After what must have been an exhausting week in and around Cambridge, the second series of Atching Tan has been recorded. I wasn't there for the recording, I was revelling in the seclusion of my London base, researching more Romany history, but Sinead will be filling you in on all the gory details and amusing anecdotes of the week soon. If we're really lucky, we might even manage a guest slot from one of the actors, too.
The series is currently under the metaphorical editorial knife, what with things being digitised now, reels of tape don't need to be cut, but it is being made ready for airing. Later this month we'll be holding a listening event for members of the BBC and other journalists to give us their opinions on the series. What people have to say about the series is very important - we need to make something to which people are going to want to listen, whether they are members of the Romany or settled community. If we're going to break down barriers and increase positive communication the radio series has to be right.
I don't have broadcast dates for the series yet, but I will pass them on as soon as I do.
Right now, my time is being spent organising the listening event, so I've not been researching in the British Library for the past two weeks. I'm meeting with the lovely people from Traveller Education Services in Cambridgeshire and Suffolk next week to discuss the development of the education pack. I think that I've made good progress with it over the summer, but it has a long way to go yet.
If you're back at school, university, or work after the summer break, I hope that it hasn't been too much of a shock for you. Catch you soon.
