LO4 Producing the radio show

Production schedule: Matt

Offline edit: Frazer

I decided that It would be best to create an offline edit of the show which we were creating that it is important to have a plan to work to when creating a final product. I will take a few steps in creating the offline edit due to the fact that we recorded the piece several times  in order to get the best takes possible for the final piece. This will mean that to start with I will have to select the version of each line which I want to use and then put them all in order on an audition programme. By sighting the issues that arise from a raw version of the show with no effects or audio editing it will be clear what edits need to be made in order to make sure that the final product is up to a professional standard.  

The offline edit for the first episode is below:

As well as this it will be easier to create the final product after having prepared an offline edit because the takes that will be used for the final show have already be decided upon. 

Equipment Setup: Oliver

Recording audio:

Frazer: It was my job to speak for a section of the radio show. 

Evidencing editing:

Pictured above is the final edit for the radio show, this involves the presenters audio, bedding music, sound effects, adverts, jingles and music. All of which was organised onto individual lablede tracks to making editing easier and clearer.  

Throughout the production a variety of changes and effects were added in order to produce the final professional radio show.

Pictured above can be seen all the assets used as part of the radio show. This involved: three separate bedding tracks, presenters audio, music tracks (No Scrubs, Feel it still, Fluorescent adolescent), radio jingle, The Leadmill advert, big ben bong, news jingle, DJ scratches and radio static for transitions.

Evidenced above can be seen the use of the echo effect. This was added in order to provide a smooth transition between audio clips. This is because by introducing a echo, it removes the usual harsh and abrupt finish and allows the audio to fade out cleanly, making for a more professional show. In addition to this, it can also be seen to make aspects of the show more dramatic and draw attention to them.

Seen above is examples of how i adjusted the levels to transition between the different elements and tracks of the radio show. The volume key frames are represented by the yellow line. As seen the music bed track volume was lowered to provide a subtle background to the audio of the presenters. Key frames were also added to fade out the bed music as the song is introduced. In order to smoothly introduce the song a cross fade was used in addition to lowering the volume, the volume was then dramatically introduced once the song was introduced by the presenter, as represent by the steep line. This is synonymous with the style of most other radio shows of a similar genre. 

In order to ensure the volume of the radio show is consistent throughout as seen on all professional radio shows, once the final edit was finalised all the clips were selected and the "match clip loudness" was selected this ensured none of the audio peaked and was all consistent throughout.

Throughout the edit various roles were undertaken by different team members. The radio jingle was recorded and edited by Charlotte, with Matt and Frazer producing the initial offline edit, and myself editing all components together into the final radio show.

From feedback from peers and self assessment it was decided that a few changes would be made. This involved re-recording the radio advert in order to get clearer audio which was then edited into a new version of the advert. In addition to this, from feedback it was noted that the levels of the bed music was marginally to loud in places. Subsequently, using the key frames i lowered the gain of the clip in certain places to make the audio of the presenters clearer and more defined/ not overpowered.

Linked below is the finished product:

LO4 Evaluation of radio show

Evaluation of the flow

D2

The flow of our show isnt bad as we have a good back and forth with the presenters to keep our listeners engaged and intrested, which fits with the conventions of this type of radio show, however i think the flow couldv'e been improved if we had crowd soursed more experienced voice actors to present our radio show as i think they wouldve had a better back and forth. I belive that this show dose forfill what we set out to make as the content and laguage used is appropriately local an will appeal to the set out target audience.

By comoaring our show to the BBC 1 breakfast show it thing the flow wouldbe been prodominately helped and carried if there was a more up beat nature to the presenters tome of voice as i notices in my LO1 work that the convention of a breakfast show was that there is a very up beat tone, and i think that ome of our presenters lacked this.

When recording we noticed the audio levels for some of our vocals were very different as some were very loud and some spoke slightly quieter making some listeners sound over bearing, however we over came this by editing our audio levels using adobe audition we were ablw to fix that by altering the gain of the audio,



Strengths

I have identified that the strengths of our radio show is that the content  of the show is very will aimed towards our intended target audience and i think that they will definitely find these issues rateable and engaging.

Weaknesses

I have identified the weaknesses of our radio show, which are that the sports section doesn't include a lot about local sports teams or events and the back and forth between the the presenters could be helped by interviewing and sourcing presenters so that they have a more natural dialogue and would better fit the conventions of our radio show and will keep the listener interested throughout the show.

