The Vote Now Show team at work

When I heard that the Vote Now Show team was writing and editing the programme three floors below me in Henry Wood House (opposite Broadcasting House in the West End of London) I had to nip down and get some photos. The scale of the task is daunting: twelve programmes over three weeks: each written, rehearsed, recorded (in front of an audience in the Radio Theatre) and edited for transmission during a single day.

And yet the team of writers, performers and producers in these photographs looks remarkably relaxed. I took these pictures at about 0930 yesterday morning, just after Steve Punt, series producer Victoria Lloyd and the writing team had gathered for the day's work - armed with newspapers and coffee. The fruit of their labour was transmitted at 2300 last night and, as I write, they're downstairs crafting tonight's episode. Relentless.
