Your appearance on TV

Oh my! d'James and TallPaul! I am not worthy!

Oh someone please start a thread about appearing on shows - I would absolutely LOVE to hear all about it.

You start it :-p I've only done two TV quizzes but they were fun. I wanted to do the Bake Off so I could meet Mellie but the time pressure would take all the fun out of baking for me (and she no longer presents it).

The Chase. I did quite well but sadly the Chaser caught me.

Well, that settles the entertainment for the next Theatreboard meet-up.

Thanks BurlyBeaR.

d'James that's so lovely to hear - those who don't win on game shows always say they've had a great day and it's nice to hear that's true and not something they're reading off the autocue.

There is a chapter in one of Piers Morgan's memoir thingys (don't start...he writes well and I've already owned up to quite liking him on another thread) on where he meets Shaun for the first time and it is nothing short of hilarious. I gather he is NOTHING like his Chase persona.

Thanks for telling us about this - any Bradley stories? I know someone who did panto with him and has only superlatives to describe how wonderful he was. 

What did you do??

Yes Tibidabo he was very nice. I think he was quite tired as it was the last show of the day.

I managed to get the recording of Fifteen to One stopped twice because they had to verify one of my answers and I took too long on one. During that time Sandi was lovely and seemed very interested in me. That was nice. When she welcomed me to the show, I asked her about a musical I'd seen her in, but they cut it out.

It does ring a bell. She was in the musical with her too. She said they're good friends.

Just googled. Not a dream. It was called Short and Curly.

In Australia as a child in the mid 80's I was on an afternoon TV programme. Kind of a charades thing. From looking at the image I had to guess a Parasol. At this time of my life I'd never heard of this word. Needless to say, our team lost.

My sister and I appeared on ABC-our version of BBC-news in our pyjamas when a local politician came round on a Sunday with a camera crew unannounced when we were having breakfast.

I also appeared (ever so briefly) as the camera panned around at a Carols by Candlelight show.

Over here I have appeared on The One Show twice. The first time was a naked run through the studio (my manhood was covered) for Red Nose Day.

The second time my image, rather than me per se, appeared. The has the actor David Succet was on and as he played Hercule Pierot they asked for viewers to send in pictures of themselves with moustaches. Mine was selected and I have a still image of Matt Baker holding an enlarged image of me face with Alex Jones looking on.

We had a local resident in our local community where I live who committed suicide by jumping off a balcony after his Muslim parents advised he seek therapy for being gay and a year after the event there was a ceremony which I attended with other local residents and Local Councillors in support and because of this appeared in a blink and miss moment in a documentary about gay Muslims on Channel 4.

Myself, hubby, son & friend went over to locate wreckage from a Gloster Gladiator that was shot down and crashed on Senja Island during WW11, for the Jet Age Museum in Gloucester. (With permission from the Norwegian government I hasten to add!) We found quite a lot which we collected and was eventually airlifted back to the UK, some of which is/will be used in a reconstructed airframe. I still have several bits of fuselage fabric framed and displayed on a wall.

Mind you, our interviews and film was bumped down the schedule by the arrival of a rare penguin on the mainland, which got much more airtime than our piece!
