As a follow up from yesterday’s festivities on pure fm we have a clip of Matt asking the waterhole bar whether or not he can fly a helicopter around it ( Listen to it here http://snd.sc/g1HELr ). We shall put up the radio play as soon we can so you can enjoy it again and again. Don’t forget to keep donating to comic relief as their work goes on all year.

Thank you all, that is it for the moment.
We’ll be back with the podcast of the play, and the full amount we raised.
I just wanted to say an incredibally large and sincere thank you to you all.
To all of you who tuned in and spread the word thank you. Especially to Mr Mark Watson who unprompted mentioned on his very lovely blog.
Thank you to all the people at the Union putting up with us and making this happen, a big shout out to all the people at www.purefm.com.
Thank you to all the HeavyHanders who worked so hard to help me in doing this, that includes all our performers: Gemma Kilby, Owen Jones, Dom Snook, Freddie Goldsmith, Rich Langdon and Max Thompson. Also to those who dropped by and offered support: Matthew Lidierth, Matt Griffiths and Cat Smedley.
And also thank you to all of YOU who donated and are helping to make a real difference in people’s lives.
You can come back here to find the podcast and the amount we raised (unfortunately not til after monday). If you want to know when it’s up then follow us on Twitter @portsheavyhands
And please do still continue to give over at www.justgiving.com/handrelief
Thank you
Sam

Captain’s Log: Star Date, Red Nose Day
Well, here we are. Still in Third Space, starting to turn into some sort of group of dishevelled comedy hermits, sustaining our comedy influences purely by means of fizzy drinks and sweets.
The influences are disassembled, the running order for the script is finalised, the cast list is pretty much sorted, and we’ve filled this show with enough obscure references to sink a pop culture battleship.
We’re venturing outside now to recharge our solar batteries with natural life, before retreating back to our cave in order to write the script properly.
But for now, until we speak again, just know that we are struggling on. Because it’s for Comic Relief, and because we’re masochists like that.
To listen to the shenanigans tonight tune in live on http://www.purefm.com/ at 8 and prepare to laugh. Also donations are very nice as these can help people less fortunate then us all around the world.

Thanks for all your suggestions, donations and zaney time, don’t forget tune into pure fm at 8pm on http://www.purefm.com/. Finally NOM haribo.
Cheers

Boobs, Second St Patrick’s Day, Aliens, Platypus and a man with the insatiable need to see everyone as a nice person. That’s what we have so far! Not happy with what we have? Donate your own suggestion at http://www.justgiving.com/handrelief
On a side note Matt Griffiths will be attempting to fly a helicopter in the union* if we raise enough money, so if you want Matt to fly a helicopter (which you do) donate a spare bob or 2 at least. Go on.
Good morning world, we are live on radio right now so go check us out at http://www.purefm.com
We are still waiting for suggestions on this blog so please send us what you want included and we will perform it tonight live on air. All we ask for you to suggest is that you donate some money to comic relief at http://www.justgiving.com/handrelief
Any amount is welcome, so get donating!
Welcome.
We’re the comedy society at University of Portsmouth. We’re called Portsmouth HeavyHands. We’ve decided that we’ll do something in aid of Comic Relief. So the obivous answer to Portsmouth HeavyHands helping Comic Relief is: HAND RELIEF!
On March 18th (Red Nose Day) we will be performing our event which thankfully isn’t literal. We’ll be writing and rehearsing an entire comic radio play in one afternoon based on your suggestions which we will then perform LIVE on air that evening. Your suggestions can be elements of plot, character, lines of dialogue or even just a word you want included. Obviously we can’t include all the suggestions but we will endeavour to include as many as possible. All we ask is that if you want to make a suggestion you need to make a donation. You can do this by going to www.justgiving.com/handrelief.
On the day itself we’ll be taking to the airwaves of Pure FM at 10am for a couple of hours to launch the event and read out some of your suggestions. Then from 12 we will begin writing. Throughout the afternoon we will occassionally be popping back on air to give updates and also blogging HERE all day to keep you bang up to date. Then at 8pm we will be going live on air to bring you our radio extravaganza.
So please do spread the word, please do tune in, and above all please do give money.
Sam.
