Back in the day, I was on the R.T.E's Happy birthday malarky. I was never notified and sued the uncle who put me on it. I doubt that really counts.

I was in an advert for "Milko" in Greece, I was swaying my long locks like a goon and tapping my shoes like an epilectified bonkerman. I was also in some Scottish program about Scotland St. school. We dressed up in Victorian clothes and wrote with chalk on a slate. Interesting huh, wow.

[CALIBUR] · 30-03-2003 10:01pm

way way back long time ago I was on the dentv program show. There where going around ireland to shops and They setup this big yellow chair that was pointed to this camera. U have to sit on the chair to tell one joke Other week later it was on dentv. But I did not see it (fs) other people did. it be cool now if I can find it.

CuLT · 30-03-2003 10:08pm

Hehe, I was on the megaleet Pets Corner or something of that sort name on Echo Island donkeys years ago.

Also, on juniour cert night I could be seen galavanting around behind the tv3 cameras at the rds.

)

I once got interviewed for TV3 when a Chinese delegation was visiting Dublin, they were interviewing people outside Dublin castle asking their opinion on it.

So the interviewer asked me something along the lines of “how do you feel about the Chinese delegation being here seeing as they’ve such a bad history of with human rights etc etc.”

I looked straight into the camera and said “yes”.

I thought it was funny but the interviewer was not impressed and I got a quick “listen don’t waste our time” and that was the end of my airtime.

I was really worried they were going to show it that night as a piss take at my expense but luckily it was never aired (to my knowledge).

So yes to answer your question I was on TV once as a kid on some RTE show.

O yeah! I was on 2TV for about 3 seconds. There was this thing on about what celebrities looked like. I was walking down grafton street and bribed me with a free pen to say "Emma Bunton looks like a cat". I thought nothing of it but, my god... I didnt think any1 ever watched that program!! The slagging i got...

karma kabbage · 30-03-2003 11:20pm

back in the good auld days when i was a wee young one (about 11 ah reckon) i was on the 'make me smile' thingy they used to show on the den. i gotta paint stuff.

it was lotsa fun and stuff but needless to say just as ray was announcing my name on tv... the damn power went out!!!

bloody figures!

Bard · 31-03-2003 7:58am

I was on Scratch Saturday, RTE's Saturday morning kids show in the late 80's (remember that?). Myself and a couple of friends did a 'Video 8' for them and it was shown, along with an interview of us, on the show.

I was also interviewed by RTE News regarding the terrible state of the railway service in Dublin at the time - standing in Connolly Station with a camera pointed at me saying 'yeah yeah, I'm going to be 2 hours late AGAIN getting home this evening, it's a bloody disgrace', etc. etc.

Oh, and there's a bit in an old RTE ad for their rugby coverage that shows a fan in the crowd waving a flag over his head madly... I think that was me.

My aunt was the TV star in our family, appearing in Bosco, Glenroe and a few other things. My youngest brother was an extra in 'The Butcher Boy' (he was one of the kids in the dormitory). My Dad was on TV a few times when he was involved in politics. 'Nuff said!

cournioni · 31-03-2003 9:25am

I was on BBC News 24 after Manchester United won the League in '99. There was three others doing the interview. I didn't get to see any of it though.

pickarooney · 31-03-2003 9:36am

I've been on about ten times on various quiz shows. Yeah, you know the ones

the Guru · 31-03-2003 10:11am

I was once on a documentry they did for angels lap dancing club aired about 2 years ago what a great day free beer and free lap dances .

It was very funny watching myself and a mate getting a private dance on tele

hells angels · 31-03-2003 10:29am

ozzy rule's football last year...face in the crowd..i got my 5 SEC of fame

31-03-2003 10:45am

I was on the RTÉ nine o clock news, or rather my Wellies were squelching through a mucky field on one of the wettest summers ever.
I was also done a few moons ago by a candid camera crew walking by the sports centre in UCD.
They told me that they were testing the effects of the passing cars on the remote control of a toy airplane, and asked me to operate the remote.
The blood thing of course went wild, and chased me across the field, as the bástard with the real remote control was hiding behind the hedge:D
mm

BKtje · 31-03-2003 10:56am

Was on some documentary a giid few years back after my sister died of cot death. It was more my mom+dad that got interviewed while i sat beside them. Was 5 or something. They asked me some simple questions

cant for life of me remember the name of the show tho.

