and you did a great job of keeping the audience informed and entertained.

I'll be visiting the Pembrokeshire one the week after next. Do I get a free BBC News t-shirt, Nicky? Wink

I went along to the one in Edinburgh today. I met Darren Jordon, he's very friendly, and I saw Tazeen Ahmad.

It was very good, but no T-Shirts !

I can thoroughly recommend the tour. Spent a nice few hours watching people having a go, and even had a shot of reading Radio 1's Newsbeat. Excellent fun, and even a tape to take away. I might upload a bit later.

Thanks to Nicky for making it such an enjoyable day. I'll take this opportunity to say hello to Chris too - feel free to give me a call if you would like Wink

If you can get along to this event, you won't be disappointed.

It was very good. I may even go again tomorrow since my sister missed it and wants to go.

They wanted me to have a go at reading the news in a proper bulletin, because it was mostly children doing Newsround versions, but I had to decline. I'd only have made a fool of myself.

Please do Gavin, I'd love to hear that!

This tour sounds really great from what everyone's saying, wish I could have gone while it was in my neck of the woods.

Quick capture coming up. You'll have to excuse any stumbles, but the whole event was being brilliantly compered by Nicky, and his fabness made me a little nervous.

And a little turned on.
