You'll have to transfer down here then Nigel. Afterall, you do have Cornish blood :D

I emailed Annie Bullen, and this is her reply:

Hi Nigel - it should be on tomorrow, Tuesday 26th on the ITV Thames Valley regional programme as you say.
best wishes
Annie

Here's hoping!

I'm beginning to wish My ariel was tuned to local news, not to London now! :D

Me too. I just don't know what right people think they have to intrude on a family's private grief. Just because the person in question appeared on a television programme doesn't make her public property. What is all this "something to hide" nonsense all about? If you found a gravestone I bet you'd want a DNA test on the remains.

For goodness sake let's drop it once and for all, if not least, out of respect for the family. Their late child is not public property.

Have a hunch you understood me wrong.
Anyway,I agree with your last sentence Nigel. :D Friends???

I never fall out with people with whom I argue, old thing! In any case, my comment was really directed at another. As I have pledged not to comment further on the subject that shall not be named, that is all I can say!

Of course we're still friends! :twisted:

I missed the programme, not too worried as I could catch it on the computer later. Only trouble was, Meridian Thames Valley was showing the Meridian South version of Meridian Tonight. They really need some IT help. I am sure it will be on Meridian South, after all. that's where the wretched series was filmed!

I've put Meridian South onto our sky box now, following your instructions Nigel, so does that mean its on tonight, or have I missed it. Bit confused here :?

I've just watched Thames Valley Tonight, and at the end they showed a preview of tomorrow's programme. Yes. it's on tomorrow! Julie; programme Thames Valley (Meridian North) to your Sky box NOW!

I'll be at the Dorset Steam Fair tomorrow, so I will leave the Sky box tuned to Thames Valley, and set the video to record the programme! (Sky + won't record Other Channels.)

Thanks for that Moonraker. All Thames Valley Tonight programmes can be viewed online following transmission, although locating them on that heinous ITV website is a rather tortuous process! :evil:

Not to worry, as I will post the appropriate direct link if I am not already beaten to it, after broadcast takes place. Anyone living in the UK will be able to view this, but I'm not so sure if UK streaming TV content is available to those living overseas.

If I may go slightly off topic, I passed Northam, Southampton today and noticed that the old Southern TV studios are now just a big pile of rubble, very sad indeed. :(

EDIT 30-08-08 The Southern TV studios still stand! Blame the beer goggles! :oops: :oops:

Thanks for the info. :) Will set my recorder. If I can wrap my head around the PC-trickery involved, I might even have a go putting it on youtube or a similar site.

Julie, I presume it's on at 6:00pm as that's when they switch to the local variations. Perhaps Moonraker could confirm this though so that I don't cause everyone to miss it and become universally hated. :shock:

Thanks Petermax that will be much appreciated as I do not have access to that channel so will be unable to watch tomorrow night.

Thanks Nearby, duly notes, have left myself little reminder notices near the TV. (Memory not quite what it used to be :lol: )
