Disney Club
Was in about 2nd year at school and our class was picked (for some unknown reason) to appear on the first ever Disney Club show (was shown on Sunday mornings). All I can remember about the presenters was the bird was Stan Boardman's daughter (Andrea Boardman - now diappeared from life never mind telly).
Anyhoo, they wanted to film the last shots for the show and they needed someone to act like a barman (polishing glasses) behind a bar type prop thing. Can't remember if I volunteered or not, but it was me anyway.

Anyhoo, I was to do this while 80's liverpudlian songstress (I use the term loosely) Sonia was miming along to her newly released ditty.

Anyway, good old Scottish Television had installed false floors. This is important. So, there I am, all cheesey grins behind this fake bar. Now this bar had a set of shelves behind it (also behind me), which they had placed sets of stacked glasses. So, off Sonia goes with the bass of her song rattling everything and everyone within a 3 mile radius (as I said, false floors). Needless to say I'm polishing away happily while watching the ginger dwarf do her thang when all the glasses behind me start to fall off the shelves due to the vibration and smash on the floor behind me. I look desperately at the floor manager who has a look on his face that basically says I don't give a monkeys chuff if you look like a moron and carries on filming.

Needless to say it was all caught on the tape and I looked a complete twat! Worst of it was too was my whole class blamed me for it, asking "Why did you throw (!!) all those glasses on floor? That was pretty bad on Sonia like!"

EH!???

Mentally scarred for life and hate Sonia, but who doesn't/didn't! No apologies for length or girth because apparently it doesn't matter! ;)
