I have recently moved to Blackpool and I am trying to get to know what it is all about by visiting it’s most iconic landmarks and attractions. I have previously visited the Coral Island Arcade on the Blackpool Promenade and I had a great time. However, this time I am visiting the world famous Madame Tussauds waxworks.
While I knew what Madame Tussauds was I still was unsure about what to expect as I walked to the attraction through the wind and the rain of a Monday afternoon . Despite the weather I was very much looking forward to seeing what the waxworks had in store. Having sought refuge from the unpleasant weather in the reception of the Madame Tussauds I was soon through the doors and into the Madame Tussauds attraction. Immediately I was surprised by the red carpet and the fake reporters on the walls all holding cameras while the lights flashed and moved all around. The fake red carpet entrance made me chuckle a little and put me in good spirits for the rest of the attraction.
The first celebrities that I saw were the hosts of Strictly Come Dancing Claudia Winkleman, Tess Daly and Bruce Forsyth and I thought that the wax works were extremely convincing and well made. Especially the sparkly jacket of Bruce Forsyth.

00:00Hello my name's Luke Patrick, I'm a journalist for the Blackpool Gazette.
00:03It's a very wet and windy day here in Blackpool but we're still here trying to
00:08get to know Blackpool and go to the best landmarks and that's what we're
00:12doing today, so let's go and have a look.
00:30So we are in Malibu to source now, this is the gaming section with the
00:56YouTuber DanTDM, the Diamond Minecart. I didn't know YouTubers were actually
01:01going to be in these sections so if someone's watches quite a lot of YouTube
01:04this is this is quite cool. I will be completely honest I thought it was a
01:09person when I first walked in and I was quite confused but this is amazing and
01:13the detail is amazing and I can't wait to see what else is up in Malibu to source.
01:27So now we've come to the football section, well the sporting section and I
01:33just wanted to film this because it's actually held off the ground for the
01:41things, for the Joe Hart one, it's stuck onto the wall there. I don't know if
01:45that's my favourite one so far but I think that's probably the one of the
01:49ones that's most impressive with it off the ground and held up like that. Yeah
01:54definitely very impressive.
02:06I just wanted to get the scale of this waxworks, how impressive it is. I'm quite
02:12tall and he's much taller than me.
02:25The VIP section, very good red pip waxwork.
02:35All right so I've just come out of Malibu to source now, absolutely amazing. I will
02:55definitely be going back if they introduce a new waxwork or anything
02:59like that, a new section. I think the favourite ones, I think my favourite one
03:03has got to be right from the start, it was the ET one, ET on the bike with the
03:07blanket on it. Absolutely amazing, definitely come here to Blackpool and I've
03:11really enjoyed it, it's been great.
