Hi there - I'm new to the forum but not to Follyfoot :-) Forum member Nicky got in touch with me to find out whether I'm the same Tamara Essex mentioned on several FF fansites - and yes I am. My dad, Tony, was the producer and also wrote many episodes, and my uncle Francis wrote "The Lightening Tree". I went on all the original location-hunting trips with my parents when we'd moved to Yorkshire at the very beginning of Yorkshire TV, and I clearly remember the day we found the exact right place.
Anyway that's enough about that. I hope to be at the anniversary weekend at Leeds and look forward to it very much. See you all soon - in writing or in person!
Tamara
