Ever been on telly?

My children seem to attract the media, they have been in the local newspapers quite a lot regarding play days, local events and their school council regarding recycling and green teams etc.

Today we attracted our local regional news. We were in one of our local parks which has recently had gym equipment for adults/oap's fitted along with a table for table tennis. I had the foresight to bring a football and a childrens tennis set so not long after we arrived they put the table to use. Not long after we arrived spotlight approached us and asked for permission to film the children using the table so after checking their id (just to make sure you never know whos about) they filmed for a bit and then filmed the gym equipment with a few locals using it. Then this evening the news report came on and the children found it highly amusing to see themselves on tv lol.

I want to kill every person that says they have a system, says they have a good/bad box, says anything to show they think it's more than a game of random chance.
I'm not sure I could cope with the sheer amount of retardedness if I were to witness it live.
 
A few years back I had a few minutes on BBC news talking about a non profit organisation my partner at the time and I created.
 
I have done some extras work ( Ricky Gervais is classic, but no, not with him )

I was drinking a pint in the rovers 8 years ago.
I was in First Knight with Richard Gere and Sean Connery. We were moving trees around for close up shots ( Tree Surgeons ) and we did a couple of extra bits in that.

Also I have been in the crowd at a load of Snooker games. My brother is good mates wit ha load of the players although he plays pool not snooker and he gets us tickets all teh time... My god, I want to do a streak at a snooker tourney so bad, but when your belly overhang cover your willy, its just going to be an embarrassment for everyone not just me. LOL
 
TopGear - Hamilton show last year.
We are klang - Was show number 3, while they was doing the department of audience scene with the homeless guy I am on his left. (only one looking at the VT and not forward).

I was on telly in Argentina once, I was filmed during the World Cup '98 in (St. Etienne). There was about 5-6 of us England fans singing arm-in-arm with about 5-6 Argentinian fans (also singing) just before the game outside the stadium.

So, have you ever been on the telly? Got any proof?

My legs were on TV in a clydebank v rangers match in the 80s :D

Does that count. Those where the days when you could sit on the wall round the ground season ticket cost 12 quid for kids and you patted the player on the back when he was taking a throw in. Good old days sadly missed.

Whilst it's a game of random chance the excitement is seeing their level of greed.

I love the penny shows I also love the croc tears of other contestants lol.
 
I was in a film about twins, written for the ABC and starring myself and my identical twin brother. It was called One is One.

I had previously worked for ABC Radio, performing in radio plays for a children's program called Let's Join In.

There was a slow panning shot in the televised 1988 Royal Tournament in which I could clearly be seen desperately trying to remember how to play. I have no no idea where my copy of the video went, but the opening is on youtube. I might have been one of the fife players from around 2:50, but they filmed the whole event several times over the duration and chose parts from each day to televise, so I can't be sure.


Still proud to have been involved in, what was, a great showcase for all three service branches of the armed forces. I hope they bring it back someday.

That is amazing, makes you proud to be British, how come it was cancelled.
