Hello, all!

I also just e-mailed BBC about the pilot. So, now it's only a matter of time, and wishful thinking …

Jolly good!

Hello, again!

I just got the first mail regarding the give away, and the script + photo is now off to a new home.

All the best to all of you!

And now that I've scanned the rehearsal script, and made a PDF of it, I would like to give away the original script to someone interested. I don't want any money for it, not at all, just that it comes to a good home. I don't check my Yahoo mail that often, so please e-mail me at frontdoor (a) hotmail (dot) com.

Perhaps also photocopies of the covers? (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Onedin_Line.) Please, please, please?
