Showzam
Sarah Elliot from Blackpool Council used her time on the plinth to promote Showzam by hosting a '52 card Pick-Up' whilst dressed as 'Queen of Hearts'. Sarah threw a 52 card deck into the crowds every 10 minutes, encouraging people to pick them up and take part in the game. The person whose card matched Sarah's then won tickets to see Showzam in 2010.
The winners pictured were at The Plinth sightseeing when they decided to take part in the card game. They each won tickets to a Showzam show of their choice. Looks like every cloud does have a silver lining!