Changes and amendments

As i a said before if i was to do this again i would have the radio presenters be crowd sorced using star now to achive a better flow and to allow avoid empty space or any mumbling. I would also change the content of the sports section as it dosent refer to any local sporting achivements, which would better suit a local radio show.

LO3 Codes and Conventions of Genre of planned show

LO3 Codes and Conventions of Genre of planned show

The codes and conventions of a breakfast show is to be very up beat in the approach and the presenters

should aim to communicate this and enforce the ideal partner/ideal self. The show must be light
hearted and not to be to hard hitting or serious as it is first thing in the morning (however the news
section must be fully candid) and people want to be motivated. In my lo 1 research i noticed that allot of 
radio shows have funny talking segments which are based on everyday life i.e. dating etc. The breakfast 
shows will also always play music to get their listeners motivated. I also noticed that they often have 
listener call in for prizes or song choices, this helps to get the audience involved in the show. 
I have also noticed that in the conventions of a talk show there is a great deal of back and forth 
between the presenters, which keeps the audience engaged and listening it also allows for anecdotes
and content to be communicated seamlessly.

D1

The presenters use a peer to peer mode of address to as it is a chatty and relaxed for of communication, 
many local radio stations will use quiloquial language in their radio shows, we should consider this as our 
radio show will be local to sheffield and should look in to putting local phrases into oir script.

A convention of Local radio stations i.e. Sheffield live advetrises local places and servises i.e. Mercury 
Taxis, a local sheffield based taxi service. This is an example of synergy and would apply to our radio 
show. 

How our planned ideas reflect these codes and conventions

By looking at the running order of our planned script you can see, our planned idea reflects the codes and conventions as we planned our radio show so that we were not having hard hitting content in our discussion section and we have put music at the begging of our show and will motivate people to get out of bed. We have then altered our running order so that the sport section came up before the news section to ease our listeners into the News section, which may be more hard hitting. We have also included a 'Topical discussion section, which allows us to fill our show with anecdotes and stories, which can be sent in by listeners and our listeners will find them relatable.

D1

in our radio show we intend to advertise local bussinesses such as Leadmill, this is apropritate as it will appeal to our local listeners and our target audience of 18 - 25 year olds.

In acordance with our identified and required codes and conventions of a breakfast radio show we should aim to use peer to peer mode of address with a friendly northern acsent to make the audience feel a ease, we should also aim to use quiloquial yorkshire terms i.e. Mardi, ay'up.

Scheduling and justification

We have scheduled for our show to begin at 06:00am-10:00am as from this time
Our show will feature several different sections in order to make it both fit into the codes and

onwards university, work and college students will be starting to wake up to begin their 

day and they will be able to listen to this on the commute, whilst they get ready or both. 

The radio show will finish at 10:00am and then switch to a different show which will be 

hosted by different presenters 10:00am is a good time for this after 4 hours the 

presenters will need a break and as people arrive at work and college they will 

inevitably tune out anyway making this a good time for a change over.

Matt

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------·         
Content

The content of our radio show will feature a talk show segment. This is because we are 

creating a radio talk show. Our demographic target audience are 18-24 so the content within 

our show should reflect that. That’s why we will be having a segment where we talk about 

issues such as student life and the issues surrounding it. As our show will be aired in the 

morning we will be incorporating these themes in a fun and interactive way by asking the 

audience for their opinions on topics such as how to deal with a bad roommate or the worst 

night out in uni. Linking this to the target audience it is appealing because this content is 

relatable to them and they’d find it entertaining. To add, we will be playing local musicians 

alongside famous artists such as the Arctic Monkeys. Sheffield is famous for its bands and by 

having music that appreciates local talent will make students listen to it as they want to 

support and listen to good local artists. 

Charlotte

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------· 

Jingles

The Jingles for the show must build the shows brand identity and include the shows 

name and give a hint to the content of what is coming up to entice the listener in so 

they will stay on and want to listen to the show. The bedding music and theme of the 

radio show must also be upbeat and fitting with the theme and conventions of the show 

i.e. indie or techno bedding track.

News section explanation: 

While creating the news section of the SCC morning show it will be of vital importance that I select 

stories that will be appropriate for the target audience that I am trying to reach. Below I have 

inserted several examples of stories which I have decided that I would use in the show as t=well as 

the reasons I thought would be of interest to them.

