Lights, camera, action - once again Thanet is under the spotlight with excellent coverage on the small and big screen.

The film The Calling, which was shot locally, is making waves and attracting a lot of attention worldwide. More and more advertising teams are latching on to our excellent location to visit and film, as are television companies too.

The other week it was the turn of Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley from BBC's The One Show to film segments for their programme.

They received a warm welcome and said how supportive the residents, the local authority and the mayoralty were.

Talking to Mr Mayor, Mick Tee, it became apparent how much he enjoyed the visit - and he and many others really put themselves out to ensure Margate came across well on television.

You can never be sure just how film will be edited and what sort of image will be created, but the good old Beeb did a grand job and the presenters were complimentary.

Mind you, there was a suggestion in the light of all this publicity for the area that a web cam in our radio studio may be a good wheeze to let people see the Lad in action on our breakfast show!

Perish the thought - it's enough to put you off your toast or cornflakes. Shakes!!

Catch up with Johnny every weekday and Saturday from 6am to 10am and every Sunday on The Vinyl Years from 7pm.
