I'm going to be on 'Going for Gold' on Tuesday C5 12:45 if anyone fancies watching and doesn't have a busy lunchtime. i might even be on wednesday too if I win.
Just pipped at the post today. Almost got there at the finish but ran out of time. Good effort. Well done - hope you enjoyed the experience and that the kids like the bus and t-shirt.
Thanks for the support. i had a great time, everyone was really friendly. Sadly no tennis questions, th eguy i beat on wednesday was a maclagan, but no relation to miles that he knew of! I think it's the same theme tune, certainly sounded like it. As for Alex and the painful viewer questions, everyone i speak to seems to hate her, poor girl, awful job though, but she's a really nice person. I'd definitely recommend anyone else applying for shows, even if you don't win, they're still good fun. I'll keep you posted if I get on the finals, they'd only just found out yesterday they'd been given the goahead so didn't really know any more details.
Well done for winning a couple of shows. I haven't seen it since it came back (though I've heard the theme tune and it's definitely the same) but I remember the Euro-version in the 1980s where some of the Europeans spoke far more intelligible English than Henry Kelly - you could see the looks of complete incomprehension on their faces at times.
