After a load of e-mails and 2 phone calls from production I was standing outside Charing Cross station waiting for a car to pick me up and bring me to the RI:SE studios. At 6:20 it arrived and a very nice car it was too! The car dropped me and my friend off in the car park of whitely shopping centre, we then followed the signs up to the studio where Sara one of the production team greeted us and showed us where to sign in. As we were waiting to be told where to go we were asked to wait in reception as was a very tired Dougie!! He spent a few minutes talking to the textecution contestants and then went off down the corridor. At about 6:40 we were taken in to a room were we got to have breakfast and read the daily papers, and then we had a practice on clapping. At 6:50 we were taken in to the studio and told where to sit, me and my mate got to sit around the big table near the video wall, Edith and Iain was already sitting in their chairs and started talking to members of the audience.
