Notes

We filmed (in theory) the first run, giving cameras out. The Live TV broadcast thing is a major part of the game so I would encourage this. The plan was to later make a short film of the best of the footage, so the "programme" actually existed. In reality so little usable footage was recorded before the characters destroyed Leicestershire that we didn't bother.

Many thanks are due to David Donne, who acted as a superb ghost and second referee for the run. He was fantastic! If you have children available to play the ghosts use them. :)
