Dear all,

You may have seen The Wright Stuff on Ch 5 - weekdays 9 am til 10.30am - it's a live topical debate show with a small studio audience. I've been on a couple of times lately & they have asked if I can bring along a few others. Being able to string a few sentences together on one of the day's issues in case the phone calls dry up is a bonus (but not essential). But the audience they usually get tends to be students, oldies & chavsters so a bunch of goth types would be a good change, I reckon! Even if no speaking is involved, there's usually audience close-ups & it can be quite entertaining...

It involves being at Bayswater by 8am & all finished at 10.30. If anyone is interested please let me know - if a lot of us could go together that would be a bonus, but again not essential. Either reply here or at my email address, ta!

Cheers
Tara

With me in it - yes, I'm self-publicizing again :o)
The Discovery channel are screening the programme " Real
Vampires". Not what you may think - this
is a 2 hour scientific documentary looking into whether vampires
could have existed, & the sequence I am in is with a dentist taking
about the feasibility of humans having fangs. So if you want to see
me in a dentists chair with my fake fangs on show getting jawache,
tune in at 9pm tonight on the Discovery channel.
Apparently I got a namecheck about it in The Knowledge colour
magazine arts & entertainment guide that comes with The Times on
Saturday, but didn't find out til today so if anyone has a copy
please can they let me know, ta very much!

Sorry if this is a little last minute, but the American Documentary called 'American Vampires' is due to be screening on Freeview ITV4 tonight from  12.25am to 1.30am.

Taken from the BBC website: A collection of six short stories exploring the burgeoning subculture in the USA, seeking to understand some people's need to drink human blood in an age when the risks of contracting HIV or hepatitis are so high. Travelling from New York to Cincinnati, the programme takes in a shop devoted to making fangs and a club where patrons can retire to a special `feeding room'
