The BBC remembers when I was a kid

Friday, February 9th, 2007

Today I ran across the BBC Programme Catalogue: a database of thousands of BBC TV and radio programmes, including details of contributors. Of course, I had to try a vanity search. And I’m on there! When I was a kid, I was on TV quite a lot because of a newspaper I’d made. They only have one of those listed, but it was the best one: I was on Blue Peter. Non-Brits of a certain age may not understand the importance of this. I have the badge and everything to prove it. I have no recollection of being in Casualty, but it is filmed in Bristol. Would be a bit bizarre if there was someone else with my name in the city.
