Wow!! Its wonderful to hear that, Viv. You mean you will be fully interviewed by the BBC? Wow!!
I'm not sure if I have the channel in my country but could you record it? I would love to hear it. Don't forget to mention these forums and also enthusiastic foreign fans like me and Ming!
Best of luck!
Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.
When once the itch of literature comes over a man, nothing can cure it but the scratching of a pen.
Hope you too have fun!
Btw,the Solent is my favourite region in England.I guess if I would move onto your Isle I would prefer to live in this wonderful region.Sometimes I listen to 106fm from Southampton.

Peppermint Peppy, I'm pleased that you like the Solent, I live just ten minutes drive away. On a clear day I can see the Isle of Wight from the end of my street.

It should be mentioned that BBC South is available to everyone in the UK with Sky Satellite Television. All of the BBC regions are found from 974 to 988 on the EPG. BBC South should be on channel 984.
In 5 mins time John & I are off to Yorkshire because we are going to a wedding tomorrow in Harrogate. No staying for the reception though - we'll be heading south again, ready to be bright eyed & bushy tailed for Saturdays party!
Excellent article on the BBC site. Thanks for posting the link Ming. I'll be looking out for the tv programme also.

Fascinating article, great interview. I probably sound slightly cynical here, but I'm rather surprised the BBC spoke so highly of Enid Blyton. They do like to be fashionable and modern, and I might have expected some little dig about her being dated in some people's eyes. But no, it was a refreshingly objective piece!
Saw the interview. Well done Viv. You're a tele natural. Some lovely scenes of Corfe Castle too.
Thanks Nigel for posting the channel number 984, otherwise I wouldn't have seen the programme, as ours is different of course this side of the SW.

Julian gave an exclamation and nudged George.
"See that? It's the black Bentley again. KMF 102!"