1) Artic Monkeys reunion:

The Artic Monkeys are an indie rock band from Sheffield and would likely reach the same target 

audience that SCC radio attempts to reach. Therefore, the story of their long awaited 7th studio 

album "Tranquillity base Hotel and Casino" would be of great interest to the people listening to the 

SCC morning show.

From investigation I found the date that the new album was to be released (That being the 11th of 

May 2018) as well as the fact that the band would be playing two dates in Sheffield in their 

upcoming tour.

I decided that this would make a great story for the show as that it fits so accurately with the target 

demographic as well as their associated interests so well.

2) Jarvin Blake's murder

The ongoing investigation of the stabbing of Sheffield father of three Jarvin Blake is another news

story which I feel that my target audience would be interested in hearing about as that It is a 

situation which Is ongoing and one which shows the ongoing epidemic of knife crime in the UK 

this year.

From investigation of this story on the websites of both the Sheffield Telegraph and The Star I 

found that police were stating that they were confident in catching his killer and that they were 

urging the public to come forward with any "Nuggets of information" that could help the put 

together the  full circumstances of the fathers tragic death.

3) Wakefield schools cleared: 

On the BBC website I found a story about the Wakefield academies trust (an organization which up 

until recently owned 21 more schools than it does now) one of the schools which belonged to this 

family was Yewlands Academy Located in the Parsons Cross estate in Sheffield.

This story was of interest to me as that it was cleared of any wrongdoing after the police 

investigated.

I feel that this type of story would be interesting to my Sheffield target audience would be 

extremely interesting.

4) Drones Being used to crack down on south Yorkshire crime:

On the Stars official website I found a sorry about the trailing of drones in use of aiding the police 

force in the Sheffield area at night. The fact that this story revolves around the idea of increased 

surveillance as well as new technology and the police force makes me think that my target 

demographic would find it very interesting.

 

Other considerations:

When reporting news stories it is vital that nothing is inaccurate or untrue as that that could

potentially come under slander. 

the ordering of the stories Is also very important as that it matters when it somes to matching the 

codes and conventions of a real radio show as well as making an audience feel as if they are 

watching a professional product when viewing the SCC morning show. I have decided to order the 

stories as such. 

Wakefield academy of schools

Jarvin Blake 

Police Drones 

Artic Monkeys 
         

My reasoning for this was because many news stations like to have a story at the end of the news

section which is "on the lighter side." This helps the audience to start their day in a more cheerful 

mood despite knowing about the potentially upsetting news stories which they have heard. I have 

decided to do this within our show and in order to do this I have included the news of the new Artic 

Monkeys album (something that the audience would likely be exited for in order to help them start 

off their day in a good mood despite the stories that I have decided to broadcast. 

My final consideration concerns the at in which the news section begins. In many news broadcasts 

the section begins with several bulletins about what the days stories are. This is ,I feel, something 

that we should defiantly do with The SCC morning Show's NEWS section. before the beginning of 

the detailed reading of the news stories we will have mini bulletins separated by the sound of a 

ringing grandfather clock (as that this is a common sound effect used for this reason)

