We were interviewed by a presenter named Isla Traquair, and Bob and Lorenzo turned out to be total pros at being in front of a camera. Then Catherine the publicist, Lindsey in marketing and the Fickling brothers took us for a huge lunch before we lurched back the train, the Etherington brothers to Bristol and me to London. I got to check in with my lovely picture book editor, Hannah, and on the train back I got started on a comic I promised ages ago to \u003Ca href=\"http://ztoical.livejournal.com/\" class=\"lj-user\">ztoical\u003C/a> for her anthololgy before I fell sound asleep because of my big lunch and woke up at Paddington station.\\r\n\\r\nHere's Isla interviewing Lorenzo while he pretends to do work on-screen. He actually made a whole comic strip featuring Isla, which was way beyond the call of duty but very cool all the same. Lucky woman!\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/dfc_ch5_c-4f273a0f70.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nThis is the DFC headquarters in the Fickling basement:\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/dfc_ch5_a-efb0e2ea77.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nAnd here's Bob and me, proudly comparing our very last-century cell phones. (There were a lot of long silly pauses in the whole filming process.)\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/dfc_ch5_b-1c0f5579cf.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nCatherine's going to get back to us about the TV times; she says it'll run on the news at 12;30, 3 and 5 either tomorrow (Thursday) or Friday. I don't actually own a telly, so someone please let me know how it went! ...Only two more days until \u003Ca href=\"http://www.thedfc.co.uk\">DFC\u003C/a> take-off! :-D","2008-05-28T17:11:00.000Z","etherington-brothers-and-channel-5",[],"etherington brothers and channel 5",1776628722787]
