Two weeks later we got a letter explaining that we would be in the Cornwall Interceptor programme that would be filmed on Saturday 27th May. Another letter told us what to bring and wear and that we would be staying at the Bodare Hotel - right next door to Daymer Bay - which was to feature in the programme - not that we knew this of course.

We had to be in Cornwall at the Bodare Hotel on Friday 26th May by 1 pm for what was called the "Rehearsal". So we set off for Cornwall on the Friday morning of this Bank Holiday weekend. The real excitement was about to start!!

The Cornwall recording
We arrived in good time at the Bodare Hotel on the Friday, and checked in. Ellie Hay, a production assistant met us and she looked after us for the duration of our stay. We had met her at Dean Street during our visit there and she was very kind 

and considerate and she looked after us very well.

The Friday Rehearsal for us, turned out to be part of the recording of the programme.

After lunch we drove in my car with Ellie to Trevose Head and parked next to the lighthouse. We were told we were waiting for a helicopter. In due course, the yellow Jet Ranger helicopter arrived, flown by Jerry and with Annabel and Malcolm Heyworth on board.

Trucks arrived and soon we were set up to record the opening shots of the programme. We were on the cliff top with the lighthouse and the bay behind us - a lovely setting.
