Knights' Tourney on the tele

The Tuesday of the Carsibrooke tourney was a busy one for us. Not only did we get up to our usual mayhem we also had a BBC South film crew with us for most of the day, shooting a segment for their evening show South Today. The whole process was quite amusing really. Most stuff being shot in one take after only the briefest of conversations about what we were going to say. 

As we were on the Island and in a castle we had no way of watching the show when it went out at 6:30pm. No 3G reception in Carisbrooke Castle. On our return, my very clever wife, Heidi AKA the Duchess of Suffolk dropped BBC South an email and a very nice lady sent us this. It is only a low res copy so it could be emailed and can't be used for  commercial purposes. Don't bother going full screen you will lose all the quality. 

Anyway we had fun doing it and the resulting publicity was huge. We were visited by over 6000 people in 3 days, so  lessons could be learnt by others I think.


Hope we get to do something similar in the future:0)