Charlotte: 6:04:45-6:04:52	[Start of discussion section] Good morning guys, I hope everyone’s having a good day so far So today. Welcome to our daily “Discussion section” where we talk about problems that you are facing. our topic of discussion today will be flatmate horror.
Frazer: 6:04:52-6:04:57	We asked you guys to tweet in your stories and I must admit some of them are intense. [Laughs]We took the time to sift through and find he worst ones. Hopefully we can try give positive advice.
Charlotte: 6:04:57-6:05:03	okay so the first story is about two rival flats who took it so far that a tree ended up in the oppositions flat.
Frazer: 6:05:03-6:05:07	I never understood how flats rivalled like this. See my accommodation was calm and everyone just got along really but how?
Matt: 6:05:07-6:05:09	I know right like, What happened for a tree to end up in the fight for who’s better?
Charlotte: 6:05:09-6:05:12	Basically, it says here that both flats were filled with sports students, the rugby team and the football team were constantly at each other’s necks for which is the better sport.
Frazer: 6:05:12-6:05:17	It’s started off fun because they were always hosting iconic parties such as the take down. They were super dramatic and filled with testosterone but one day the footy lads wanted to show their strength.
Matt: 6:05:17-6:05:20	They all came together and put a tree through the rugby houses kitchen window
Frazer: 6:05:20-6:05:24	Oh wow, that’s quite something. I mean I can understand why the footballers wanted to showcase their strength but this is definitely a step too far.
Charlotte: 6:05:24-6:05:26	solutions? Maybe first off, al don’t shove trees through people’s windows.
Frazer: 6:05:26-6:05:29	[laughs] Yeah, I don’t think I have much to say. Maybe keep the rivalry on the field.
Charlotte: 6:05:29-6:05:40	Going back to what I was saying earlier, my flat didn’t have tension but, in the beginning, I remember there being one occasion where there was almost a fight because one girl accidentally set the kitchen on fire.
Frazer: 6:05:40-6:05:42	Did the girl happen to be you?
Charlotte: 6:05:42-6:05:48	[laughs] No. So what had happened was one girl has set up the toaster but she put the instructions in the crumb tray.
Matt: 6:05:48-6:05:53	She thought it was storage so fast forward. Someone goes to use her toaster and a fire starts.
Frazer: 6:05:53-6:05:56	My flat mate had managed to put it out but the toaster was ruined.
Charlotte: 6:05:57-6:06:10	So my flatmate freaked out because he wasn’t supposed to use it he did just out of laziness. He tried to hide the toaster and act as if it was never there but she was very insistent that we had a group meeting.
Matt: 6:06:10-6:06:12	He confessed and we all put money towards a communal toaster.
Charlotte: 6:06:12-6:06:17	ah you see. That’s a really good way to solve an issue.  If you’ve just tuned in we’re taking about flatmate horror stories. Tweet us @SHURadio to get involved. We’ve got more after the break
Frazer: 6:06:17-6:06:23	we asked you to vote a topic and roommate horror stories by far won. Our Twitter has been going mad for the past couple of days with your story submissions
Charlotte: 6:06:23- 6:06:27	we’ve talked about the toaster that divided the flat, rugby vs football but I think the worst submission we’ve had is the mouldy kitchen
Frazer: 6:06:27-6:06:35	This story is quite something. We didn’t think we would be able to give the story justice so we had our friend Liz write it down for us. Here’s what she said:
Charlotte: 6:06:35-6:06:40	Okay so it says here: I’ve had problems with flat mates since I joined uni and I’m in my third year but when I was in my first I lived in halls like everyone else.
Matt: 6:06:40-6:06:45	There was this girl and she’d always leave her pots and plates all over.
Charlotte: 6:06:45-6:06:53	This doesn’t sound too bad but one day I was cooking and I saw her grab a pot that had been used for spaghetti or something. She’d left it there for so long that there was mould in the pot.
Matt: 6:06:53-6:06:57	And I watched her empty the pot but she didn’t wash it at all. She just left the mould floating in the sink.
Charlotte: 6:06:57-6:07:06	That was strike one. I went into her room once to borrow something and literally every plate/ bowl had some form of moulding food and she always complained that she was getting sick.
Matt: 6:07:06-6:07:10	So as a good Simaritians I decided to mention to her that it’s not helping her health, we got into an argument and she reported me for bullying.
Charlotte: 6:07:10-6:07:15	I had to go through so much to prove that I wasn’t and that’s when I realised that some people just don’t want help.
Frazer: 6:07:15-6:07:20	Oh wow that’s quite a story! So did she have to speak to the head of the building or something? Because I know usually they just give you a warning.
Charlotte: 6:07:20-6:07:45	She’s written here “the accommodation had a no billing policy (obviously) and they view issues like that very serious so they were considering kicking me out and due to recent issues amongst students. It was a time that bulling was almost on a rise and I had to get all my flat mates to help me with my appeal to the case. It was very intense and I remember the girl finding it funny. I didn’t mean to offend her I was just being helpful but innit but I guess not everyone likes that.”
Matt: 6:07:45-6:07:48	She said that she just stayed away from her and didn’t speak to her again.
Frazer: 6:07:48-6:07:53	that’s quite a mature thing to do because it would be an instinct for a lot of people to get very riled up and argue which I suppose is a normal reaction to someone lying.
Charlotte: 6:07:53-6:07:57	I can’t even imagine what I would do in that situation. Plus the stress of exams and keeping on top of work. It all worked out good for her in the end so that’s good.

