jamamafegan Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 BBC Scotland once, in the background shot for a weather forecast in Glasgow Queen Street. Also saw myself on the T in The Park highlights, getting mad wae it at deadmau5. Pretty shite. I'm due a proper television appearance tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom McB Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 How did you get on on Mastermind? What was your specialist subject? Lost in the Semi final. Life and works of George Orwell and Astronomy. Magnus, God rest his soul, was a pleasant fella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Lost in the Semi final. Life and works of George Orwell and Astronomy. Magnus, God rest his soul, was a pleasant fella. Good man. There's some subjects with a bit of depth. Pisses me off these days that folk get away with choosing individual books, movies, albums etc as their subject. Also, anyone who chooses something like only fools and.horses should be told that it is too cretinous for consideration. Whilst I'm ranting the whole concept of eggheads is flawed because the questions are so easy. If you go through that show with anything less than a 90% hit rate you have no business on a quiz show.

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Been interviewed by BBC and Garmpian (as was) on numberous occasions when I was involved in local politics. Also participated in a couple of political panel shows. Bob Servant must have been shitting himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie S Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Lost in the Semi final. Life and works of George Orwell and Astronomy. Magnus, God rest his soul, was a pleasant fella. Excellent performance. Astronomy is certainly a very broad subject for a MM SS. I remember Pat Gibson doing 'Lives and Works of the Great Mathematicians' in the final of MM Champion of Champions a few years ago, which I thought was incredibly ambitious, but he excelled as usual. Don't subscribe to Invergowrie Arab's view that TV shows or movies etc. aren't 'proper' MM subjects btw (and I've yet to see anyone do an individual album, book or movie so that's something of a red herring). It's all knowledge. You get the same number of points in a pub quiz for knowing that Bruno Mars sings on Mark Ronson's 'Uptown Funk' as you do for knowing that Wittgenstein penned the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, not sure why it should be any different on Mastermind. Sometimes when the subjects are narrower the questions are more esoteric, but picking specialist subjects that will maximise your chance of progression is all part of the game. The GK round separates the wheat from the chaff in any case. You can't win MM, or even an episode of MM, without being very good indeed. Pat Gibson incidentally is an example of someone equally adept at highbrow and lowbrow subjects. He did Pixar Movies in MM Champion of Champions and Father Ted, the books of Iain Banks & the Films of Quentin Tarantino en route to winning the title in 2005.

RandomGuy. Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Im in our the opening footage of our League Cup Final v Rangers from 1998, they pan along the crowd outside and you see my wee six year old head poppig through a gap. Sit in the front row at McDiarmid so usually have a guest appearance. I apparently appeared on Highland TV during a Challenge Cup Final at McDiarmid years ago, Ross County won im sure as i was there with a county supporting pal. We seemingly got highligted at half time dancing to "Ring of fire" although ive never seen the footage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie S Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 ^^^Pat Gibson IMO. No, not Pat Gibson, but I have met him on a few occasions. Lovely guy and exceptionally knowledgeable. As is fellow Egghead, Mastermind Champion and multiple World Quiz Champion, Kevin Ashman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Lost in the Semi final. #Respect A girl from my home town went on and told me later that she hoped she would never experience anything that terrifying again. She did OK in the auditions and rehearsals and whatnot but when it came to the show itself, she complete shat it and scored something like 3 points total. Apparently even watching the episode when it aired was incredibly stressful for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Was on Sportscene years back, seen behind the goal as Liam Buchanan is scoring his penalty in the 1-1 away game in Inverness. I was on the stairs waiting for the ball to hit the back of the net, he scores it of course... I celebrate like a fanny for a couple of seconds and then all of a sudden I disappear behind my mate who was a fair bit smaller than me at the time. BBC News came to our school to film footage of us doing our exams so they could use it for the next 10 years or something like that. It was my History exam I think and I just sat there chilling whilst everyone else was hard at work. They had a front and side camera. I was staring down the front camera the whole time so they decided to use the side camera footage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurbineTon Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Was on Sportscene for the last round of the cup. Close up of me and my pals going bush. Felt like a right diddy, given that in the end we lost too fucking Spartans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 The second time I was on Scotsport, they were trying to film a section but having technical difficulties so kept having to re-shoot it. Sarah O turned to the (predominantly male) audience and said "Ooh, I love a good cock up." Dirty besom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillonearth Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 No,, but I was on the front page of either the Daily Record or Sun a few years ago. "Comedy" rapper The Wee Man was in the foreground performing wee-ned-like hijinks on a traffic island in Argyle St one lunchtime, with me openly scowling contemptously at him as I passed by assuming it was just some random wee pie.
