Many of the exhibits brought back many a nostalgic memory. There were several interactive activities including television news reading, presenting the weather forecast, participating in a Coronation Street screen and actually being cameramen shooting an actor in a television production. These events were anticipated in with great enthusiasm.

In the afternoon the group proceeded to The World Heritage Site village of Saltire.
