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 11:01PM

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 11:08PM

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.

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 · 31-03-2003 12:20AM

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 08:58AM

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 10:25AM

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 10:36AM

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

the Guru · 31-03-2003 11:11AM

31-03-2003 11:45AM

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 11:56AM

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 12:06PM

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 12:07PM

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 12:12PM

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.
