Me on TV!

Chris · 17 Oct 2002, 21:53

Hi all,

Just a quick note to say I won't be in chat this week 'cause I am going to London to film an edition of the brilliant Uk quiz "15-to-1"!!!!!!!

I will let you know how I do and when I will be on the Tv so you can all arrange to be out that day and not have to watch it!!!!!!!!

Chris

Rob The Badger · 06 Nov 2002, 19:53

So, how dya do?

Chris · 09 Nov 2002, 22:26

Didn't do right well. I got my first two questions wrong so was out at the start.

If anyone wants to see me embarrass myself, watch UK Channel 4 at 3:45pm on 28th November 2002

The questions I got wrong were:

Which square in the Italian capital is the scene of an annual horse race?

The motorcycle sport Scrambling is now known as what?

Answers will follow shortly, when you ahev had chance to have a guess!

Rob The Badger · 14 Nov 2002, 21:24

Well, I wouldn't have known that. But we were all wishing you luck I'm sure. Maybe that's where you went wrong. . .

Chris · 28 Nov 2002, 19:56

Well, thats it. it's been ont eh TV and I have now made a pratt of myself in public!!!!!!

Oh well, I will be back next year for another go.

BTW, The answers were Motocross and Sienna Square

Chris · 04 Feb 2003, 00:14

Me again!!!!!

Despite my spectacular failure last year, I am making another bid for TV fame. I have applied to go on BBC's The Weakest Link!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will let you all know if I get accepted. Assuming they want a link as weak as me!!!!!!!!!!

Chris

PS. I have just watched the film "Brassed Off" for the first time and seen myself. I am a trombone player in the background of one of the scenes. Remember them filming, but never thoguht I was in it!!!!!!!!!

Chris · 04 May 2003, 20:15

Bouncing this back up to announce that once again, I have applied to go on the television.

This time on Channels 4's Faking It. Apparently they need a newsagent for the next series so I applied!!!!!!

Glutton for punishment or what?!?!?!

A: Sienna Square

Very strange... I've been in Sienna, where annually the Paladio (horse race) is held on the town square. But AFAIK, Sienna is *not* the capital of Italy (which is, like you'd know, Rome).... very strange indeed

jcmoorehead · 05 May 2003, 14:05

you must really want to be on television dont you!

Chris · 05 May 2003, 20:07

I think it must be the Andy Warhol effect! I am determined to get my 15 minutes!!!!!

Evil nickname, I could be wrong about the wording on the question. It was definitely asking for the square but it probably wasn't about the capital. I forgot to tape the program so have never seen it!!!!!

Does anyone remember a really rubbish ITV quiz which was shown at like 3am called STASH! I was also on that. It was done to make out that members of the public were collared in the street and asked questiopns to win cash. I gambled and lost

!!!!!

Way to go, Chris! We don't get that show any more. Best of luck. It always looks so easy sitting in the living room, but I bet it's a bit harder against the clock, under the lights. Let us know how it goes
