Just watched it after getting home - loosing my big stack at Luton through many very bad calls!
Actually quite pleased with how it came over - at the time he was really freaking out and they've cut the footage really well - he had a serious panic attack on the table but it doesn't look so bad on the telly. A real shame I had to cut the treatment short as we were actually just getting to the good bits.
I did some practice runs a few weeks ago at the studio and it went brilliantly - we used stand in celebrities including a stand in dwarf to represent Warwick- one of the most surreal days I have ever had. I've been there on and off for three weeks and it's been really fun although very intense at times. Everything is constantly changing and you just have to roll with it and carry on.
On the programme shown today I met two guys from goldylookingchain - I had to ask who they were but apparently they are a welsh rap band who take the mickey out of rap artists and swear a lot. I was really out of my depth and really trying to interact with these guys who were 'so hip'. They popped out for a wagimama or something before they went into the salon - apparently that's noodles to you and me - but I live in a village - and initially I thought they were going out to smoke some wacky baccy.
In a vain effort to make conversation in the salon I ask one of the guys all about the band. Trying to run with the idea they are a comedy rap band I asked the searching question "Do you model yourselves on the Barron Knights.?" It was a real
moment.
All in all very good fun and a better result that I was expecting - so I'm glad I watched it now! A big up to Tikay who has mentored me on how to blow smoke up tv executives arses. Brandon Bloch is on Sky in a few weeks, I wanted to go on as the other guest wearing a t shirt which said 'I unblocked the Bloch' but Tikay has said no.
I have a choice of going to the end of show party or flying to waterford......so I'll see you all at Luton on Thursday morning bright and early!
