My grandmother and mother taught me


Put a camera in front of me and I go all well-spoken it seems.

So yesterday I was on Eggheads as part of the I Knit London dream team.

I'm afraid I can't tell you if we won or not - you'll have to wait and see. The tension! There was a fairly hefty cashpot up for grabs....

Brilliant! I'm a tad jealous though. I hope you made CJ play geography. Whens it to be aired?

Tombola said...

I didn't. I took on Chris at Science. Airing: don't know yet. I think that we were show 74/80 so we won't be on for some time yet. I shall let you know when I hear!

One disappointing thing yesterday was the speed with which Murnaghan departed - I was after a photo but as soon as filming was done he was out of there. The Eggheads were all very nice though. I kept trying to wink at Judith Keppel.

Hello, I'm Judith Keppel and I was the first person in Britain to win a million pounds on who wants to be a millionaire. This week while filming the latest series of eggheads a young gentleman kept trying to wink at me.

Tombola said...

Ha ha. She is extreeeeemlely posh. At one point I thought she stuck her tongue out at me but I think I was mistaken.

There was a bit at the start where we just had to sit looking at the Eggheads for about a minute and a half. Not sure why we had to do that. I got the giggles after about 30seconds and was very, very close to creasing up with laughter.

I thought she was the first person to win at million-arr. So posh.

Prof: I'm proud of you! You look very smart. Well done for finding a "bright" coloured shirt that wasn't offensive.

Will look forward to the airing.

They absolutley hammered me with make-up too. I looked like I was in panto.

ace! top marks for Bola!

I've never been on tele. That's 2 for you isn't it?

Who else has been on tele?

Tombola said...

Yeah, 2 for me. 3 if you count being an extra in gritty northern BBC 1 80s drama 'Making Out'. They filmed a wedding in out church and needed some kids to pretend to be a choir. I think we got £30. I spilt my veg soup on the stairs of the catering bus and loud scouser Margi Clarke loudly shouted 'WHO'S BEEN SICK?'. I also met David Yip I think. I think that you could see my arm in the background of one of the shots.

Colin Hendrie was on Sky News waving a 'MUFC: Not for sale' flag when he should have been at work.

Em was in a painting, and has been on a hit US sitcom. Surely that counts for more?
