The BBC has written to me about the Edinburgh
recordings... letter follows... If you are going to be at Edinburgh this year,
let me know and I will put you in touch with Natalie.
Hi Dean
My name is Natalie and I am working with BBC Radio 4.
BBC Radio 4 is setting up a stage on the Royal Mile,
Edinburgh for a one-off comedy experience. If you are going to be at the
festival, let us know and well let you know details of how to be part of it and
capture some exclusive content for your group.
BBC Radio 4 returns to the event with a selection of its
best comedy, arts and festival programmes. And for the first time, to launch its
exciting Edinburgh Fringe showcase, will set up stage on Edinburghs busy Royal
Mile on Sunday 15th August at 1pm for a one-off comedy experience.
Joining host Miles Jupp on stage will be top comedians,
including Doc Brown, Andrew Lawrence and Tom Wrigglesworth, to name but a
few.
The people of Edinburgh will also be treated to two
open-air editions of BBC Radio 4s iconic panel game, Just A Minute, with
legendary host Nicholas Parsons. Resident panellist Paul Merton and Gyles
Brandreth will be teaching the likes of Stephen K Amos and others, how to play
the game. Look out for some familiar faces popping up in the crowd just before
the fun begins!
Those not in Edinburgh can watch here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/, view
exclusive footage via the red button from Wednesday 25th August, and listen to a
special festival programme on Thursday 19th August at 6.30pm on BBC Radio 4. You
can also follow us @BBCRadio4 on Twitter and on Facebook - www.facebook.com/BBCRadio4. Well
also be seeding a 3-min round up of the Royal Mile stunt and also the 4-5 clips
capturing all the action on and off stage! Please let us know if you would like
to receive the clips and we can arrange for some content to be sent to you after
the event for your group.
Thanks,
Natalie
Dean, Guess where I'm going to be going on Sunday!?!
(I read this, texted people and then came back to the group - and got quite upset that it seemed to have already been recorded - THEN I realised that it was 2008 comments I was reading. Doh!)
So, Yes, Edinburgh on Sunday. :-D
