The 24 Hour marathon was for ITV's Text Santa.  That was pretty well structured with content and guests.

I can't imagine there being enough going on to sustain the kind of broadcast you're suggesting, with just the same group of folk either side of them in the queue to interview and limited amounts of appropriate VT to cut to.

I'm sure there will be several YouTube videos from others vlogging there queue experience

Good points well made Steve.

I've had some sleep since but when I wrote this earlier, the same concern about the people ahead and behind came to mind.

As H&P would have had wristbands, they would have had relative freedom to move up and down the queue. Celebs could have been brought to H&P's place in the queue for an interview.

You probably see in this and my previous post why I have never bothered approaching commissioning editors.
