I'm watching Grand Designs Revisited.

Has anyone ever been on a reality type program?

I remember once reading an article "Changing Rooms ruined my life". Apparently Laurence LLewelyn Bowen turned their house into a bordello

Anyone got any stories of during the filming or after etc etc?!

Edit.
Oh and what's it like years later?
Do people recognize you from it?

Fawlty hotel or something??? But think that was more recent.....

phasers · 22-01-2011 06:39PM

Yeah, my sister was on a programme on Channel 4, I was about 9 or 10 at the time and they interviewed me briefly

All I remember is that my sister pretended her boyfriends big house in Rathfarnham was hers instead of our house in Clondalkin

My wife was on consuming passions a few years ago on RTE.
She was recognised for about 2 weeks nothing after that.
Fame is so fickle:(

No, it was when I was in TY, part of a series called 'No Experience Required.'

Why, I ask myself.

"School around the corner"! My favourite tv show as a child, even if i didn't get why all the adults were laughing at one of my peers. That is something to boast about, sure all the nans up and down the country would have loved you too!

amdublin · 22-01-2011 07:32PM

Around 1982 my name came up on the "birthday roll" on that Saturday morning show - Anything Goes or something??

The "birthday roll" lol

basically just like the credits at the end of a program.

Were you or your family ever on a real life type tv program?
