I am giving Cactus Telly 5 stars, based purely on the fact that when I came here I had an awesomely awesome and wicked and fab time.
Not having any other point of reference to go by, I'm just going to wing it and say this is a teensy weensy studio, cos it really is, but the people I met who worked here, albeit on a freelance basis, were lovely and made us feel dead important, even though we weren't.
There is a miniscule car park behind the big walls, and you can see the green room at the front of the building, next to the entrance. When we arrived, the guy at reception was all like 'Hi Lucy! Hi Steve! How was your journey? Come on in!', which was nice, because we were a bit tired and grumpy and that cheered us up. Then we were ushered into the green room (which has a green carpet in, hence 'green room', and given food and juice and pastries and a tv remote so we could cartoon it to the max while we snoozed on the comfy sofas.
And then a bit later we went to have our makeup done, which was super exciting because the makeup lady was the same one who does RICHARD AND JUDY.
And then we went on Saturday Kitchen and I drooled a bit because of the food and James Martin and THEN we drank some very nice wine back in the green room and THEN James Martin was dead nice and made us follow him in his Bentley to the London Eye. Which we didn't bother going on cos we'd been up since 2am, like.
Anyway, yay for Cactus TV, what a lovely little place.
PS There are no cacti anywhere in the building. I think they need to think about that one. read more
