Trinderella

Some of mine and my sister, Lucy's friends will always refer to us as the "Trinderella's", it's a nickname we've had for the last 24 years. It came from a pantomime that we did when I hosted the Mansfield 103.2 breakfast show. In the year 2000, we did our own version of "Cinderella", which we renamed "Trinderella".

I thought it had been lost to the archives of mini discs long since passed, but over the weekend, the wonderful Ian Watkins managed to find a copy and sent it over.

Mansfield 103.2 Studio

It bought back so many memories.

Firstly it reminded me of all the fun we used to have doing the show. We just always had the best time, it was total mayhem most of the time, we laughed just as much off air as we did on. We wound each other up, we drank copious amounts of tea, and just had fun.

Were we the most slick and professional breakfast show that's ever been? Absolutely not! But we welcomed everyone in, there was always time for a chat on the phone with a listener, if ever someone popped in, we bought them down to the studio to join in.

We were one big family and a lot of friendships formed during those days are just as strong today.

It was also quite emotional listening back as there were some voices of people no longer with us. My best friend Matt Genever, played Buttons and hearing his voice after 16 years made me cry, but it also made me even more grateful that Watko had found it.

There's also the lovely Steve Hartshorn, who was part of our commentary team. He and Nigel Pinnock (James Bradley) will always be my favourite football commentators.

Anyway, if you want to listen, here it is. sadly we are missing the final act, but you know how it goes. Prince Charming (Paul Richardson) eventually works out it's my shoe and we live happily ever after. Me and Paul are still very best friends.

I'm very proud of this and I'd love to know what you think.
