The TV festival runs from Friday PM (the MacTaggart lecture is traditionally on Friday night. This year its Jeremy Paxman). All day Saturday and until mid afternoon Sunday.
As part of the Unfest you get tickets to the TV fest Saturday night bash/dinner and the traditional TV fest events on Sunday. Ian - does an unfest ticket entitle you to tickets to the mactaggart. it would be good if it does. thanks Jem -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Brian Butterworth Sent: Tue 7/10/2007 12:53 PM To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk Subject: Re: [backstage] Edinburgh TV Un-festival- 25th August I mean at the George Hotel on the Friday night... best networking event ever... ever...
