    WHICH IS YOUR FAVOURITE GEMSTONE?

    Picture
    Hi All, 
    Sorry I haven't had much time to update lately.  If you're a TJC viewer - you'll have noticed that things have been very busy lately with one of our biggest ever clearances and now may new pieces coming through.
    I'm off to Jaipur in India again next week to meet with Amit and the team that hand craft our jewellery, so thought it was a good time to pick your brains and see what you like.


    What is your favourite gemstone, why and what type of design do you really like?  Are there any gemstones that you haven't seen for a while, and you'd like to see them return.  Now is the time to let me know - and who knows, your ideas might influence some new designs for the future.  I've already had lots of ideas - such as magnetic clasps, more bezel set jewellery and cip-on earrings that are all coming through in the future.


    Drop me an e-mail to derek.marks@tjc.co.uk with your ideas - and feel free to include pictures too.

    I hope you're all enjoying this fabulous Summer - let's hope it lasts as long as possible.  Life always feels better with good weather.  Enjoy :)

    OH WHAT A SUMMER!!

    Hi all,

    Hope you're all enjoying this fantastic summer. It's a rarity to have this length of good weather up in the great north of England - so I've been taking advantage of it as many of you have. Crack the barbecue out as much as possible, relax and enjoy. Here's a couple of shots from the garden this year which is looking amazing - the best in 8 years of living here.. See if you can spot little Jacob enjoying the weather :)

    THE SHOWCASE

    You might remember that Derek went down to sunny Bournemouth in January to film the TDN Showcase at the prestigious Sandbanks Hotel.  Acts from across the south came to show off their talents, and took time to come and talk to me for this brand new series.  It kicks off this week with singer/songwriter Helena Mace www.helenamace.com .   Catch the show on The Holiday and Cruise Channel on sky 284 this Friday at 9pm.  It's available too online at www.holidayandcruisechannel.co.uk/the-showcase.html

    ARCHIVE PHOTOS

    Here's some pictures from the first channel I presented for 2004-2007 called 'Yes Price Crash'. You'll see familiar faces like Vicky Letch, Martin Parsons and Tony Clark from the good old days of shopping TV we made in Manchester. Where on earth did I get those shirts from? :) Enjoy

    COMING SOON - THE SHOWCASE!

    Hi Everyone - a little bit of news.  I'm happy to tell you that 'The Showcase' series I filmed earlier this year will be coming to The Holiday and Cruise Channel this summer.  The series, filmed in February was a showcase night held at The Sandbanks Hotel near Bournemouth and featured a number of variety acts looking for bookings with the big entertainment venues and cruise lines.  The event, organised by TDN Entertainments was a great opportunity to bring their talents to the TV screens.  I met some extremely talented acts, and I'm looking forward to you all meeting them too.
    Look out for show times on the front page when the air dates are released.  In the meantime, the title sequence for the show as a taster is below.
