SaveTheHour Flash Mob in London and on Twitter a Success!

Both in London and on Twitter the flash mob was a success!  Look out for full details on the BBC Broadcasting House flash mob later coming from our flash mob leader in London, Maureen, but for now we first have to say THANK YOU to these amazing ladies -


who braved the elements for #SaveTheHour today, because they are brilliant and wonderful and amazing supporters of this campaign and The Hour.

At the same time those of us who sadly couldn't be there took to Twitter to support them from abroad, tweeting the BBC and various news outlets such as RadioTimes and DigitalSpy to let them know what was going on.  Because of the support of everyone who took part we gained quite a bit of notice!  Highlights included:

  • Encouragement from BBC employees & an Exec!
  • Articles and Twitter promotion from the RadioTimes, the Guardian, and Digital Spy
  • Encouragement from Lisa Greenwood (Sissy Cooper) & Kevin Sargent (Composer, Series Two)
  • AN IN PERSON VISIT FROM ANNA CHANCELLOR (Lix Storm).  

Yes, that last one did happen!  As I mentioned, Maureen has more details to come on all the goings on in London, but for now I think it's safe to say once again that things have went AMAZING in London and on Twitter and it's all thanks to the support from all of you who took part (especially those who went to BBC Broadcasting House).  None of this could be done without each and every one of you.  You all were needed and everyone stepped up to the task (and had a wonderful time while doing so!).  Let's hope this is another reason for the BBC to consider finishing this engaging and intelligent series that has captured us all.

I say it a lot, but THANK YOU.  Thank you for taking part and being the best, most intelligent, passionate fans.  I'm proud to stand beside you in this campaign!   - Ash
