The last video was of Stacey appearing on “Strictly Come Dancing”, a show that she really enjoyed doing. Appreciating a chance to relax from her normal routine, she pointed out that practice is very physically demanding. She said ‘it is really hard work, the hours you have to put in not to look good but not look stupid’
They showed a clip which was part of the Young and Homeless series. This featured “Josh” who was homeless in spite of holding two jobs. Stacey obviously cared a lot about these young people. Pointing out the Homeless population in Britain is much higher than the officials report. Often this includes the “hidden homeless” who try to keep their homeless status a secret. Although BBC3 has published extracts from these shows I coldn’t find the one with Josh.
There were questions as usual. The audience were interested in Stacey’s plans for the future. She was quite happy with how here career had progressed and how the relationship with BBC3 had developed. As many in the audience know, it can be difficult to get your next idea commissioned no matter how many hours poured into development but being able to have access to the BBC3 commissioners was highly valued.
