Set-up day was ....well, lets just say "interesting".....
We were let in early for set-up...just before 10:00am ( instead of post 2:00pm). The layout was up and running just in time for the TV filming...Jim has really earned his stripes!! It transpired there were two STV crews...one for national news, and one for Local (Glasgow) news. They both filmed..and I was told I was needed for an interview with one of the crews, and then was wanted to go to the STV studios for an in-studio interview!
Well..what an experience the studio visit was. Proper set and newsdesk...and the segment for the last half of the news report for the evening was recorded...firstly a couple of minutes of film recorded at the show, then a few question about the show and my layout...asked to myself an the show's publicity manager.
I missed the 5:00pm broadcast...so had no idea what actuall was broadcast, but back at the hotel, we set the tv in the bar to watch......and the segment recorded had been bumped out by extra reports on the temporary bad weather.....I nearly cried!!
Never mind....the day has been a nice experience, and the layout is ready to roll tomorrow....
