I am British and own a home here. But I don't live here full time - I also live abroad. Even though I'm not a full-time UK resident, am I still eligible for the competition?
Robert, I'm not production team. But having read through the T & C's I can't see anything that limits the contest to British UK residents. Although Australians, Kiwi's and the like would have trouble commuting, to make the show when they won. Just make sure you're in the UK for the finals.
I though I saw a light at the end of the tunnel .. but it was only Jay with a torch, looking for the way out!
On Crampy's point - I think you have to be available anytime after 30th September all the way through to the West End show - it's not just a case of 'finals', I don't think. Check out the T&C's.
UK Citiznes living outside the UK are welcome to enter, but if you live outside the UK you must be a UK citizen to enter the competition. It is not essential but we do prefer it if you have a correspondence address in the UK, and please also be aware that if you were to reach the shortlist stages of the competition or eventually win, you would need to be in the country for some time.