Charlotte: 6:08:37-6:08:45	get involved on Twitter with the hashtag #mouldylies to let us know what you would do if your flatmate did the same.
Frazer: 6:08:45-6:08:50	Emilee said “ I think I’d go nuts and show them the room. She should’ve got kicked out for health reasons”
Charlotte: 6:08:50-6:09:10	@D_zilla has said “if I was her then I would have taken pictures of her room and her mess in the kitchen. What she did was vile and so is her behaviour. #reportthereporter
Frazer: 6:09:10-6:09:15	[laughs] well that’s a very good solution to a very big problem. Get at us at @shu #reporthereporter we want to hear from you [End of discussion section]
Matt: 6:09:15-6:09:20	Unfortunately that’s all we have time for today. Be sure to tune back in to us same time tomorrow for more of the latest news, sports and top hits. Bye for now. [Fade out] [Play station jingle again.]

As can be seen from the key above different people from the group have added different sections from the script. It was Frazer's Job to sub edit and correct all of the different sections as well as to add the time codes.

I feel that this script will reach our audience appropriately as that the discussion section revolves around university life and the adverts also fit with the audience I am trying to reach.

Charlotte:

Suspicion was raised in relation to the finances of the company last September when an abrupt announcement was made that they would no longer be running 21 of their locations including the Sheffield based Yewlands academy.

Next it has been revealed that south Yorkshire police are looking into plans which will see drones used to combat the rising crime in the Sheffield area. 

Frazer:

6:02:15-6:02:20

Yes, the drones are going to take to the skies at night scanning the ground for any suspicious activity. This is a trial of a planned national use of the technology. 

Matt:

6:02:20-6:02:25

This weekend we saw Daniel Ricciardo won the Chinese grand prix after Max Verstappen and Sebastien Vettel collided with each other and Lewis Hamilton called his performance a “disaster’. 

Frazer:

6:03:00-6:03:10

It has been a hard start to the F1 season for Lewis Hamilton after finishing 4th this weekend and not having won a race yet this season leaving him in 2nd place on the leader board below Sebastian Vettel. 

Charlotte:

6:03:10-6:03:15

In boxing news, Heavy weight boxer Tyson Fury announced his long anticipated return to the ring for the 9th June at the Manchester arena against an unconfirmed opponent. 

Frazer:

6:03:15-6:03:17

Who do you want to see him fight ? 

Charlotte:

6:03:17-6:03:23

I would really like to see him fight AJ I think that would be a massive fight, but Joshua has his WBA mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin to fight first, which leaves Deontay wilder open for a big showdown between Fury and Wilder. 

Frazer:

6:03:23-6:03:35

At the Commonwealth games in Australia the England team win the gold in women’s netball, beating the Australian favourites 52-51."It's my dream come true," said head coach Neville.

[Start of discussion section]

Good morning guys, I hope everyone’s having a good day so far So today. Welcome to our daily “Discussion section” where we talk about problems that you are facing. our topic of discussion today will be flatmate horror.

Frazer:

6:04:52-6:04:57

We asked you guys to tweet in your stories and I must admit some of them are intense. [Laughs]We took the time to sift through and find he worst ones.

Hopefully we can try give positive advice.

Charlotte:

6:04:57-6:05:03

okay so the first story is about two rival flats who took it so far that a tree ended up in the oppositions flat.

Frazer:

6:05:03-6:05:07

I never understood how flats rivalled like this. See my accommodation was calm and everyone just got along really but how?

Matt:

6:05:07-6:05:09

I know right like, What happened for a tree to end up in the fight for who’s better?

Charlotte:

6:05:09-6:05:12

Basically, it says here that both flats were filled with sports students, the rugby team and the football team were constantly at each other’s necks for which is the better sport.

Frazer:

6:05:12-6:05:17

It’s started off fun because they were always hosting iconic parties such as the take down. They were super dramatic and filled with testosterone but one day the footy lads wanted to show their strength.

Matt:

6:05:17-6:05:20

They all came together and put a tree through the rugby houses kitchen window

Frazer:

6:05:20-6:05:24

Oh wow, that’s quite something. I mean I can understand why the footballers wanted to showcase their strength but this is definitely a step too far.

Charlotte:

6:05:24-6:05:26

solutions? Maybe first off, al don’t shove trees through people’s windows.

Frazer:

6:05:26-6:05:29

[laughs] Yeah, I don’t think I have much to say. Maybe keep the rivalry on the field.

