    my mum got a call from a production company and they said they were filming a few doors down, they asked if the could use our garden to put the camera's in.

    they said they wood pay 100 per day so my mum said yes.
    2 days later we get a call and they say could they use are living room and kitchen and toilet facilites and they will now pay 400 per day.

    obviously they didnt turn it down, my mum suffers from cancer and obviously it cam up in a conversation with hammond. when they left on friday he personally gave my mum a card and some flowers.

    they were filming a program called incredible worlds but as he only had speaking parts he was in our house most of the day

    i couldnt beleive all the lazy fecking police that kept turning up and hanging around outside just to get his autograph

    i had a little run in with the police the previous week
    i did think about noting all there reg numbers and reporting them
    as they clearly had nothing better to do
