Not quite, but almost....
I play poker quite a bit. On Sky there is a Pokerzone channel (226). Anyway, they were filming a new show called Heads up with Richard Herring which my wife and I got tickets for. This was on Oct 15, my birthday. The idea of the day was to go watch this being filmed then off to the Lanesborough Hotel for some lah dee dah tea.
Anyway, I went to the filming of the sixth episode I believe it was. The one with Fiona Bruce, Dave Colclough and Oliver Chris
A funny thing happened before hand though.. We had arrived a little early and asked a security guard where the show was being filmed. He pointed us towards a blocked off escalator. Up we went and was greeted by a nice young lady asking if we were here for the poker show. We said yes. We were then introduced to the Production Manager, very nice and civilised I thought. Again, we were asked if we were here for the poker show. Again we said yes.. Next thing we knew, we were walking past Nick in his room getting his makeup put on and were introduced to Fiona Foster and Oliver Chris in the Green Room! Good effort we thought, this is a very nice touch! We sit down, my missus helps herself to a drink and I start chewing the fat with Fiona!! Had a chat with Oliver and was about to help myself to a complimentary Budweiser when the production manager comes back in and says,
"Excuse me, are you in the audience?"
"Yes"
"I'm really sorry, but there's been a terrible mistake, I thought you were one of the guests!"
Now, as Fiona and Chris were already there and only Dave was missing I can only presume I was mistaken for him!! God knows how!
The production manager then proceeded to usher us out, pretty smartish. I didn't even get my bud..
If you see it you might be able to spot me, I'm the one with the rainbow striped shirt and the neckbrace!
