Fan Club to attend the recordings (details below); Graeme will be there on the days "in a semi-intimate environment".
Tickets to the recordings are free, but limited. ALL REQUESTS FOR TICKETS must be sent to Mark Aslett (maslett@seven.com.au). In your email to Mark be sure to mention you're a member of the Goodies fan club; I was told the production company will make a note of this and try to have Graeme come over to say hello.
