Scary, I'm going on the telly.

[Essex Barn Workshop]

So at great risk of making a complete idiot of myself and having been under a non-disclosure agreement since the summer I can now start telling people that last summer I was filmed for 3 days in total for BBC1's daytime show, Make it at Market.

I am slightly concerned at the angle that may be taken about a finish I was using (100% food safe varnish), a piece I had completed was subbed for one not quite done (I thought it was for background only, but the surface was mentioned) , and as I had a lot going on in family life at the time I barely sold anything in the time frame BUT it was an experience, time will tell and If i get a few weeks solid work out of it making stuff it will be worth it.

If you watch it, BBC1 Thursday 13 march, please be kind!

 

[Bingy man]

Your best bet is to post a reminded especially for folk like me but well done and your braver than me ( I hate cameras and photographs) let alone tv cameras

Here's a proposition: All editors are rascals. Will you get rascaled? Only you can tell.

I'll second that.
Well done I hope it pays off for you.

I should point out that I have also appeared on a local BBC show, the clip was so short that only two people noticed

 

[kinverkid]

Well done. I'll make a point to watch it.

I too have been on the telly locally and nationally many times. When Mom was alive I would phone her to tell her I'll be on the news tonight. She would get plenty of mileage out of it down the Ballroom Dance Club. She would tell them her lad is on the telly again. It didn't seem to matter that I would be in a hooded paper suit and a mask covering my face and I could be any one of the other masked and suited figures on the screen.

Were you environmental health or KKK?

The joys of being on tv, were you in a studio? We did several different films, as extras all outside in the cold and wet that and having to do the same thing over and over. (32 times)

 

[Dovetail]

Congratulations on being on the show. It is impressive that you kept the secret for this long.

Good luck with it. One of our turning club members - Wolfgang- was on best British wood worker last year. He really enjoyed the experience, but defi recognised it's for entertainment purposes.

I look forward to watching it. Dominic Chinea is always encouraging and doing his best for craft businesses.

When we started our Repair Cafe two years ago, I was in frame for about three seconds for a BBC special on Repair Cafe's and environmental projects in general. The only comments I heard was "who's the ugly guy over there".

I'd have kept quiet about that if I were him, or maybe he did and you just outed him?

 

[Cozzer]

You'll be fine.
Think where it could lead!
For example, has the new James Bond been cast yet?
A new boy band, perhaps? The Carpenters, mayhap... Ah, no. Forget that one...

No, you'll be a star.
Just make sure you avoid any trick questions about rhubarb. It's like pink celery, by the way...

A guy I know(chainsaw man) was joint winner of some art program(best artist type of thing)
He did a pet portrait of course its led to many more portrait requests. Which he doesn't want to do as he specialises in council/public art! He was also briefly in the clarice cliff film having woven some pottery transport baskets!

My Barclaycard was on Tomorrow's World back around 1970. I doubt the camera caught the cardholder name, but if it had, no doubt viewers would have assumed it was a dummy, given my rather popular name.

No, pretty much outdoors and filmed live, although repeated many times.

 

[Tris]

Good on you for having a go, been meaning to watch this for a while so will look out for it.

My diary is marked, we will be watching.
