THE SIX O'CLOCK SHOW
In 1985 my then girlfriend Caroline sent a photo of me and without my knowledge to LWT'S The Six O'Clock show . I got a phone call out of the blue and was invited to Waterloo and the LWT studio's. I was met by Paul Ross( now a DJ and brother of Jonathan Ross) He loved me and I was asked to appear. Funny enough I in 1974 used to play Table tennis with Miles and Adam Ross. Whom were friends and later worked in the movies with. Small world really!
Bernard Bresslaw RIP was the judge on this live show hosted by Gloria Hunniford . I rehearsed in the afternoon and it went live at 6pm. Just before I went on the floor manager asked me to cut it down because of them running late on time. I was not too happy by the way. I really should have just gone for it! But being professional I did what I was told. I did not win, but did really. Bernard told me afterwards that I was the best!
That's another fine Mess!
