Poker 425 - The End......?

[tikay]

Wel, we have just finished recording this week's Poker 425. Officially that is the last one ever.

And we ended as we started - with me getting it round my neck. I thanked the "Producer, Marcus", (in fact, he's the Director) & forgot to thank the real Producer, Steve "Wormster" Meehan. Pah! Sorry, Steve.

And I had a bit of a rant, too. Well, if you can't rant on the last show, when can you rant? Usual thing, what about Added Money or Added Value in Tourneys? - "sponsors" are getting away with murder. And let's remember the regular guys - it's all very well being a "name" player, there are big comps every week, but how about some decent-structured, deep-stack tourneys for the foot-soldiers? Ah well, I'll just have to keep banging this drum.

Anyway, thats that. A big thanks to William Hill & Poker 425. Who'd have thought it, it's been on 7 nights a week for 18 months?

What next? For me, I have more projects on the go than I could ever have dreamed, & my unexpected diversion into TV is far from over. Lots of stuff happening there, details soon. My only regret is that there are only 7 days in the week, & I don't get the time to play as much poker as I'd like to these days. Still, I can't have it both ways, & some of the stuff I'm on with is well exciting.

For the 425 Crew as a whole, well, we ain't going away, "things" are happening, & it's a "watch this space" jobbie.

It's been emotional, thats for sure.

Ahh its been a wicked show. I think the presenters and you have made for great TV over the period of time in which its been running.

Alas, no more shots of Tikay pre-peroxide in the opening credits.  It still always freaks me out when I see that!

Goodbye Poker 854!

RIP  You will all be sorely missed

Poker 425 was a great show.

It was good of William Hill to Stick with Tikay, and in my opinion
they got it spot on.

Made for players of all levels and made entertaining by
Tony. It would nice to see the first episode to again
comparing a complete TV novice turning into quite a professional
confident yet humorous presenter.

Good Luck

Regards

Thats a real shame Tikay, I always enjoyed Poker 425 854 90210, hope to see you back with a similar format soon.

FINALLY got back Sky a few weeks ago....after bitterly complaining to Telewest they didnt have Poker425...and you go and do this

Great Show,....lets hope something similar comes along soon!

I enjoyed Tikay livening up the show, however i think the format/content was quite poor. Does enough go on every week to supply the need for a weekly show?

I would rather see it as bi-monthly or monthly then the show would be interesting AND funny.

I think i know what you have ahead, gl with it i feel it will be much better with a bigger budget!

good luck with your future venture Tikay.  How about 'blonde TV'?  I'm sure it would get a lot more passing viewers

[Indestructable]

Sad to see the shows demise. Let's face it what TV channel will want to cover a Blonde bash in the future?
I still think there is a place for shows like 425, but on a channel that is likely to get more viewers such as on 843.
Good luck to everyone else on the show including Compo, Stillhair, Wormster and Mrs C.
The show will be missed.

That IS a good point - it's hard to imagine blonde Bash's ever being on TV again. Still, one never knows.

A real shame it's finished, I looked forward to the new episodes each week.  Good luck to all the team, I hope things work out and we see you back on the screen soon.
