SimonB Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 For those that know me (or don't!) and fancy a laugh, I'm on the telly on Thursday! I'm on Eggheads on BBC2 at 6.30pm with a team of us from work. Do we have the brains to defeat the Eggheads? You'll have to watch and find out... I'm the one on the right with the ridiculously bright yellow shirt. It's not my fault, the wardrobe guy picked it out, honest.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pot Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I'm the one on the right with the ridiculously bright yellow shirt. It's not my fault, the wardrobe guy picked it out, honest.. Does that really happen? I'd assumed for years that people just dressed like that!... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonB Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 which one is this you? [ATTACH]87990[/ATTACH] Lol! Blimey, that lot are an ugly bunch. Pic of out team attached. They tell you to bring three different colour shirts with you, and you're not allowed anything with spots, stripes, logos, pictures of bands etc, white or black. Does kind of limit things! Then they pick different colours for each person in the team. It was a good laugh actually, the Eggheads are all fine. CJ in real life is actually a decent bloke. He does kind of love himself though! Not allowed to say whether we won until it goes out, so you'll just have to wait and see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I'm guessing 'the egg heads do what comes naturally to them'... like get in the final round and answer a bunch of piss easy questions. I've always suspect someone is hold up a card just under the camera with the correct answer on it, when the eggs heads go up on the screen - can you confirm or deny this please? When you went head-to-head with them could you actually see them answering their question? or are they locked away somewhere? I would hate to get the old biddy, she knows everything!

ivan Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Sky+'d here too. Do we get to laugh at you getting the answers to stupidly easy questions wrong Si? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 You bunch of pisstaking buggers! I'll have you know my hairline is "distinguished"... The "question room" is actually a bench next to the main set. I've got a pic somewhere. You sit next to the Egghead with a camera in front of you with an autocue type thing - you can see Jeremy asking the question and the possible answers on it. Kevin's the one who seems to know everything! Actually Daphne (the old one) wasn't on our show, it was Barry, Chris, CJ, Kevin and Judith. No cheating, but they do edit it to make the Eggheads look better. They cut out the time they're sat there umming and arrring and trying to figure out the answers! They have two signs in the studio ready to hold up, one says "look to Jeremy" because people look straight ahead when he's talking otherwise which looks weird. The other says "Speak up" because teams mumble and wisper to each other when talking about the answers otherwise which sounds crap on tv! They do get you to talk around the answers, which is why everyone says things like "well, it's not A because...". Unfortunately you can pretty much guarantee you're going to say something stupid while doing that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 Sky+'d here too. Do we get to laugh at you getting the answers to stupidly easy questions wrong Si? Who me? I did make a comedy mistake talking about a question at one point and get John Paul Getty confused with John Gotti. Hopefully the family of one of the richest men in the world won't be watching me say "wasn't he a gangster?" ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonB Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 Thanks for the free bump anyway! Actually I was standing behind the set on my way to makeup when today's show was being shot so I could hear a couple of questions being asked. Here's a link to the iplayer page that will be active tomorrow (must be a glutton for punishment posting it up but hey!). http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00hv3d/Eggheads_Series_9_Episode_158/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Jeremy Vine is my hero OK, that's taking it a bit far, but I like his radio style. I look forward to watching the show tonight, have set a reminder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Is it on tonight then...? I'm confused. I think I might miss it though, I don't get home till after it's started. I think yellow suits you Si. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
