Poker 425 This Week

[tikay]

Jonny Gould is in the Anchorman's chair, as he has been almost every week since Christmas. Dave Compton has been in Dubai for the big Horse Racing Fessie, but he returns soon, & Jonny & Dave will then alternate again.

The Main Event this week is coverage of the Wm Hill sponsored Estonia event, including interviews with Bad Girl & Matt Tyler.

The "In-Depth" interview this week is The Golden Boy, Thewy. Nice stuff.

In the early-show chat, we discuss last week's controversial Main Event at The Vic, but only as a prelude to next week's show, when the filmed footage is due to be aired, & we will discuss the matter further then. We have invited The Vic to be interviewed about it, we will send a Camera Crew across there if they agree, or they can come along to the studio to have an on-air debate about it. It's up to them - I hope they accept the invitation.

Wa apologise to Iron for calling him the world's worst Poker Player, & correct the facts.

Poor Jonny opens the show by making an awful howler, which he then repeats 5 or 6 times during the show. Think he used a dodgy researcher.

Every night at 11pm, Channel 854.

Should be interesting to see how Tikay manages to dig himself out of the "ironside being the worst player ever" whilst keeping the shovel out of the cameras view

On, for once, a serious note, I chatted with Tim Flanders last week, & he was pretty upset that a Presenter on 425 had likened him (physically I assume) to an unsavoury & frankly rather disgusting individual, who had been in prison for a long time for some heinous offences. I never actually saw the edition in which this happened.

This was a joke in poor taste, which mis-fired, & Tim took a very dim view of it, & I don't blame him.

It's part of the show to poke a little fun at everyone, especially ourselves, but this was a step too far.

I felt we (Poker 425) should apologise to Tim, but there were no Big Suits around to "clear" this with yesterday, & with Rhow as "acting Producer" it was a tricky call to seek her permission. Apologising can be seen by some in legal quarters as an admission of guilt, so it was difficult for me to know what to do.

Tim & Pippa are a nice couple, quite inoffensive, & I apologised to them (from me as an individual) last week at The Vic. I'm happy to do so again here.  Tim is 100% fine with me - it was not on a show at which I was present, but I do want him to know, publicly, that I know that it was "regrettable".

Sorry Tim.

thats odd, because whenever you tell the story about how you confused your 7-2 o/s with QQ it always appears to work fine then

 

to save you the trouble of finding it yourself

[tikay]

The 2 only just fell off.

[matt674]

from being used too often?

will have to start reverting to the full wilson then and only use the "4" and "7" keys!!

Thought I managed that rather well actually......

I asked the same question Trace, & they told me it was intended as part of a tralier for the show, rather than the show itself.

"But it's a wonderful bit of TV" I suggested, & I hope they wil put it on the show, as it really was quite good I thought.

My role with 425 includes suggesting Venues to visit, & finding "interesting" folks to interview, but I get no say in what footage actually airs. Just as well, I guess......

[matt674]

we shall see later tonight

Do they have poker425 available on your hospital tv ironside or will you have to wait for the internet download?

p.s. glad to hear all went well, wishing you a speedy recovery mate

I never said any such thing Couch. Never believe what you are told. You gonna believe me, or them? Correct, it's a no-brainer.

Anyway, it's your own fault for moaning that you have never had a name-check on the show......

[Colchester Kev]

Hmmmmmmmm my source has recorded the show and a copy will be with me shortly, be afraid pops ... be very afraid !!!
