Come One, Come All! Save The Hour's Second Twitter Trending Party!

#SAVETHEHOUR’s SECOND TWITTER TRENDING PARTY - HELP US GET A SERIES THREE

WHAT:  A get together on Twitter to get #savethehour trending!
Last week’s extravaganza was a great success! We didn’t trend, but we did get the attention of Kudos and had very special participation from our very own Lisa Greenwood (Sissy Cooper), Oona Chaplin (Marnie Madden), and Kevin Sargent (Composer, Series Two)! Now is our chance to continue to spread the word and moreover, spread love for the show to the powers that be! The more we do, the more they take notice.

WHY:  The Hour was canceled before it’s third and final series on a major cliffhanger, without closure for the characters or the fans. Many recent fan campaigns such as the one for Community have used Twitter to show “the powers that be” viewer dedication to their favorite show. As a widely used social media platform by “people of influence” and fans alike it’s a perfect way to show in great numbers how much we care about The Hourgetting a final series to come to its intended conclusion.
KudosTV, the cast, and the creators are all eager to finish the series.  Lets try and make it happen!

WHEN: SATURDAY, MARCH 23rd @ 9 PM GMT  It’s the weekend, so hopefully more of you will be able to attend! MARK YOUR CALENDARS! (TIME ZONE CONVERTER)

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?
Join us on Twitter this Saturday!

• Tweet @BBCpress, @BBCTWOUK, and @KudosTV (the show’s producers),@BBCAmerica your desire to see a third and final series.
• Make sure to use the hashtag: #savethehour in your tweets so we can get it trending!
  
  Secondly:
• Feel free to tweet any news outlets or “celebrity” fans as well, telling them about #savethehour and a need for a third series. Ask for a mention!  Some great candidates are:
• The Guardian (just did an interview with Ben mentioning The Hour’s cancellation)  
• The Telegraph (mentioned Ben's interview about the cancellation)
• BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2 (or any other radio stations, try for an on air mention)
• Radio Times 
• Digital Spy
• TV Guide's Matt Roush (wrote a glowing review of S2 in the U.S.)

• This is far from limited to these folks, however.  Also, please remember to be respectful no matter who you are tweeting.
  
  I DON’T HAVE A TWITTER: It’s completely free and easy to make one! I hardly used Twitter before this campaign. Now I’m using it often.
  
  To trend we need absolutely everyone who is a fan of this show or who knows how it feels to lose your favorites before their time. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never campaigned, are a casual fan, a hardcore fan, or a friend of a fan; are new or old to the fandom, or have thought about watching but have not gotten to it yet. It doesn’t matter if you don’t Tumblr, or haven’t been a part of the campaign yet. Don’t be shy!   You are all welcome, and we would love and appreciate the support!

Here are some handy reminders by belspond about tweeting. 

By all means continue to tweet daily as well.  Keep the #savethehour tag active. 
Lets show the BBC this show has an amazing, dedicated following that wants a series three. Lets give the series the chance to close as it was intended.  Fans can change things.  

Whether you are in this fandom or not, please help us realize the reality of seeing our show finish as we had all hoped desperately for.  Please promote this anywhere and everywhere!  Tell your friends.  Spread the word to as many people as possible.  Thank you!
