I used to work in a bar where the god-awful Bravo
"gamers" show Mercenaries was filmed.

Due to drop out contestants, I was in two separate episiodes.

The worst moment for me personally was when I had to fill in as the "hacker" for a team from Bath. The role required no skill whatsoever other than mouse clicking, and when they came to film me I felt the pressure to do some hollywood-style hacker-speak and said...

"I'm prowling their root system for a back door".

Christ.

yes.
Jason Bradbury.

I think the phrase "I didn't really take to him" doesn't do justice to the full god-I-wish-I-could-see-him-accidentally-eat-his-own-shit hatred I had for him at the time. I spent over an hour one time explaining why, although interesting to play, a wireframe, real-time air-traffic-control sim is not necessarily good television.
