Have You Ever Appeared In A Tv Programme?

[Caran]

I did many years ago. We used to have dancing lessons when we lived in Leamington Spa. One week we looked out the window and saw tv cameras over the road at the town hall. Naturally we went out to investigate. They were filming Keeping Up Appearances which was always filmed in the area. We went over the road and watched. Suddenly a car appeared with Hyacinth and Richard in fancy dress. I think she was Boudica or whatever they call her now.
We were all arranged around the car.
When it appeared on TV I was given a very clear view for about 4 seconds.
It's amazing to see yourself so young. I kept the recording on hard drive all these years until OH accidentally deleted it at Christmas.
So now when I see one of the programmes advertised I check to see if it is that one so I can record it again

Svejk & Tony:
I met plenty of PE teachers who seemed to model themselves on Brian Glover's example ;-)

yes, in 1962 I played a dead body. I just had to lie there. I never saw it, we didn't have telly and neither did anyone I knew.

jno jnr appeared in a Sainsbury's commercial about 15 years ago - they filmed his rugby team and used a clip (I can't remember what it was supposed to be promoting exactly).

>>> How do you know that Chris, you amaze me!

I simply googled 'Hyacinth Bucket Boudica', which told me which episode it was ;-)

oh, and I've recorded the farewell Monty Python stage show as I was in the audience and they moved us several rows closer to the stage (and cameras) so as not to show empty seats. I haven't watched it to see if I'm actually on screen, though, and I imagine not.

I also had walk on parts at the London Marathon, Remembrance Day (right next to the Cenotaph), a teachers protest march and the Notting Hill Carnival (nicking a pickpocket.)

Oh and manning a roadblock when the bomb went off in Brighton.

You must have spent more time in 'make-up', shoota, than you spent 'nicking' villains.

They were when I was a youngster svejk and worked every rest day doing 'aid' to save up for a flat.
