Craic'd Up In Clapham

Last year's series of shorts shot at the Harrow Campus for BBC Switch has been turned into a series called "Off The Hook" currently airing on BBC Three and is two episodes in.

They can both be found on the BBC iPlayer and the first episode is basically all the original "Fresh" shorts made last year including the Freshers' Fayre scene where myself, Sophie and Eric can be seen as well as Troy Putland dressed as a toadstool.

I'm not too sure about the plot itself as most of the characters seem rather contrived, as do the plotlines but the way it's shot makes places such as Area 51 look a lot better than in real life.

The filming for the rest of the series took place last Spring although I didn't appear in any scenes this time round as I was working on my dissertation, and going out on general piss-ups.

In fact it's fair to say I did more of the latter.

Speaking of which, I'm heading back over to London again tomorrow evening, Clapham to be more specific where Barry's celebrating his 24th birthday along with Phil Harris, Annabel and a few more we're hoping to get along.

I've been asked to hassle a few people over, particularly Chris Chilvers although I bet he's tied up enough with his Odeon job and various shifts at Classic FM.

Phil was particularly exicited about my presence although I bet he's more keen to use the opportunity to make more jokes about Barry's antics towards me when he's had a lot to drink.

It's only a bit of fun though and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more people who I haven't seen for months.

I'm hoping that nearer the time of graduation we can get all of us reunited, and that includes Pete and Danielle as they did play a big part during the last three years.

Let the good times continue.
