You never know who is watching the show

Chris Jackson | 18:00 UK time, Monday, 21 March 2011

When I am out filming and looking down the lens I try and imagine a single viewer at the other end.

It's an old broadcasting trick which helps you feel more at ease by forgetting there is a team of people behind the camera. If you actually pictured the umpteen thousands of people who'll be watching you'd freeze with terror!

So it's great, if a little unexpected, when someone sends me a picture of a real viewer.

Only this one appears to be furry and strangely mesmerised when I pop up on the screen.

I am wondering if it's a hangover from the time I turned my own cat into a hypnotherapist. Perhaps unknown to me George put out a subliminal message to all other cats that they must watch Inside Out whenever it's on?

I always keep a keen eye on our viewing figures, but no-one can tell me if feline fans are counted

I love to hear from our human viewers too.

Gabrielle saw our film a couple of weeks back on the . I thought there can't be many of them around, but Gabrielle's dad James is also such a craftsman and works in his back garden in County Durham. It's small world!
