This scene was cut after our first performance at Vault Festival on 11th Feb 2019. We decided that we could skip over it and just include a few lines of exposition to move onto the moment they split instead.

HANNAH: So thanks to Judith and her wonderful online presence, we were able to say without reasonable doubt that the Brampton we were looking for was in fact Brampton, Rotherham in South Yorkshire. You’d think it’d be all smooth sailing from here, but no. 

TIM: Not long after we joined the group, we got a little friend request from our lead, our Judith.

HANNAH: Ah Judith, lovely lady.

TIM: She was the admin you see, sent us a little welcome message...

*message ping* “Hello! I see you’ve joined the Brampton Community page, are you new to the area?” appears on screen.

TIM: God everyone is so friendly in the North I love that.

HANNAH: We sent her a quick reply.

TIM: You sent her a quick reply, I’d just like to say that I had nothing to do with this next interaction.

HANNAH: I was just being honest! Alright maybe I could have worded it better.

TIM: You freaked her out. I did tell you you should’ve laid low, played it more cool 

HANNAH: “Hiya! Thanks for saying hello! We’re actually not in Brampton, we’re just interested in the karaoke scene there. You wouldn’t happen to know a particular karaoke singer who goes by the name of Brampton Flowers would you?”

TIM: No response… Hannah got a little impatient

HANNAH: “I believe you may have commented on one of her youtube videos?”

TIM: Now there is the first error. Giving away the depth of our research, looking like an absolute stalker. 

HANNAH: Alright, there’s no need for that.

*message ping* “Are you moving to Brampton?” appears on screen.

HANNAH: “No, we live in London but we’re making a show about the song Mr Brightside for the VAULT Festival.”

TIM: Here, you can actually see not only a second, but a third major error. Mentioning we’re making a show, and even worse… that we’re from London. 

*message ping* “Sorry I don’t know anything about a vault festival, this group is for Brampton community only.” appears on screen. 

TIM: Not quite the answer we were hoping for… needless to say Hannah and her are no longer friends...

HANNAH: But there were plenty of other people in the group we could talk to.

TIM: That was until we logged on to facebook the next morning to find we’d been chucked out of it.

HANNAH: Yeah it wasn’t ideal, but at least we now knew which Brampton to focus on. We went back to our extensive list of groups to see if we could infiltrate a different one. We still had two accessible Brampton groups brimming with untapped potential for answers.

TIM: Change of tactics, don’t arouse suspicion, just comment on the odd post, establish a presence. We’re not making a show - we’re just curious. We’re NOT from London.

HANNAH: It’s all about blending in. Going undercover. One wrong step and we’ve lost our trail.

TIM: Go on then - what were we left with?

HANNAH: West Melton and Brampton Litter Pickers &  Barnsley, Brampton, and Rotherham dating.