Charlotte:

6:05:29-6:05:40

Going back to what I was saying earlier, my flat didn’t have tension but, in the beginning, I remember there being one occasion where there was almost a fight because one girl accidentally set the kitchen on fire.

Frazer:

6:05:40-6:05:42

Did the girl happen to be you?

Charlotte:

6:05:42-6:05:48

[laughs] No. So what had happened was one girl has set up the toaster but she put the instructions in the crumb tray.

Matt:

6:05:48-6:05:53

She thought it was storage so fast forward. Someone goes to use her toaster and a fire starts.

Frazer:

6:05:53-6:05:56

My flat mate had managed to put it out but the toaster was ruined.

Charlotte:

6:05:57-6:06:10

So my flatmate freaked out because he wasn’t supposed to use it he did just out of laziness. He tried to hide the toaster and act as if it was never there but she was very insistent that we had a group meeting.

Matt:

6:06:10-6:06:12

He confessed and we all put money towards a communal toaster.

Charlotte:

6:06:12-6:06:17

ah you see. That’s a really good way to solve an issue.  If you’ve just tuned in we’re taking about flatmate horror stories. Tweet us @SHURadio to get involved. We’ve got more after the break

Frazer:

6:06:17-6:06:23

we asked you to vote a topic and roommate horror stories by far won. Our Twitter has been going mad for the past couple of days with your story submissions

Charlotte:

6:06:23-

6:06:27

we’ve talked about the toaster that divided the flat, rugby vs football but I think the worst submission we’ve had is the mouldy kitchen

Frazer:

6:06:27-6:06:35

This story is quite something. We didn’t think we would be able to give the story justice so we had our friend Liz write it down for us. Here’s what she said:

Charlotte:

6:06:35-6:06:40

Okay so it says here: I’ve had problems with flat mates since I joined uni and I’m in my third year but when I was in my first I lived in halls like everyone else.

Matt:

6:06:40-6:06:45

There was this girl and she’d always leave her pots and plates all over.

Charlotte:

6:06:45-6:06:53

This doesn’t sound too bad but one day I was cooking and I saw her grab a pot that had been used for spaghetti or something. She’d left it there for so long that there was mould in the pot.

Matt:

6:06:53-6:06:57

And I watched her empty the pot but she didn’t wash it at all. She just left the mould floating in the sink.

Charlotte:

6:06:57-6:07:06

That was strike one. I went into her room once to borrow something and literally every plate/ bowl had some form of moulding food and she always complained that she was getting sick.

Matt:

6:07:06-6:07:10

So as a good Simaritians I decided to mention to her that it’s not helping her health, we got into an argument and she reported me for bullying.

Charlotte:

6:07:10-6:07:15

I had to go through so much to prove that I wasn’t and that’s when I realised that some people just don’t want help.

Frazer:

6:07:15-6:07:20

Oh wow that’s quite a story! So did she have to speak to the head of the building or something? Because I know usually they just give you a warning.

Charlotte:

6:07:20-6:07:45

She’s written here “the accommodation had a no billing policy (obviously) and they view issues like that very serious so they were considering kicking me out and due to recent issues amongst students. It was a time that bulling was almost on a rise and I had to get all my flat mates to help me with my appeal to the case. It was very intense and I remember the girl finding it funny. I didn’t mean to offend her I was just being helpful but innit but I guess not everyone likes that.”

Matt:

6:07:45-6:07:48

She said that she just stayed away from her and didn’t speak to her again.

Frazer:

6:07:48-6:07:53

that’s quite a mature thing to do because it would be an instinct for a lot of people to get very riled up and argue which I suppose is a normal reaction to someone lying.

Charlotte:

6:07:53-6:07:57

I can’t even imagine what I would do in that situation. Plus the stress of exams and keeping on top of work. It all worked out good for her in the end so that’s good.

get involved on Twitter with the hashtag #mouldylies to let us know what you would do if your flatmate did the same.

Frazer:

6:08:45-6:08:50

Emilee said “ I think I’d go nuts and show them the room. She should’ve got kicked out for health reasons”

Charlotte:

6:08:50-6:09:10

@D_zilla has said “if I was her then I would have taken pictures of her room and her mess in the kitchen. What she did was vile and so is her behaviour. #reportthereporter

Frazer:

6:09:10-6:09:15

[laughs] well that’s a very good solution to a very big problem. Get at us at @shu #reporthereporter we want to hear from you
