Mums the Word

[watfordmummy]

Wonder if anyone can help. Years ago (2004) I took part in the Mumsnet programme with Carrie and Justine. Both sons were in it (aged 3 and 1) and i would love to show them it.

I did have a VHS tape of it, but it appears to be lost

I've searched on YouTube but can't find it, so please MN help me find my son's 5 min of fame. Ds2 was learning to come down stairs backwards if that helps, and I have horrendous short hair and a very Scottish accent.

Thanks in advance xx

Anyone?

Maybe bump again in office hours. Hope you find it!

Any joy yet, watford? I tried to do some searching for you this morning too, but couldn't find anything that seemed to fit the bill

I'm sure that MNHQ must have this somewhere in their archives. So, MNHQ, do you have that programme/footage from 12 years ago? It would be great if you could find it for the OP

I've had a look and drawn a blank too

Very few campaigns have enough licensing to be put online forever, it's usually around 5 years maximum. They should have an offline copy, though - it's just unlikely to be publicly available online if it's anything like modern campaigns!

Hello Watford,

We'll ask our video team if they have any ideas, fingers crossed.

No unfortunately

Hi watfordmummy

So sorry for the delay. We're having another dig around now!

If you have a look on the old Site Stuff thread from November 2004 on this, OP, you'll find at least one poster who apparently recorded the series. I don't know if they would eg still have the recordings - or even still be on Mumsnet - but attempted contact with them might be something to try.

Hi watfordmummy - would you be happy to email [email protected] with a few details so the producer can find the right episode for you? We just need your full name the name of your child.

Once we send over this info, we should be able to get it to you next week or perhaps the week after.
