…….
Image Description: The first image features the Power to The Populist logo across the top with 'two days to go' in the same font below it. Underneath are the names of the three shows: Miss Poppycock, Your Wake Up Call, Promised Land in pink blue and green cut out lettering and underneath in white cut out lettering are the words '13th & 14th of May, FREE tickets tftv.ticketsolve.com/shows'. Across the bottom of the image there is a border of white arms and hands reaching upwards and all is on a black background.
The second image has the border of TV production equipment on a grey background With two speech bubbles in the centre and the Your Wake Up Call sun logo. In the speech bubble near the top and slightly larger, there is the quote: “I am not elitist, I know what the ordinary people want… I watch Coronation Street for crying out loud!” in orange and white font. In the lower speech bubble the words: “Buy your tickets for Your Wake Up Call FREE for 7:15pm on Thursday and Friday” in orange and white font.
The last image is a photo of the set with a raised stage, on it two green socially distanced chairs. Around it are stations to represent each member of the production team and at the front there is a camera pointing at the stage. On the left there is a monitor and finally on the back wall there is a large screen.
