Yeah, last time we went up there we went on the Big One. It is a shitty memory really, because of the circumstances. We had just returned home from a few days away shooting, and immediately got raided by the police. They took away our entire stock of over 200 video cassettes because apparently they were going to watch them to check for obscenity...
This didn't bother me as such, because there was nothing 'Obscene' on them, but we were due to go on the 'Trisha Show' in a weeks time. The stuff we had promised the production crew that they could have to show (Which was stuff we had shot for them specifically, plus behind the scenes stuff - Nothing porno, suitable for daytime viewing etc) also got taken away by the police too.
This meant we couldn't go on the Trisha show as planned as we didnt have the tapes etc, so we thought fuck it, and decided to drive to Blackpool instead and book into Pontins for a week to get away from it all. First night there we went on the Big One, in the dark...
We got the tapes back eventually, but mysteriously a lot of them were 'Broken' (Like a large police boot had stood on them etc) yet the police swore that they were like that when they took them away from us...
I asked why they would have taken them if they were already shattered, as they couldn't have possibly been able to view them, to check for 'Obscenity' and they didn't seem to have an answer for that... But they seemed to have an answer for everything else of course...
That's one of the reasons we got pissed off with the UK and moved Stateside instead....
