I have carelessly acquired a pile of BBC tickets for the next few weeks. I applied for two tickets for a load of things, reckoning I'd get the odd one or two, if that, as on previous showings, and got nearly all of them. The idea was my daughter would come down for the weekend to see something and do a few things, but 3 weekends running is a bit much.
These are tickets to the recordings for shows, mostly radio 4, and the BBC over allocates because they have 40% take up on many of these free tickets, so if interested you would have to be there early to make sure you get in, and I want to go, so there's only one spare ticket to anything. These are all in London and at the BBC Studios in Portland Place unless otherwise stated. You get to sit in a cafeteria/bar to wait, overlooking the news room.
The dates and times are:
Friday 9 November at 7:30pm, but to get a seat 6pm - good comedian with a stand up show and guests - nominated comedians from the Fringe (saw him last night) show going out in January.
Sunday 11 November at 7:30pm at the Soho Theatre, but will need to be there at 5:45pm - pilot TV(?) show that may never go out, may be filmed.
Tuesday 13 November at 7:30pm need to be there for 6pm - radio comedy show with a panel - there have been several series of this show already.
Saturday 17 November at 11:00am need to be there for 9:15am (ulp) - Radio 3 programme, but the most amazing people taking part.
pm me if you're interested in any of these to organise meeting up.

Tonight's free ticket is to the pilot show of a series that Sandi Toksvig and Susan Calman are hoping to run. It is called Sandi and Susan Set You Right. You've got about 15 minutes to contact me on line (or longer if you have my mobile number) if you want to come along. Will need to be in Soho at about 5:45pm to meet.

Saturday morning's tickets are to The Forum, a World Service programme on the subject of listening and is part of the 90th anniversary celebration for the BBC
The Sandi Toksvig and Susan Calman show looked promising. They worked well together and it could be an interesting partnership if they are commissioned.

Does anyone want to see I've never seen Star Wars recorded on Sunday 25 November? I suspect, but can't promise, that the guest* could be Dave Gorman - just because I seem to be stalking him currently. (I've seen him in It's not what you know and The Infinite Monkey Cage in the last couple of weeks)
Tuesday 27 I have a spare ticket see the Penny Dreadfuls record a show on Hereward the Wake to go out on Boxing Day, if anyone wants to come along.
Wednesday 28 I now have tickets to two back to back shows
Saturday 1 December a spare ticket to see Stephen K Amos and guests.
I think they run out soon - but there's one or two shows I haven't heard about that I applied for a while ago.
* I applied for Dave Gorman and Meera Syal as guests in November when the names were up, and deliberately not Jim Davidson, but there's no guarantee that
1. I've remembered correctly, and
2. that the programme hasn't changed.
Please pm me if you're interested in any of these.
