Come next Monday, I will be a pilgrim in the studio, hailing from the USA!

I will be on vacation at the time, so I decided to add this pilgrimage to Bristol as part of my itinerary, and I will be with another site member who is headed there too.

Hope to see anyone else from the site who is going to the studio on Monday!

Have a great day Goldeneye. My trip to the Dream Factory was the highlight of 2008.

Start practising your hand-clapping skills or they will be aching by the end of the day :smt038

Hey Goldeneye, I'll be there as well (for the first two games anyway.)

My third visit - it is a fantastic experience!

Look forward to seeing you there.

Was great to meet you yesterday Collydolly and Goldeneye :D

Hope you both had safe trips home, as you both had long journeys to make!

It was a great day out and good to see how the show actually is live, and I now know why everyone warns you beforehand about the amount of clapping you do, as after 3 shows your hands do start to hurt :lol:

Thank you Kestral, it was good to meet you and put a face to the name :D

Goldeneye sent me an email from Copenhagen and said he had enjoyed his day. I took a picture of him in the audience room opening the box and I sent him that.

It was a very long day as our train got into Leeds at 23.40 and my husband was waiting for us with a nice warm car. It was half past twelve when we got home.

All the way home we were saying "never again" but we always do, it just seems such a long day but I hope to go again in January :D

I am not yet back home in the States (Paris right now), but I am going to chime in...

Nice to meet you, kestral, collydolly (and her friend) and taff and to put faces to names.

As for my journey back, I arrived at Paddington just past 23:30 and packed up soon after I got back to my hotel. It was a very enjoyable and memorable experience and I can't wait for the shows to air.

Once again, thank you all for the priceless experience!

We had a good day Goldeneye, it was amazing that you were able to meet several of your forum friends. You were only going to be in the UK for 4 days and one of those days three of us were booked in as pilgrims :!:

I hope you are having a good holiday :D

Got back home to Boston this past evening (or way past midnight on the 9th in UK time).

Had a pretty good holiday and managed to nearly do everything I had on my list, and I actually got to watch Affari Tuoi on Rai Uno in both Copenhagen and Paris (don't know why my hotel in the UK didn't have Rai Uno).

One of the negatives I got into was actually taking a nasty spill just about 50-100 meters away from my hotel in Copenhagen, with my left knee taking the brunt of it. But then, it was a bit sleeting and I was actually carrying a gift from the Tivoli and was in a hurry of sorts. Knee's doing much better, but it's still slightly bloody.

Yesterday was a marathon travel day back, as I took a Eurostar from Paris into London, met a couple of friends and then had to hurry to Heathrow with a stop at the hotel because I left an item there to pick it up. The flight back was surprisingly between a half and third empty.

Once again, thank you all!

The Eurostar is meant to be a great ride - hope you enjoyed yourself! :D

Good to hear you are home and you have had a good time :D

We are not surprised you had a fall, you seem to run everywhere at a million miles an hour :roll:

When we were waiting on the station for you you ran past so fast we missed you completely :roll: :roll:

Hope the knee heals up OK.

It was great to meet you Goldeneye :D
