Or even Eunice Collins...... ...............'At The Hotel'

Followed by Jesse Davis 'There's Rooms For Me', H.B. Barnum ' 3 Rooms With Running Water' & Duke Baxter ' Let Me Be Your Bed Sitter' ( yes, yes I know)

Perhaps she'll organise a "northern night" to get the local dignitaries attending. Chips N gravy and Dustbin Stanley; that'll work

[Amsterdam Russ]

Based on the programme write-up, a more appropriate tune might be 'In my tenement'!

I wonder if lots of people in comedy trousers will turn up and complain their room isn't exactly the same as it was when they last stayed there in 1974.

Or maybe that it is!

Well what a let down! They name checked northern soul once or twice and that was it!

I thought they were going to remodel the restaurant Casino style, red crushed velvet, a dim uv and talc ont floor ..

Watch this programme a lot and only registered once it started that this is the one that I did some research on for Ch5 last year. They weren't up for paying though, tight wads. All TV companies are the same, always on a really tight budget, bless

I had Panorama on my case one day abbout 3 - 4 months ago. They HAD to have data, and it HAD to be that day.

It wasnt just a case of finding stuff hidden under a cushion in our luxury palace here at ONS HQ. It meant manipulating 27 years of average prices on items we dont keep average prices for.

I didnt even get a thanks when I managed to piece something together for them, and the programme went out about 3 weeks ago. So that data they HAD to have was sat for about 10 weeks. Harumph.

Except when it comes to the "budgets" to pay the Directors.....

Tell me about it. Had another enquiry yesterday from a film company, not a small company by any means, but yet again they claim they don't have a pot to pee in. Makes me mad, especially when the fee we're talking about isn't even three figures sometimes. BBC are the worst
