SAD

(not the mood disorder)

[edcam]

Some people have too much time on their hands.

[DulwichFox]

It was a personal invite...

Just waiting for the recall to be a contestant.

Foxy.

[MrBen]

Is that you with the grey side parting and blue anorak/blouson jacket Foxy?

[Loz]

Don't you have to keep going forever until your name finally comes up to be in the hot seat?

[DulwichFox]

Mr Ben.. I was in the audience for 1 show. Do not have a parting. Do not wear anoraks.

Loz.

You have to apply to be a contestant. Then you wait 2-3 years.

Then you go for audition. If you are lucky.

Then if they think you are 'suitable' you get to play.

Then you stand as a contestant till it's you turn.

They record 3-4 shows each day.. 6 months in advance.

When you go as a member of the audience you are searched in case you have cameras

or recording equipment or any weapons.

You have to sign a declaration of 'secrecy' and could face prosecution .

It is quite interesting in the studio. (And you get free tea and biscuits.. Whooooo.)

Not really expecting to be called up...

Foxy.

I've been to a few telly shows and to be honest didnt really enjoy them. One was a sitcom written by a girl I was dating at the time. The other was Jools Holland. The studios were stuffy, we were given 1 warm bottles of Becks each and lots of hanging around/retakes gets tediuous. As was the warm up clown they always bring on. It put me off for life.

The first chapter of Jon Ronson's latest collection of pieces, Lost At Sea (available form local bookshops and libraries), is about some time he spent with the Deal Or No Deal contingent. Here are a couple of snippets, courtesy of Amazon:

I've been to two TV recordings. The first, years ago when Angus Deayton was still at the helm, was HIGNIFY, which was pretty much done in one take except for a requested 'slight wording change' by the show's lawyer retake.

The second was a recording of the new series of "Yes, Prime Minister" last year. The warm up man (though he popped back for set changes) for that was John Sargent, who was absolutely hilarious. Arguably better than the actual show.

I,ve been interviewd on TV about 20 times nah, nah, nah, nah...

Jeremy Kyle doesn't count Quids...

I was on ATV Junior Club somewhere around 1955 or 1956, when I was six.

I "won" a competition - in fact, my father had told me the answers and then rushed down the road to post off the entry postcard so it would get there first. Don't blame me, I was only six and had a very competitive father :(

They gave me some sort of needlework box as a prize, and it was so large I dropped it. It was all live in those days, so that was probably rather embarrassing for my mother watching proudly at home.

They asked me to sing a song, so I sang Away in a Manger (hopefully it was near Christmas). They said I was the first child who had ever actually agreed to sing :)) :)) :))

Shame they didn't record TV in those days (so far as I know), I could have embarrassed my family for ever :))

The second time I was on t'telly was around 1966 when Lambeth had a school exchange programme with Moskvoretsky (sp?) a suburb of Moscow, and I got to go. It was the first ever exchange with Russia and quite a big deal given the year.

Don't remember much about the telly programme but I do remember the Streatham News making up and printing a whole load of stuff I never said, since when I have never trusted the press.

Celebrity, eh :)

Although this includes repeats on 'Challenge TV' Quids still has his darts, his tankard and his 'Bendy Bully' to prove it.

"I do remember the Streatham News making up and printing a whole load of stuff I never said"

Did the letters editor request a sabbatical a couple of months later?

[El Pibe]

"It was the first ever exchange with Russia and quite a big deal given the year"

because we won the world cup?

Linesman's home town?

Makes sense, was he presented with gifts of gratitude (corrupt capitalist baubles) he could fence on the black market?

Enormous housing estates built on the cheap, shit weather, stodgy bland diet, binging on cheap alcohol.

Yes, those 1960s kids sure were glad to be able get away from it all for a few days.

Try the waitress all week, etc.
