York 10k

Sor Geoff Hurst at the BBC Bus.

During the redevelopment of BBC Radio York they go given a BBC Bus so that they still had staff on their patch.

This means that I don't often get into York or North Yorkshire however I have filled in once when Mick (Radio Yorks driver) wanted a day off.

The Main event was a 10k run when we broadcast live from York race course. We even met THE world cup hat-trick hero himself.... SIR GEOFF HURST.

Before the Radio York had that bus and I had the Humberside bus I did 3 weeks for Radio York. One in Harrogate, one in Scarborough and one in York itself.

Elections 2010

What would you do if you were Prime Minister?

On May the 6th 2010 Britain went to the polls to have there say in what the make-up of the new parliament would be. After 13 years of a Labour government there was a real feeling that the end of the road could be on the cards for Gordon Brown and his party.

It wasn't helped with bad performances at the new live TV debates and also Brown calling a voter a, “bigoted woman”.

However no one party won the election and the UK was left with a Tory/Lib collision.

For the weeks leading up to the election The BBC Bus was out in Dorset, Sunderland, Liverpool, Swindon and Luton.

We were asking people, “What would you do if you where Prime Minister?” And just like the outcome of the elections themselves, what we got where a lot of differing views. Click here to see some of the videos that we shot on the bus.

Day in.

Well the snow has beaten us today. We can't get out the farm. So it's a day in today.

Still got a lot done Joel for example hit another mile stone. For the first time he sat in a high chair at the table.

He looked so proud to be joining Jessica, Mummy and Me at the table.

Snow Go

Well I have gone in to Blackburn today to do some work however the snow came down and guess what? I'm snowed in.

Still Jessica enjoyed it.

It's not just me Blackburn Rovers League Cup Game with Aston Via had been called off. So I just think I will stay by the fire place.

Last day of old bus.

The BBC Bus went to have it's new re-fit today. New computers, new cameras and new things to do. It all starts in Blackburn where the red rap is Bering taken off and a new coat of paint (red) is put back on.

It was very snowy in Blackburn, not to say very cold. I almost missed my train due to a strike in the ticket office. I wish they would publish when these strikes are going to happen when you book tickets. That way I can plan better.

On another subjet, I have just found iPhone.tvcachup.com. Freeview TV on your iPhone. Great.

Day in.

We have had a day in today. Waching TV and playing on the computer.

It was nice to relax but with Jessica and Joel up all day we didn't realy relax. Until now. Just look at Joel.

It's Panto time. Oh yes it is.

We went to Preston Guild Hall today to see Ted Robins and Sally Naden in Cinderella. (is that how you spell it?)

Ted and sall were great. Jessica really enjoyed it and loved Fifi. Cinders herself however got stuck in snow and was 30 minuets late. These things happen. We got an extra treat as a result. Ted came out and did a spot of stand up for us.

10 years later

Today marks 10 years to the day that I quit Butlins. So much has happed sinced then. I work for the BBC and have a wife and two children.

But even after 10 years people still talk about what it was like back then. It really was the strangest job I have ever done.

BNP on Question Time. Right or Wrong.

As I right this blog large scale protest are happening outside BBC TVC on Wood Lane in London. This is due to the BBC showing the BNP leader, Nick Griffin, on question time.

The prostesters say they want the BBC not to air the program however ate they right.

Yes the BNP are rasist and stupid however they are a freely elected party and, like anyone in the uk, has freedom of speech.

Let's not take anyones human rights away. Not the blacks or the BNP.