Mr. Fancypants · 31-03-2003 11:06am

Was in the audience of one of the awful Sean Moncrief chat shows a while back. The closing credits had the band playing the YMCA and the whole audience had to do the dance. Unfortunatly the cameraman must of had some sort of attraction to me, as for almost the whole credits it was just me on screen doing the dance.

Still have to live that one down.

ciano · 31-03-2003 11:07am

I was in the audience on University Challenge a few years ago. Not much of a claim to fame huh? lol

Shred · 31-03-2003 11:12am

artvandelay · 31-03-2003 1:45pm

pickarooney · 31-03-2003 2:20pm

You weren't paying much attention, were you? Scrap Saturday was Dermot Morgan's political satire radio show.

T.G Catter · 31-03-2003 2:37pm

Tazzle · 31-03-2003 3:46pm

I was on the Yes/No Game Show on the Den with Ray Darcy. It was like 8 years ago and I have horrid memories of it. So embarrassing. We were forced to do irish dancing, traumatised, I was. I should sue.

Did that too...

Also was on the 9 O clock news with Dick Spring when he was giving out Peace Ribbons (read: White Aids Ribbons) on the top of grafton St A couple of years ago. The Interviewer wanted our comments on what we thought of his incentive.

We were a bit stoned at the time, and weren't fully aware what was going on, so we were damn opinionated about the complete rip off of the aids ribbon.

I still have it in my wallet to this day, that was about 6 years ago.

Caesar_Bojangle · 31-03-2003 6:42pm

I was on the Joke box about 10 years ago, it was such a quality outlet for humour.

AngelAine · 01-04-2003 1:00pm

I was on T.O.T.T, Talent on the Telly on Den TV with Dustin and co. It was great craic, I sang "I've had the time of my life" from Dirty Dancing with my sister....

I was also on "Its a Family Affair", a dodgy Irish quiz show presented by Dara O' Briain. Got such abuse being on it, wasn't worth the fame at all...:D . Didn't even win the star prize of a Ford Fiesta!

Other than that I was on telly for some play about the famine I was in.

I was on CyberStream on the DEN (about 3 years ago) and on QuizStream (also 3 years ago and on DEN)

Space Coyote · 04-04-2003 11:10pm

dont think ive ever been on telly proper like, in crowds at the races and footy and shtuff. Me oul lad and uncles were on 'Where In The World' when Marty Whelan did it. Marty was talkin to the oul boy for 5 minutes about some sheet or other. Anyhoo, the oul lad wanted to hear what he said when we watched the episode on tv but the rest of us were just breakin our sheets laughing for the whole thing. Class

They won £180 :eek:

Sev · 05-04-2003 3:26pm

I was a "stunt" extra in that "Sunday Bloody Sunday" movie with PHB and Provost, which meant I was essentially an extra, but I got paid more because I threw rocks at soldiers and they fired blank rounds at us all day, gassed us, and hosed us with them riot disperal water guns, and when they stormed the barracades I had to run like the beejaysus cos they came after us with rifles, battons and stuff.

Fun fun fun.. anyhow if you watch the movie, you should see me in it at some stage when James Nesbit, the dude from Cold Feet, im told, approaches one of the barracades and I shout, "UP THE RA".

Amnesiac_ie · 05-04-2003 3:48pm

I used to work as a local reporter on Echo Island
*CRINGE*
Longest servign one though. Still have photocopy of my first "wage"... a hologrammed cheque form Montrose!

Sarky · 05-04-2003 3:55pm

I was on TG4 news a while back, when the minister for the marine visited the MRI in NUI,Galway. I was pretending to be a proper scientist fiddling about with seaweed. I was the guy with a really long fringe tucked behind one ear...
