They came and filmed an event for background information, and the whole thing was presented quite well.  Another of my friends runs Maelstrom LRP in the UK, and he was approached by ITV for their series on 'tough gigs' were they sent stand up comedians to do gigs a strange events / festivals.  He decided the risks were too high to participate, but when I watched the show they put the LRPers across reasonably well, with a balanced view.  If you can find a copy of that show then I would recommend it as the closest thing you might get to what they might be currently planning.All in all, it sounds interesting.  I'll certainly watch...Cheers,Dan</blockquote>
