I've been meaning to update you all on the last couple of days of this for ages, but I've been a bit busy. I'm actually having to do actual work during work hours, so put off writing this up!
Most of Thursday and Friday were pretty dull. Davina was doing an excellent job, but the constant competition plugs were beginning to drive me mad. At about 10 to 10 on the Friday show, however things picked up.
Davina said "Lots of you have been asking for BB updates, and we talked about it a bit earlier [during that 2 minute gap Feefs was away from her radio!], but I have some more news" She briefly mentioned Amma dancing with Ali G at the Brits, but no more than was in the papers, then she had a surprise!
None other than Penny was on the phone! They had a bit of a chat about Penny losing her voice because she spends her entire life chatting to people that come up to her. Penny still sounded quite manic, but positive. She mentioned the panto thing, and that she might be doing more in a couple of weeks. I couldn't work out if it was more panto, or just other theatre work with the same people. A rude person was trying to have a conversation with me by then.
She said she'd seen Bubble, and Davina asked what he was up to. Penny explained about him doing the marathon. Davina obviously doesn't visit here, because she knew nothing about it, but told Penny to tell Bubble to get in touch and she'd sponsor him. Penny didn't mention that Josh was doing the marathon too, which I thought was a bit strange, but as it was Penny was unlikely to be significant.
And that was it really. Everyone at Capital raved about how Davina was a natural and that Chris should be worried about his job, and then that was the end!
Sorry to be so slow, and sorry I missed the other bits of news. We probably knew what it was anyway, but it would have been fun to hear Davina talking about it.
