Well this should be interesting Anyone else had any Television experiences?
Um
 
Well Flappit and I have been on the Panorama titles, and in the distance on a P D James whodunit, both filmed in the same week, and on the local news in a canal boat.
 
So far, I have managed to avoid being on Crimewatch.
 
We were possibles for the TV Dinners series, but we refused because we could not commit to the time needed. They wanted three weekdays for filming what was supposed to be one evening meal.

Just watched it on 4oD.
 
TV did what it seems to me it does best - take a basically nice bloke and poke fun at him whilst at the same time taking some truely dreadful people and turning them into heros - or in this casse heroines.
 
I gave up watching TV several years ago - now I remember why.

Oh the whole thing is a complete "P" take, the "contestants" surely know that before they go into it? I think Nigel had a lot of bottle to do it at all.
I wouldn't be surprised if the TV people didn't set up the gangplank at the entrance to his house just for effect - etc etc..

What a tedious bunch of people... And a painfully artificial programme.
 
Does anyone remember when programmes like this were "real" and not manufactured? I recall particularly a Holiday programme where two familes holidayed together, one week in the venue of one family's choice, the second week in the other's. The aim was to see if either family could convince the other of the virtues of their style of holiday - at least that's how the first series was. But in successive series the producers progressively matched more and more extreme families against each other and put them in situations where massive arguments were almost guaranteed. Switch off time....

When i was 12 my year at school was selected to go on the kids morning show "motormouth".
 
Some of us were selected to not only sit in the audience but to be contestants on the game show "It's Torture" me and my mate were lucky enough to be chosen and got gunge and stuff all over us, we lost though but it was a great day out for a 12 year old!

Nigel came across as a really nice guy and I felt the others all were out to make a fuss about anything they could.When your not doing house renovations you have dust so it was only to be expected considering the work he id doing on his house.What a dreadful person the cake making guest was couldnt stand her,liked the other ladies legs,the winner.I felt Nigels marks were unjustifiably low,he was judged on his house renovations as much as anything,but I enjoy"Come dine with Me " and it was nice to see someone I could relate to.
