Star Factor Journal Review
We were very lucky to have Jo Stacey from The Journal come to see the show. Not only did she write a nice article to preview the show a couple of weeks, but she also wrote a great review that came out the morning of the last show - and no doubt put a few more enthusiastic bums on seats!
Many thanks to Jo!
That's a wrap!
Last night the curtain came down on ACT's Summer Season show 'So You Think You've Got The Star Factor' - affectionately known as SYTYGTSF!
Another full house in Croyde gave us the noise and enthusiasm to make it a fantastic final show, with The Cider Sisters taking the final winning vote of the season.
We weren't sure how the whole idea would be received when we first put it together, but after the first few people tip-toed through the door on 29th July, they were followed by crowds week after week!
Now although this was a fictional competition, the audiences were there to vote for their winner each week and this raised the stakes for some of our 'Finalists'! After the initial excitement of a show hastily put together in a couple of weeks, some real fighting spirit broke out amongst the cast who all wanted to get the chance to win the audience's vote.
And I should reiterate here that it was a genuine vote by each audience, rather than part of the scripting of the show - until that envelope was handed to the presenter no-one had a clue who's name would be called out.
The Cryptic Quiz is Beaten!!
That's right. None of us thought it was possible, but the Great ACT Cryptic Quiz has been beaten into the ground by not once, but THREE times!
(Unfortunately it came too late for one lady who was last seen running into the woods crying "I don't know! I can't do it any more! The words! They know where I live!')
Of the answer sheets we got back from those brave enough to face the challenge, three of them all had the same score of 97!! Geniuses! Of course that meant we had to draw the ultimate winner from a hat. That ultimate winner is...
MR COLLACOTT from Bideford!
He will receive his prize of £25, while our runners up...
Rob Pudner and the dynamic duo Brian & Sue Spiegelhalter
...will get a consolation prize of £5.
Congratulations to everyone who gave it a go. Want to find out the answers? Well, read on...
