Appearing on TV and radio

[Maggi Young]

I wonder why t00lie can get the programme and Lesley cannot?

[Maggi Young]

Heard Ian on player - the BBC could do no better than engage Ian as John Cushnie's successor.

Frazer, what a super compliment... Ian is greatly touched, thank you.

[Lesley Cox]

I'll ask Dave how he does it. Any time I go to a BBC link I get a box saying the programme is not available outside the UK. Ann and Bill have given me links too, with the same results.

Forumist appearing on British Televison this week !

Anthony Darby... now relocated to New Zealand, will be appearing on BBC TV on Friday, at 1800 hrs  in a programme recorded some months ago. The programme is the quiz show "Eggheads" where teams of five compete with a team of five "Eggheads"... who are all winners of various quiz programmes over many years..... multiple winners of Mastermind, Brain of Britain, etc.
 Anthony took part with some of his colleagues from his choir in Dunblane and their efforts can be seen this coming Friday.

 The programme is shown on BBC2 in Scotland at 6pm.... times for other parts of the UK may vary and some of you lucky people will be able to catch it on the BBC i-player
The game is played by four of the challengers who compete head to head with someone from the Eggheads  on various subjects, Art and Films, History and so on and for the final round the winners of their individual rounds and the remaining player from each team compete together in a general knowledge round. So, the final round may result in one person against five!
The Eggheads  didn't come by their name lightly... they're a canny bunch and quite formidable opponents.
 Do look out for it if you can... it's good fun....  

 Here's a picture of Anthony and his Team with the Eggheads..... to the extreme left are the Presenter, Jeremy Vine in the back and, I think, the producer in front but Anthony will probably find this and tell us for sure.
Anthony is second right in the front row.

Wish we could see it here. BBC don't like to share with those outside Britain.

[John Kitt]

We get the Eggheads on cable in Australia.  I suspect it will be some time before we see this particular episode.

Look out for this BBC TV programme tonight.... £16000 at stake for Anthony and his pals challenge to the Eggheads!!

Maggi,

I watched the programme and a great result for Anthony and his team.

One amusing conclusion - it appears that not all forum members speak with a Waterford accent. As I read all forum postings, naturally I read with my Waterford accent whether the writer is from Scotland, South Africa, New Zealand, England, or North America. So, you all sound different then!

It was an exciting result, wasn't it?

 Funny what you say about "hearing " the Forumists  "speak" in their posts....... it's true that we most probably all do that very same thing..... must be why we all get on so well!

[Paddy Tobin]

Nah, Maggi, it's just me being silly.

[Brian Ellis]

Didn't they do well, good to see they knocked a couple of eggheads off their perches

[Anthony Darby]

Just a quicky from Bay of Plenty: teams are five plus a reserve (Matthew, our conductor on the left just watched and grinned). The choir was the Rosenethe Singers. Alas, Maggi's link is "not available in my area".

[mark smyth]

Great money to bring to NZ.
