It's 90% confirmed that BBC South will be at Hayling Island on Saturday 25th April to do a piece about what goes on in an amusement park. The piece should be screened the following week.

If you're in the area why not come down and try and get yourselves on the telly. See if we can RCCGB logos on screen too.

I'm off that day and would go along if others are going, it's just over an hour from me.
Are you going along Magic? Question

Darn it, I'm in Southend Sad

Also read in an old edition of the Portsmouth evening news that they are remaking the Werthers original advert, but filming it at Hayling, and includes them riding Tornado 2.

Quick update, it now looks like the producer would like to incorporate the RCCGB into the piece and there's a very strong chance that club members will be interviewed as part of the piece.

So even more reason to pop along for some fun.

I'll let you all know for sure hopefully by the end of the week.

Looks like the date for this may be changed

Just awaiting confirmation from all parties involved. Hopefully that gives more notice to those interested in coming along to get on TV and support a great family owned park.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHH

Due to a variety of reasons the date has changed AGAIN. The new and, I've been assured, definite date for the filming is Monday 4th May. Filming will take place during the morning.

The piece will be televised either the following Friday or Friday week. It's a pilot for a new strand on BBC South.

In any case it would be good to see a few club members down there who don't mind being in shot. A few of you might even be interviewed to talk about the club, Hayling Island, and your passion for coasters.

I'm being kept in the dark as to who the presenter is going to be. They're new to BBC South and this will be their first piece. I've been reliably informed that she is very well known to viewers of CBBC, Newsround and sport on the BBC News Channel. So if you watch any of those you might know her better than me.

Ellie Crisell Wink

maybe

Magic · Posted: Sat Apr 25, 2009 4:34 pm Post subject:

Afraid you're both wrong. Not met Ellie, but I can confirm Georgie is as lovely in person as she is on the telly. One of the genuine nice presenters in TV. If any one wants a signed photo of Georgie let me know and I'll bring it along on the day.

The person is Lizzie Greenwood

Were deffo in now as well.

What time are people thinking of getting there??
and how easy is it to park and how much to park??

Magic · Posted: Wed Apr 29, 2009 9:34 pm Post subject:

Lots of on site parking for £2. I'll be there from 8.30 filming getting the park ready. I think they open around 10.30. We'll be filming till lunch time and possibly into the afternoon.

I think Lizzie is going to have a go at operating Tornado2 so be prepared for a strange ride.

Ouuuccccchhhhhhh - Ouch - Klondike bruises - on bruises.
I hope Marcus got all the footage they needed.

Thanks for a great (gr8 - eight of us - get it!) day guys.
I had a fab time - even if it was a tad chilly after lunch.

Thanks to everyone who came along. Shame about the grumpy maintenance guy on Klondyke. BUT the important thing is Pete the producer was very happy with what we got. So thanks for your patience and of course thanks to Marshall for being so helpful with everything.

I'm not 100% sure of the transmission date. That depends on a meeting later this week. But it will be on a Friday and they will be broadcasting live from the park too. Basically the live will link in to the piece we filmed today and then they'll go back live to the park for an interview with Marshall.

Yes it will end up on the web and I'll be sure to post a link when it does.

Good to hear you got all the footage that you needed, and thanks for inviting us along.
Also, was watching South today tonight and they had a small clip on the flat fire near Funland. luckily, everyone got out without injury. I don't think they said how it started, that's probably still being investigated.

I've just watched the piece we filmed the other day and it's excellent, very funny. Every one gets a look in, some get more screen time than others. The dangerous magazine reading stunt is still in too. Really shows off how fun Hayling Island is.

Still waiting for confirmation of the night it'll be shown along with the live from the park. There's a chance it may now be the Friday of the last May Bank holiday weekend. But like the filming of the VT the date is bound to keep changing.

Nope not this Friday. We're doing a major OB from Eastleigh Railway celebrating the anniversary if steam.

I think the producer is looking to sync up with the parks annual twins day. I'll keep you updated, hopefully a decision will be made before I go off to China or I might not be able to give advanced warnings.

Last I heard from the producer last week is they hope to link it up with the parks annual Twins day.

Twins day is on Saturday 20th June, so the piece would be broadcast on the 19th June, along with a live OB. I'm away now till that week so can't keep you any more updated till then. But that date is looking most likely.
