That evening we met everyone, Mikey the pilot, Keith from Castle Air (also from Treasure Hunt) who had flown in piloting a Long Ranger helicopter, and all the others.

A long but exciting day had come to a close.

After the show
We stayed the rest of the Bank Holiday weekend in Cornwall, and the following day Ellie took us to meet Hilary - a contestant in the Derbyshire programme. I can tell you that she still hadn't recovered from her "tractor incident" and told us all about it.

Over the coming weeks, we were to find out when our programme would be broadcast. At first it seemed like it would be that Summer - then it would be December 28th, but as you know if ended up as 1st January 1990. It was a long wait, but I was able to go into Dean Street before then and I got a

private showing of the programme before it went out, although I wasn't allowed a copy of the tape until after the programme had been broadcast.

I also managed to get hold of still photos that had been taken by a dedicated stills cameraman who had been around all day. You can see him from time to time if you look closely. For example, you will see him in the small boat with Glenn alongside me as I ride the water bike. So I now have an album full of photos and slides to remind me of the day. I also got to keep the programme notes, my blue jacket and other bits and pieces - I think mainly because it was the last programme in the series. At that stage of course, Chatsworth were still hoping for a second series.
