    How do mate? Have you popped into your local station to have a chat with the current crew? No harm to do so if you haven't already. Be careful what you say during the interview, eg don't start on about something unless you know what you are on about.

    Bring a bottle of water with you into the interview. If you are asked an awkward question, take a drink while you compose your answer. Don't make it obvious though!

    Good luck with it mate!
