That's me on TV!Hotdog asks: Ever been on TV? I once managed to "accidentally" knock Ant (but not Dec) over live on the box.
We last asked this in 2004, but we know you've sabotaged more telly since then

That's LifeLong, long ago there was a popular program called That's Life with Esther Rantzen. It was so popular she wanted to do a children's version and they advertised for presenters. I wrote in and got asked to an audition at the BBC in London. I had to hold up a sweet wrapper to a camera and say, with a slight giggle, "It's called Bums", for that was the name of the sweet.
Anyway Esther was completely charming. I had a French exchange student staying with me at the time (now there's a good topic for QOTW) and Esther got the Beeb to pay for us to be driven round various London tourist sights in a taxi. All in all a good day.
However I received a letter days later telling me I was too tall or too mature or some such guff, so I didn't get to be a That's Life presenter. Toothy bint.
