Coincidentally there have been a couple of tennis based tweets about the Eggheads this evening. Thanks Steven

Apparently, one of the contestants was asked "Which sport do brother and sister Liam & Naomi Broady play ?". The contestant answered words to the effect of, "Well, I'm really up on tennis, so it can't be that as I've never heard of them".

Wouldn't have made it on to your team Priesty.

If you YouTube "the Chase Chocolate Salty Balls" you'll catch a brief glimpse of me from the side in a blue striped t-shirt. That's as much as you'd want to see.

that's some claim to fame!
Hey! any association to Isaac Hayes, no matter how tenuous, is pretty good going.

Priesty, or Richard I presume? I just caught the last half hour of the +1 programme. Really good effort! I like Sean the best of the chasers, such a dry humour. Did you get to talk to him much as well as Bradley?

Yes, Richard, I used Priesty on here because usually when I sign up for forums like this there's already a Richard.

Shaun came down and shook hands afterwards, no time to chat as there was another show to film straight afterwards but he seemed very pleasant as was Bradley (no different to how you see him on screen). The other 2 chasers at the time, Mark and Anne, were also there and Mark came and shook hands too. It was a great experience.

Currently on a train to London to film another show - got to keep quiet about the specifics of it for now but will post more as soon as I'm able to. Only knew about it a couple of days ago - I was the team reserve until someone unfortunately tested positive for you know what. Feeling rather under prepared and short of match practice and wishing courtside coaching was allowed....

Sending you good vibes, Priesty ! Enjoy smile

Are you allowed Hawkeye challenges?

If it all goes pear-shaped, say the sun was in your eyes, the balls were the wrong sort, someone in the crowd put you off - we'll still love you smile

Thanks for all the comments folks, all in the can and waiting for the train home from Euston. I have no idea when it will be aired and not sure they do either, but as soon as I do know I'll post it.

Funnily enough, on the Thames Link heading to the studios we passed the David Lloyd Centre at Cricklewood.

We have an airdate, finally. Tuesday 1st November at 6.30pm on Channel 5. I'm on a darts-related team named Trebles For Show Doubles For Dough under my real name of Richard.

Don't let young kids watch, might give them nightmares wink
