As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm not a fame hungry wannabe. The idea of being on TV, simply for the sake of being on TV doesn't appeal. However, when I was a child I was picked out (for my budding intellect and camera friendly looks I assume) to be on a show called 'Corners'. I'll forgive you if you haven't heard of this program. It was a BBC children's program in the 80s. Viewers would submit questions which the presenters, aided by the occasional rising child star (i.e. someone like me) would answer. I know, it sounds riveting doesn't it. Why don't they make telly like this any more?
I promise I'm not making this show up - look it's in Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corners_(TV_series)
What I can't prove, however, is that I was actually on it. I have searched YouTube and the BBC iPlayer to no avail. I was at Swimbridge School in North Devon at the time and Sophie Aldridge and the camera crew filmed me explaining to the breathless masses what a computer was. Remember, this is 1987 we're talking about here - people honestly didn't know what they were then. Neither did I actually, I had simply learnt a script that I recited when they said 'Go'.
So that's it. My 15 seconds of fame. I know it's not that impressive. Sorry about that.
