No "Hear, hear" smiley. Does make this place look a bit "PracticallyABunchOfKnobs"

These media types are pretty stoic. Look at Phil, we haven't managed to put him off yet and he's even joining in with the Mornington Crescent/Botticelli thread.


UKJeeper, spinach works well for that, or liver if you take meat. Here's the emoticon you need:

some people have no sense of humour....

"What restorations don't" we hear you say?! But if you are in need of help, a new television series looking to come to the aid of restorers whose projects are causing a sever headache. Drop kate.owen@indusfilms.com a line to find out more.

They need protecting from the wrath of every classic car owner in the country.

Just to let you know that Kate was nice enough to reply to my application (Unsuccessful unfortunately), and apologize for taking "too long" before replying.

Seems like a honest, above board person. Though TBH, most researchers/gophers usually are. Its often the higher up's in the production company that are weasels.

we havent put her off then

Kate? Doesn't seem like it. However the other girl has flounced off into the sunset and taken her thread with her!

what other girl?

Miranda Stern - wanted a Mark 1 Cooper, Lotus Cortina etc and posted here a few days ago but the whole topic appears to have been removed. Made it look like a private purchase but then you find out she's another researcher for another TV company. Really don't mind more classics on TV as long as it's nothing like Channel 5's Classic Car Rescue - at least we know Fuzz is working on another series of Car SOS and so perhaps the success of that has given other producers similar ideas.
