I realise yet again why I originally fell in love with London. Everything is so alive and vibrant. There is so much going on all around you, you can spenda whole day just people watching. I had tickets to see All star family fortunes live, I didn't need any help from the warm up guy at the TV studios, Waterloo had already fired me up. After asking 3 random foreign locals for directions we fell across a path through a blue tunnel. After passing Charlie Stubbs off Corrie, turned right into the blue tunnel. Through the tunnel, past the two people making out and back to the surface. Turned around and asked a few guys doing Parkour for more directions. The guy I asked was more than happy to help and even more happy to get that back flip off the kerb out of his system. Past the gallery with the giant astro turf seats, through the funky eateries and onto the studios.
Quickly nip to the loo, that is unless you're a lday where you'll be queuing round the corner. Sucks to be you. We get in and find out we're going to be filming two shows back to back, both with C list celebs involved naturally. Most noticeable is Vanessa Feltz with her sickelny sweet mini mee clone daughter in a bizarre looking dress with a liking for shiny shoes and her new partner, one half of Phats and Small. "HEY. What's wrong with youuuuuuuuuu" is played throughout and is proof the brothers have natural rhythm and the rest of us... don't! We laughed when we were told, clapped when we were told and the whole thingy was really groovy and different and well worth trying. Think jury service but more fun.The highlight for me was Waterloo itself though. The return journey gave us giant touch screens, funky slopes, skate park kids, grass chairs, polka dot trees, an elephant stuck in a window and a fantastic view of the thames and embankment. I'm in love with London all over again :)
