Radio 1 RotS competition, a running commentary

BBC Radio 1 are giving away tickets to the UK Revenge of the Sith premiere today. Here's my running commentary....

First chance 0400 - 0700 Nemone's early breakfast show. Unfortunately I didn't get up early enough. Doh!

Second chance 0700 - 1000 The Chris Moyles breakfast show. Got through to their automated line a few times but didn't get put through to the switchboard because it was too busy. Booo! The qualifying question was "Who speaks first in A New Hope" and the answer is of course C3P0. The the woman who got through had to listen to someone speaking a line from a Star Wars movie and guess whether it was one of the actors or not. It was a bit of trick one, but I spotted the West Country twang, it was David Prowse. She got it right.

Third chance 1000 - 1245 Jo Whiley's show. Qualifying question was was "What is Princess Leia's home planet?" the answer is of course Alderaan. Once again I didn't getthrough to the studio, despite endless trying. The first guy who got on had to guess whether the line "Crush them, make them suffer" was by a fan or actor. He said fan, but it was in fact Matthew Wood who voiced Grievous. He was a bit disappointed. Then someone else had a go and had to guess "get this walking carpet out of my way" but it was so obviously not Carrie Fisher and he won.

Fourth chance 1300 - 1600 Colin and Edith's show. Qualifying question "what do Wicket and (two other ewoks I can't be bothered to remember) have in common?", answer, they're ewoks. Didn't get through. The bloke guessed that it wasn't Hayden seeing the line. Now very depressed.

BTW any tips on how to hack your way to the front of telephony queues would be appreciated at this point.

Fifth chance 14:30 Colin and Edith are now giving away marathon tickets (it's no wonder I couldn't get any, everyone is giving them away in competitions). You just have to text them, and hope they call you. One woman has won tickets already, but they're doing it again now.
15.30 One pair of marathon tickets left.
15.48 Last pair of tickets gone. Boo hoo.

Last chance 1600 - 1800 Scott Mills show. Got through to a person and they hung up! Grrr. Had enough of this. I shall remain satisfied with seeing it on Thursday.
