    Does anyone know if we can listen to this happening live, from 3? If so, is it on one of the radio stations, or all of them?

    Thanks

    It's on 'live' around 3.45 but as always, pre recorded. 
    Thanks, wish we could listen to it while it was happening, especially today when there has to be a winner. Would be so exciting. So at that time, will they play the same recording on all the stations we can enter it from?

    I'm not scared to be seen
    I make no apology
    THIS IS ME!

    I think the recording is played at different times depending on the station. I think they don't play it live in case somebody lets out some expletives.

    You can press 1 as she starts speaking which takes about 10 seconds off and moves you on to the bit where she reads out your number.

    I assume it's done deliberately to put people off (not keen MSErs!) having too many free entries.
    When it used to be free to enter online, it was relatively quick & easy to get all your entries in fairly quickly.
    I do wonder why they don't put a much smaller limit on the number of phone entries, as after all they would prefer people to enter via one of the paid options.

    i assume theyre raking it in, so no point putting a smaller limit on
