I was on a train that stopped at a station called "Braintree Freeport". How futuristic that sounds - does Dan Dare commute from there?!

I have exchanged several emails with Emma and her colleague Simon, which has resulted in this message received today: I still haven't actually spoken to either of the producers - all they know about me is what I told them in my original email ("I saw your posting on the ASD UK forum and would like to get involved.
