coprolite Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 My knee was in shot while a very camp bald man in a kilt interviewed my obese friend about her fashion choices at t in the park for the telly, as she fell over backwards.

Black and White Tragic Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 My brother in law was an extra in A Shot at Glory at the homecoming scene in Crail. Ironic at the time as he is a Hibee. Nevermind, 17 years later, he was at Hampden to see a real cup win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Rider Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I was interviewed during Scotland’s last World Cup in France 98. I was moaning about the shitey weather in Bordeaux. Everyone back home and at work saw it and it still gets brought up at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I was on a T in the Park advert. Stopped us in there, I was two days into a binge. Had ma specs and a daft hat on. Also had shave a wee shitey tache into my face for some reason, probably why I made the cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

50/50 Winner Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 In 2005, I was working for Aberdeen City Council and had to attend a training course which was being held at a Catholic church just off Union Street. When we stopped for lunch, I went outside for a smoke and saw a reporter and a guy with a camera. I went over to see what was going on, they told me that the Pope had died and asked if I would like to say a few words on camera. Being on the spot, I agreed and havered for 5 minutes or so. The STV six o'clock news came on that night and there I was, commenting on the passing of John Paul II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I’d just crossed the finish line of a marathon when a TV reporterette shoved a microphone in my face and asked “You’ve just run 26.2 miles. How do you feel?I replied “I’m fucking knackered love, how about you?Apparently it went out live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieThomas Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Was interviewed in the pub with a bunch of ex-pats by Keith Downie for STV News the night before the 2012 Cup final (I lived in Corstorphine at the time but my mate came up from Nottingham, so there we are). Anyway it took three takes because my mate was steaming, and I predicted us to win 5 nil. Big thanks to James McPake for embarassing me in front of the entire nation there.

Tibbermoresaint Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 A friend of mine does paid extra work occasionally. It sounds dull but he caught my attention when he said he'd repeatedly had to open a car door for Keira Knightly. Another friend was in a ball scene in Outlander dressed as an army officer. As he's of Pakistani descent I suspect they weren't aiming for historical authenticity. I was interviewed by STV on Princes Street on the day of the 2014 referendum. I also recently did an interview on a New Zealand TV travel show about Leith as a tourist destination. They gave me sub-titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
