How many times have you been on Tv?

Once in the crowd at a football match.

[George 1978]

It doesn't really count, but I was one of a few pupils from my school who were "extras" in a "far-away-in-the-background" playground scene for a BBC drama which was filmed on a Tuesday afternoon June 1991 - even our Headteacher was so interested in this, and as a result, he also went with us, leaving the school without a head that afternoon! So much so that in the past year, I have completed an online application form to be a TV and film extra, but the main problem is that most of the work is in London and the South East, and I live in the "out-of-bounds" East Midlands. I did Drama for a GCSE option and attended a Drama workshop on Saturday mornings in the early 1990s (please see the Drama Lessons thread that I started on here for more details on that!), and I mentioned this as I think that it is a step in the right direction.

I also wrote to Points of View in relation to another BBC programme (in this instance, praising rather complaining about it), and I was invited to quote a sentence or two of my letter on the programme which I did. This was during the Anne Robinson-era of the programme in the mid to late 1990s.

Used to see myself on ITV's Football League Extra quite often, supporting my lower-league football club.

Fred Talbot the weatherman came to our school once, which isn't a great conversation starter these days! I could be seen in the background in our school hall as he was talking to the camera.
