You may remember at the end of 2009 we asked for volunteers to be filmed having the Mumsnet hair cut and take part in a Mumsnet TV makeover etc. Well the final cut of the first Mumsnet e-TV magazine show is now up and ready to view (and before we go any further there's definitely a starring role/Mumsnet book/our undying gratitude for anyone who can think up a snappier title for the show. Anything other than Mumsnet Magazine TV show would be an improvement).

Made for Mumsnetters and starring - who else - Mumsnetters, the current plan is that this will be a regular show bringing you all the MN staples - AIBU, beauty tips, MN makeovers, sleb interviews, some political stuff - the works.

This episode is a trial run to see what works (and what doesn't). We already have an idea of what doesn't work (mostly any time MNHQ get involved/appear ) but we think you'll agree that the Mumsnetters are great - absolutely star material.

You can find the show in the MNTV slot on the right hand side of the page on Chat, AIBU, Site Stuff, webchats, Telly addicts, competitions and active conversations. Please take a minute (or seven) to have a look and then tell us what you think of it. All suggestions and feedback welcome (but do be gentle with us...). Oh and don't forget a name for the show.

Thanks and enjoy,

MNHQ

NorkybutNice was a total doll. I loved her. I also liked Michelle's william morris table cloth, and her mirror, and the glass bricks and brilliant white kitchen behind.

Actually, everyone was grand. I agree with whoever said below how well everyone came across, very natural and friendly.

It's rather growing on me. I might go and watch it again.

It was nice to see Princess Toady and Reality in the flesh...but the whole thing was a bit 'Why Don't you?', remember from Saturday morning TV?

I liked the outfit Princess T had chosen at the end.

FredAboutAFred · 18/01/2010 18:37

i agree i dont see the point

MayorNaze · 18/01/2010 18:36

was AIBU a real mumsnetter?

i was afraid...

i liked it. a bit twee but i think that's beacuse expressions on here such as norks etc don't necessarily transpose well into rl.

and anything with will young is always good. i want NorkybutNice's hair

FredAboutAFred · 18/01/2010 18:32

i also like Justines grey hoody

FredAboutAFred · 18/01/2010 18:32

TheFoosa · 18/01/2010 18:31

Hullygully · 18/01/2010 18:31

The grape woman was a scary loon.

the grape woman knows the Kray brothers surely?

TheFoosa · 18/01/2010 18:30

I meant more that you are a very strong personality on MN, yet you looked really sweet & nice on the vid

not that you aren't sweet & nice on here, ok, it's going to seem like a back-handed compliment whatever I say

bibbitybobbityhat · 18/01/2010 18:28

Yes hundred has the most valid point of all (and I said much the same when the idea was first mooted on here and you wanted people to be s & b guinea pigs) - what is it for? I think the answer to that question is crucial.

Perhaps you could have a cooking segment with some lovely MNetters, who then serve the meal to some others (with vino) for a lovely AIBU debate like this before all the fly ladies come in to help clean up?

TheFoosa · 18/01/2010 18:21

Royalty/Reality you are NOTHING like I imagined

WeWantYourDoofDoofs · 18/01/2010 18:19

agree BOF, a travelling soapbox.

agree Hully too, especially if they came to my town

BitOfFun · 18/01/2010 18:19

And an audience would be great for AIBU especially...a baying mob, Springer-style

Hullygully · 18/01/2010 18:18

With vodka.

BitOfFun · 18/01/2010 18:17

I like the roaming town Questiontime approach too- mumsnet comes to you sort of thing.

Hullygully · 18/01/2010 18:15

-the panel of MNers could all meet at HQ, a desk and some decent lighting and voila-

Iread that as lighting and vodka. Now you're talking, I thought.

WeWantYourDoofDoofs · 18/01/2010 18:13

Now see I liked the fact it was shot in someone's house.

mamazon · 18/01/2010 18:13

sorry to disappoint

but the heated curlers really did make a dramatic difference. I always heat them up now!

mamazon · 18/01/2010 18:12

the panel of MNers could all meet at HQ, a desk and some decent lighting and voila. cant be too much more of an expense can it

I just think it would show more of what MN really is tbh.

it would be good to see a mix of MNers giving their thoughts on various subjects...especially the more vocal posters, i wonder if they really are that forthright when sat directly opposite someone with differing views

WeWantYourDoofDoofs · 18/01/2010 18:11

@ AIBU stealth

mamazon, I wish I had hair like Michelle's I think it is lovely, and she was very natural in front of the cameras, in fact all of you were (although I too though when you screeched OMG! that you'd burnt your eyelid/eyelashes off )and was a tad disappointed
