I'm gonna be on Television - 18th July (Free tickets available)

The attention seaking media whore that is Spike_Thmid has been selected to be on a new Channel4 gameshow called Win my Wage hosted by Nick Hancock - which will replace Deal or No Deal over the summer.



The format is still slightly unknown, but each round the contestant has to vote off the lowest wage earner for panel of 8 based on a limited amount of information given, until the final person, whose wage they win.

I did apply to be the contestant (had the audition) and was told we'll ring you if you are successful.

I had a phonecall last Thursday from the girl who interviewed me saying she was really sorry but I wasn't selected but they liked me sooo much (and who wouldn't ) that they spoke to their bosses and they agreed to have me as a wage earner (with a chance of winning £3k). Not only that but they need to have a 'run through show' to iron out any cracks and have asked me to be part of that - so I get to be on the show twice (though the first one won't be aired but I could still win £1k)

The 'run through show' is on 21st June and by then I should know when they need me for the real show !!!

Sorry I didn't mention anything earlier but I didn't want to jinx anything ...

Win my Wage

 

Ooh, Someone's after my crown as FF:UK TV Quiz champ

Best of luck to ya. It's always a fun day out filming a quiz show. The only advice I'd offer is to make yourself very approachable to the other contestants. Do your best to get on with them cos you can make good friends, and it makes it harder for them to get rid of you Be yourself, don't try and have a gameplan.

And have fun!!!

 

Deal or no Deal's going away for the summer!?



Congratulations.

I came across this by chance - how did/do you find this stuff out ??

 

I think they were all newspaper adverts for auditions. I had an audition for Countdown as well but didn't get on. Really should try that one again.

There are websites you can sign up to which will email you details of new shows and the like

 

Cool man - congrats and good luck!

Got some IT Consultants in there!

 

Hang on hal, you were on Richard and Judy as well.

But Hal, even with your long record (I saw ya on Eggheads hehe), Spike T can add "Star Wars Episodes 1-3" to his list of appearances

Well done dude, hope it goes well

 

to be honest Dave I kinda discounted media stuff where I wasn't named or was just part of the background, you could of added this [image=http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d98/spike_thmid/SundaySun15-3-07.jpg] if you had got the earlier train

My mission now is to beat the FF Gameshow God that is Hal you have been warned.......

 

Well Your Already a Film star Tv thats your next big step to fame !

 

Hey - that's a cool article guys,

 

Ok - quick update

So I went along for the 'run through show' the other week and it was awesome !!!!! We weren't allowed to talk to the other wage earners about our jobs - so no one could claim fix.

We had a practise game early on the afternoon where a member of the show stepped in as the 'contestant' and we played through a game - which I won (hurrah) but didn't win any money for it (boo)

Then it was onto the 'real' game - including a studio audience (scary) mainly OAPS - they must of been looking for Countdown :tired unfortunatley I didn't win that game (and the £1000) but the day was great fun and Nick Hancock (the host) was really friendly - I don't want to go too much into the show as I want it to be a surprise

So that was the other week - this evening I got a phonecall and they want me back to be on the REAL TO BE AIRED SHOW woohoo filming on 18th July (don't know when it'll be aired yet but be sure I'll tell EVERYONE)

 

Great Fun Chris I bet there was a few remarks to the Obi wan look a like said ?

Wish had know We few could have sat in the the middle of the OAP's and screamed for you !!

 

Hmmm, methinks we have to find tickets for the 18th

 

I'm in contact with the ticket department and hopefully I'll be able to get hold of 4 tickets to the recording. We're just waiting to see if it's the morning or afternoon. If I get them, it'll be first come first served for the spare seats

 

*has already yoinked one*

 

Would you be so kind as to PM the person to contact for Tickets So we can all go and gloat at Chris and cheer him on !
