Have you had your 15 minutes of fame?

Cherrytree - I think you're right.
Ana ? Probably!

Only last year both myself and Wendy had the great honour of appearing on ITV's Good Morning Britain to tell the nation about our chosen lifestyle. It did take quite a long time before live transmission but was worth every glorious moment and I hope came across to encourage many others to think seriously . . . Why Not!!
Still available exactly as transmitted: www.itv.com/thismorning/hot-topics/british-naturism-nudefest

Shouldn't there be some sort of entrance exam?

Elrel think you may need to do a WANTED. 'ONLY CONNECTERS' thread as closing date is soon

So, any firm offers for Only Connect?!

Only Connecters wanted! www.bbc.co.uk/showsandtours/takepart/only_connect
Closing date is 4th Feb.

Never had 15 seconds of fame never mind 15 minutes!

Elrel - shall we go for it? No doubt the powers that be will politely let us know if we're not up to it! Will you do the organising? At least we only need a team of 3 rather than 5!

DD aged about 7 blew up a bridge on the M5 as part of the motorway widening. I found that very exciting!!

Yes I think you should try for Only connect.
Perhaps other GNers could be in the audiance cheering you on!

GrannyAsNanny - worth a try, why not?! I usually watch Only Connect with awe, though very occasionally I get a connection or a Wall line that the teams don't.
Maggiemaybe - indeed - something to aim for!!

OK - do we have takers for Only Connect with Victoria Coren?!

I was on You and Yours many years ago on the subject of glasses for children; and I have been on local radio several times in relation to singing. The last time the idiot interviewer, who was supposed to be talking about how choirs and singing help people to make friends, simply wanted to know if any couples had become lovers from my singing group. He kind of missed the point o0f the value of singing socially.

OH was once filmed examining an ankle on a programme about rheumatology - he was supposed to be aspirating fluid from it, but it made the cameraman feel faint, so they scrapped the needle! In the end his bit was so short that if you had blinked you would have missed it!

Was spotted on TV by my sister when I was at a party conference, making a speech that still makes me all over when I think about it. I hoped no-one else had recognised me.

Elrel - Only Connect are still looking for teams, or do you think that might be a bit beyond us?!

More recently I was in Private Eye but only as a cartoon character.

How intriguing!

I'd like to be on the Eggheads team but I'm no good at general knowledge and my brain is a bit slow at pulling things out of the filing system these days so perhaps not!

Good idea though.

I was on itv news some years ago, being shown walking through some bluebell woods with a friend who was doing research on bluebell theft.

More recently I was in Private Eye but only as a cartoon character.

Ah well, Elrel, chin up. At least we have plenty of time to swot and to perfect our on-screen personae if we're aiming for 2018!

I tend to avoid the limelight which is probably just as well as the only time I appeared on a TV news item was on Preston Station for a Charity fund raising event with a group of pupils. Who was the celebrity? Stuart Hall, I am now sorry to say. My DS's appeared on a similar item at another local event, with the weather man Fred Talbot. My stomach now turns when I think of them - little did we know!

Nooo!! Applications for 2017 Eggheads closed on 16th December.
Still good to know we've enough interest to get a team together.

Cherrytree - as you say, we need 6 to include a reserve.

That's sounds brill future eggheads.
I think you will have to recruit a reserve Candidate also.

Let's make it happen Elrel - our new year's resolution!

GrannyAN - this really has begun to take off, so far four of us are definitely interested in putting together a team.

Numberplease - I'd be happy to join you on Eggheads, if you don't mind my several areas of ignorance...
