Regular readers will recall that I shot a crime-themed video for the last Liberal Democrat party conference.
I was pleased to see, when I got a copy of Tuesday’s party election broadcast, that a little bit of the footage I shot for that on my travels around the country made it onto primetime telly on BBC One, BBC Two and ITV1.
One of my flatmates plus myself and Daniel headed to the notorious Retro Bar music quiz – although we got there a little early, offering time for several bottles of Magners before the quiz commenced. Despite this, and more trendy cider during it, we managed to score 18/20 on the girls-names-themed quiz.
We knew that wouldn’t be enough to win, though. The victorious team – excellently named The Cult of Skaro, and not led by Chris Black – got 19.5/20. They also went on to win the £50 cash prize, although, like me, may have been disappointed not to have picked up the supposed booby prize of a set of Doctor Who top trumps.
By this time, we had moved onto wine (of which Dan drank most) before moving on elsewhere for another drink. I shan’t repeat the self-pitying text message he sent me through his hangover this morning while I was bright and sharp at work (despite my journey in taking three times as long as it should’ve done).
On Monday night, I joined host Zoe-Anne Phillips, fellow LibDem blogger Andy Mayer, Conservatives Caroline Hunt and John Moorcraft, and Australian Liberal (no relation to the Liberal Democrats) Michael Medway for three hours on internet TV station 18 Doughty Street.
We had some lively debates, to say the least. You can watch our first two shows, Blogger TV and Vox Politix, in the archive respectively here and here.
Tonight at 9pm on the same channel, you can catch Iain Dale‘s interview with the Liberal Democrats’ Chief Executive, Lord Rennard. It was recorded yesterday and is already online to watch here.
