bigmommasally Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I have apparently been on Anglia News in a shot of Essex County Hall building - I've never seen it though as we don't get Anglia here If it counts I was also in a local paper back in the 80's for winning a camera in a competition DD2 (she'll hate me for telling you all this) has been in several adverts on TV, a Lily Allen video (22), Andrew Lloyd Webber birthday thingy & Blue Peter when she was little - she cuffed her runny nose just as the camera panned over her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenNutter Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I am gobsmacked by the fame you Omleteers have racked up over the years! Spacechick - Respect! Putting yourself through Masterchef! Griffin - you have to tell us what Jim fixed for you! As for me - with performing children I have been on the sets of Life on Mars, The Illustrated Mum, Heartbeat, Born and Bred, See No Evil The Story of the Moors Murders, the Lightning Kid, Britains got the Pop Factor, two Radio 4 plays and other stuff, but always behind the scenes (suits me!) I was once handed a pile of books and asked to walk past a window to look like a teacher in the background of a scene being filmed in a school playground, but when it was screened, the scene was cut and I obviously ended up on the cutting room floor!

PapaJuliet Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I've been on telly!!! At the British GP this year when Jake whatshisname, DC and EJ doing their piece to camera on the Saturday qualifying programme a Porsche slowly wanders past in the background under 3mp (3 marshal power). One of them was me but I didn't even notice the presenters because I was checking over my shoulder because I had heard another Porsche was on its way into the pit lane and I was checking where it was. Also, At last year's Singapore GP when the safety car was sent out for Piquetgate, Rubens Barrichello ground to a halt just past our post so we had to go and push his car back behind the barriers. Apparently there was a very long sequence showing us recovering his car and apparently I was very recognisable and got a LOT of comments from friends. I've never found the television coverage on YouTube but there was a clip on there which seemed to be be taken from higher up above our post... probably from the top of the Fullerton Hotel. I'm not so recognisable but I can tell which one is me because I can see my ponytail flapping. Oh, and my ducks had their 1.5 seconds of fame at the Superleague race meeting at Donington this year when it was SO WET they cancelled part of qualifying and my rubber ducks were shown sitting on the track at the Craner Curves on the qualifying highlights programme 'cos all they had available on telly was just how wet it was. And my photograph is on the official F1 web-site... the photographer was fascinated by the "rubber gloves" we had to wear during the F1 sessions as "protection" if we had to touch the KERS cars ("fascinating" was not the way that most marshals who actually had to wear the gloves described them) I'd better stop before I remember any more.

Griffin Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Jim did indeed fix it for me I spent a happy few years in my teens whilst still at school following quite a few bands around the country. Summers were full of radio roadshows and hanging around behind the scenes. Take That had already been on Jims show but my mate Tracey was desperate to get on it so she wrote a letter asking if we could meet Worlds Apart ,even though we'd seen them several times already but that was besides the point, she figured that was a good band to use in her letter! A few months later a BBC researcher came and interviewed us both. A few months after that we'd just finished a mock GCSE exam when one of our teachers said that a film crew would be filming us briefly at the end for a documentary. We pretended to write in our papers when all of a sudden Worlds Apart burst in I DIED OF SHAME! They took us in a limo to our local roller skating rink, which wasn't what we were hoping for We then filmed our bit at the BBC a few weeks later and got our Jim'll Fix It badges. Mines buried in a box somewhere in the garage I think. We got a band called Let Loose to do a gig at our school and that got us into the local newspaper too That was a brilliant laugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I've only ever been in print, not in video or speech (thank goodness ). My photo was in The Scotsman once when some signs of the company where I worked kept getting nicked but then some students returned one with a note of apology. I was in an article about chickens in the Guardian after responding to a journalist's question on this very forum . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 What was on the signs to make them so covetable ANH?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I worked for a company called Waverley Cameron which in the dim and distant past made the Waverley fountain pen. They had a slogan "They come as a boon and a blessing to men, the Pickwick, the Owl and the Waverley Pen". There were lots of enamelled signs attached to the factory walls which sometimes went walkabout. This is one (but not the one that went awol!)
