TV shows you've been on/been to see

Sco

Anyone out there been on or been to see a TV show being made?

I once was in the audience for Have I Got News For You, which was good fun.

I also saw a "sit" (I have removed the "com" part to avoid being misleading) called "Eyes Down". Having to fake laugh when they redo a scene when it wasn't funny the first time round became tedious. Bizarrely saw John Harley (ex Chelsea left back) in the audience.

StanmoreAddick

Watched a few recordings- Room 101 and the like. Alan Sugar was one of them- god he was a dour guest.

Been on Blue Peter as part of an eight piece trombone ensemble- it was about 1983 and Sarah Greene was gorgeous.

Done Pebble Mill a few times as well- music again. Fabulous BBC hospitality which normally resulted with a hangover on the train back from Birmingham

Hillsys Up

LOL - pebbermill!!

I was on TFI Friday, that was good. In the bar getting smashed with that Ginger bloke.

Been in the audience for: Have I got news for you, Alan Carr's Celebrity Ding Dong (out in Jan) Question of Sport & Saturday Night at The Palladium (with Brucie)

I saw some terrible programme with Bobby Davro about travelling around the country. I don't remember laughing much.

Also been on Later with Jools Holland. Was great. saw lots of good artists, although pete doherty let a door go in my face as we left the studio.

Was also on going live when the underwood brothers and rebeckah elmalogolu was on it. I had to dance with Trev and Simon to the "Pot fish" sketch.

Nearly got to see Parky as we had tickets, but queued up by waterloo (and saw Steve Jones hanging around outside trying to get thing signed) but it was full up so we went to the pub instead.

Weegie Addick

Been to Jonathan Ross - a few years ago when it was still quite fresh. Main guest was James Nesbitt, who I'd always liked until then, but he turned out to be a boring plastic Man U fan - very dull. Alistair Mcgowan was also on and he was much better.

Jimmy or Alan Carr? One's funny, one isn't - and not in that order...

DaveMehmet

Jimmy Carr did the C4 staff quiz a couple of years ago and was hilarious but not as funny as the one that Simon Amstell did.

O Bin Laden on "I'm a celebrity hostage, get me out of here?"

Ledge

me and a few lads , inc ABS from Manchester who was a very late substitute, went on the ITV Digital game show which was then ditched. Can't remember what it was called and had some scouse git presenting it an Evertonian who was on Brookside Simon something.

It was a good laugh if anything but for the piss up on the saturday evening in Manchester.

Weeks later ITV Digital went down the pan and don't think it was ever aired. One of the lads got told off for doing a wanker sign behind an opposing fans back as we were coming out of the "tunnel" as it was caught on the film and we had to re do it.

Jonathon Ross - with the little hobbit from Lost and Pete Docherty - who was smashed and just out of court on drugs charges.

It was the Zutons doing the original 'valerie'. Then Pete Docherty did his song and blew everyone away. I was shocked with how good a stage presence he had... Very compelling during his interview as well.
Everytime i've seen him since he looks terrible and can't appear to sing at all. He's very much a live act IMO.

PeakieRocket

Saw an episode of One Foot in the Grave being filmed, and also went to see Wogan when they did a special for Spike Milligan's 70th Birthday. You can also see me in The League of Gentlemen live at Drury Lane DVD, when Herr Lipp comes into the audience and takes the piss out of my friend who I was sitting next to.

Weegie Addick

And how could I forget this one?
Back in 1993, Italy and Scotland were in the same World Cup qualifying group again. Italy needed to win (or was it draw) the final match v Scotland to qualify, but Scotland were already out. We went to watch the match at our favourite local Italian restaurant in Glasgow. BBC Scotland were there, filming a documentary on Italian Scots.

Italy won the game and we went off on holiday, only to return to find that the trailer for the programme had been all over the TV - with me and Mr Weegie sitting proudly at the front of the restaurant, in Italian shirts, cheering for Italy...didn't go down too well among our Scottish work colleagues, it has to be said...

Medders

Went to a recording of Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps at the BBC a few years ago. A bit of an eye opener as to how many times they have to reshoot scenes due to forgotten or messed up lines. Was pretty funny though, Ralf Little and Will Mellor are proper jokers.

Like Sco says though, it's hard work laughing at a gag on it's 10th re-run

ThreadKiller

sat in audience of jonathon ross the last resort a couple of times. he had sandra bernhard and introduced her as sarah bernhardt.she got annoyed and the audience all ooooohd her and she walked over and stuck her middle finger to us.then she was just heckled by pretty much everyone.

also have i got news for you.paul merton is very very sharp indeed.

Saturday Swap Shop (or whatever it was called) with Noel Edmonds, The Belle Stars were the guest band and yes it was a long time ago. Even longer ago - was in the audience for Crackerjack and we all got the famous pencil and pen....

I went out for a drink with Ralf as my mate knows him through AFC wimbledon (Howard centre back) where he trained or something... and I can vouch that he is a proper joker,... funny funny fella.

Which one is the Missus, then?

I remember Howard Jones. Being, a bit of a rocker, I used to hate this type of music
