Was on the news interviewed by Sharon Ní Bheoláin. Nothing too exciting though, just a thing about our company. Also on TV3 morning show, for the same reason. Whatever that show is with the weatherman as the host.

Back in the late 90's, TG4 made a programme where Niall Tobin went back to his old school to reminisce about his years there. An Irish speaking school.

Michael Davitt, the poet, was directing the programme and for this segment Niall was standing at the top of the classroom regaling us, the 6th year's with anecdotes. I got to ask a question which was given to me, so I knew I would get to be on the programme, in all my handsome glory, and not in the background in a 'pause or you'll miss it' cameo appearance.

The question was "Did you ever take part in amatuer drama's suring your school years".

Being a one camera set up, they filmed me Niall's response first. Then Davitt turned the camera to me and told me to ask the question again so it could be edited in again.

So there's me, giving the same question the full Gielgud treatment, and smart arse Tobin pipes up in that faux outraged actor way "I do believe I've been asked this question already?!?".

Davitt explains the situation and Niall gives a nonchalant shrug.

So yeah, I was on the telly once

6AG around 1997 so were you? :pac:

Theres an interview from.. March 2008? Whenever GTA 4 came out for the PS3. I bunked the morning off school to go get it, came out of HMV, and was interviewed by GMTV for it. I went to school, think I told them I had a dentist appointment or something, then it turned out my form teacher saw me on the tv, and I got a week of detention

exiledelbows · 14-11-2014 03:28PM

TG4 sports programme in the 90s (sportiris?) on a bit about the Orienteering World Cup in Kerry.

yeppydeppy · 14-11-2014 03:58PM

I did a walk on bit on Gerry Ryans SECRETS - there were a good few of us. They were giving us free beer before hand and I bleedin' tripped as I was walking out but luckily I was still behind a masking flat, so had righted myself before I was in shot.

fleet_admiral · 14-11-2014 04:05PM

I spoke about the smoking ban on the front line many years ago

Eponymous · 14-11-2014 04:31PM

I was on Secrets too, making cocktails!

I was interviewed for German TV at a protest, no idea if it was used or not.

I've been in crowd shots at rugby matches many times.

MarkY91 · 14-11-2014 06:47PM

I got interviewed for Nationwide earlier this year. No idea what was expected from me so I just talked and talked and talked. They kept most of the cringiest moments in that I cannot bear watching it

Posted this before

Was on BBC1 Christmas Day morning in 1969 or maybe 1970. My school choir was singing christmas carols. Hosanna in Excelcis (iirc). We were edgy:)

My wife tried to get a copy from the Beeb for my mum and dad - no joy they couldn't find it and sadly too late now

As someone on here replied rather humerously - "Tell them that Rolf Harris and Gary Glitter were on the show and they'll find it pdq"

RayM · 14-11-2014 08:54PM

I (very) briefly appeared in Glenroe when I was twelve. I found a tape of the episode when moving house a few years ago, so I stuck it up on YouTube...

I'm the very short kid running past in the background at 6min 45secs. I received a cup of cold tea and a scone for my hard work.

Been on TV a few times due to work. Was on tv3 morning programme last year. A few days after I recieved a call from the guy I work for. TV3 had gotten on to them and there was some fella looking to get I touch with me and gave me his number. Thought this was very strange but after a few days curiosity got the better of me (and also wondered if it might lead to more work).

Anyway, I hid my number and called the person. When he realised who was ringing him he got quite nervous and started saying stuff like " i don't normally contact people out of the blue like this" . I got a little freaked.

Long story short, the guys mother had been watching the programme and reconed I was her sons double. It turned out that he was adopted from a home as a child and for the past few years had been trying to contact his family. He knew there were 7 in total, but they were all separated. He was ringing to find out was I his brother. Really felt for the guy. Hope he found who he was looking for.

Charlie Haughey visited the area during the General Election in 1982, RTE were here and I was in the backround.
