Time is flying at Team Good (hope you remembered to put the clock forward because if not you are definitely late, or early, I'm confused). We have already done a run through for show number two and *obvious plug but definitely true* it's looking really good. Can't really give anything away at the moment but there was a very funny bit with old people that you may or may not see on Thursday's show, you'll have to tune in to find out!

Thanks for everything you've been sending in over the weekend. Remember you can tweet your suggestions or comment on the blog. If something gets used we'll try and get your name in the credits! Anyway, these are just some of our favourite stories you have sent in:

Hope you all enjoyed the show last night! Thanks for all your tweets and comments, we read as many as we can while the show is going out, it's really cool to know what you guys think so cheers for letting us know.

Hope you saw our little extra bit at the end of the credits with Russell and Rufus Hound? We couldn't do something Cheryl Cole related without him really... Anyway, this is Russell and Rufus getting ready to pucker up! Enjoy.

Tris Cotterill | 17:22 UK time, Thursday, 25 March 2010

Ok everyone, only a few hours until show number one of series two! We recorded the show on Tuesday night and it went really well so we are all pretty excited. We will be on Twitter (@bbcgoodnews) throughout the show so remember to let us know what you think.
