It will no doubt have massive publicity. Reviving a comedy format that was written & produced over 45 years ago will be very difficult. Expectations will be very high.
Perhaps recording the names in her note book.
Thora Hird later to be made a Dame was part of the furniture on a late Sunday afternoon with Praise Be ! (1973-90) A spin off from Songs of Praise. My dear old gran would be singing along to both programmes.
The Grecians have got a poor record at the Pirelli Stadium in both the Conference & EFL. Seen every Grecian game there in that time. With the exception of the 4-4 in 2008 the rest have been pretty dire affairs from a Grecian point of view.
Good news is I’m not going, so like MK Dons where I had...

Cec Smyth is 2nd from left on the top row.
David Brown is top row 2nd from right.
Graham Weeks is bottom...
Wrexham keep the pressure on Notts County at the top of the NL with a 2-1 win at Altrincham on Saturday evening.
A sell out crowd of 4,865 at Moss Lane.
That would not happen at SJP i guess. Even for a game that’s not a first class fixture, the ground safety regulations would have to be adhered to for the Safety Certificate. ie Stewards, someone in the Control Room, Ambulance outside & the rest that goes with that.
