You never know they might change their mind again.

Back to the original thread. I've had a reply this morning. Here it is:- "Date: 7th November 2014 Dear Correspondent Thank you for your recent enquiry regarding Underground Britain. Unfortunately, some listings had incorrect information for Episode 2 of this programme on Thursday 30th October and we apologise for any inconvenience caused. Episode 5 features the man-made caves in Nottingham and this is scheduled to be broadcast on Channel 5 at 20:00 on Thursday 20th November. Thank you for your interest in Channel 5. Yours sincerely" So get ready for November 20th - Hopefully!

I got an automatic acknowledgement and in it it states "Please note that due to the volume of correspondence we receive, we are unable to respond to any enquiries where the information is available within our FAQs<http://about.five.tv/customer-services/faqs-new> or on our website<http://www.channel5.com/>.

No not yet but I noticed on TV this lunch time that the tree was being erected in the O.M.S.

I thought I'd start this thread after going into W H Smith's this morning. They have a lot of books and other items on offer but what I thought was a great bargain this time of the year were their Boxes of Christmas Cards - All at half price including charity ones. They have a wide selection and if you send quite a few it may be worth considering. The offer doesn't apply to single cards. Have you come across any bargains?

According to a map in the EMGS Book "Sandstone Caves Of Nottingham" the entrance in front of the house on Mansfield Road led to "Gallows Hill Mines"

I've just emailed Channel 5 and asked them to explain why the Nottingham episode wasn't on and when it will be shown. I'll let you know the response.

My apologies as Nottingham isn't in this episode despite Channel 5's websiter showing it is and I've just pressed the info button while the programme is on ans it clearly says Nottingham. - Sorry

You can of course see the programme tomorrow night on Channel 5+24 available on Freeview, Freesat, Sky and Virgin

It shows as repeated tomorrow at 12.15pm

Just checked Channel 5's website and it does feature Nottingham caves tonight - see link below http://www.channel5.com/shows/underground-britain/episodes/episode-2-656

I was just looking at the t.v. listings for tonight on Sky. It shows that on Channel 5 tonight at 8pm the series “Underground Britain” explores the man-made caves under Nottingham. I would say in the Radio Times it states it's London tonight but I assume the Sky listings are more up-to-date

I remember going to the old Playhouse with a trip from school to see some play there. It was the Nottingham Playhouse from November 1948 - July 1963.

I read somewhere they were going to extend the Victoria Centre. Found it - here's the link http://www.nottinghampost.com/Victoria-Centre-expansion-York-House-demolition/story-22963003-detail/story.html

If you've not done so already you could try this site http://www.sing365.com/index.html

There's a book called "Sandstone Caves of Nottingham" published by East Midlands Geological Society with history of the caves with maps and photos http://www.emgs.org.uk/files/publications/sandstone.htm

I used to know someone who lived on the 19th floor of the Victoria Centre Flats and there was a good view form there. I would thin that the view from the top of Trent Uni must be good as well.

You've got taste Carni especially wiht Let's Jump The Broomstick - 1st 'proper' single I bought and I've still got it along with most of Brenda's vinyl albums. Ah memories!

The day before my mother died (in hospital) she didn't recognise me but she did her half sister. I don't know whether this would have been classed as dementia or not but I'll always remember it.

Melissa have a look at this site http://nottinghamhospitalshistory.co.uk/page23.html

Any more dates/days you want to know just ask.

I don't know if there was a Goose Fair that year as I wasn't even born but the first Saturday in October 1945 was the 6th.

As you say she can afford double glazing could you maybe persuade her by pointing out the money she'll save by cutting down heating costs and maybe the noise (if she's in a noisy area).

Here's a link about the history of Goose Fair. The site has links to other sites related to the fair. http://www.nottsheritagegateway.org.uk/places/goosefair.htm
