(01 Jun 2015, 8:35 pm)MurdnunoC The experience was quite tedious to be honest.
It was definitely Crosswits and not Chain Letters I went to watch being filmed. I remember the host was called something O'Connor. I thought it might have been Des O'Connor but, after a quick check on Wikipedia, it turns out the host's name was Tom O'Connor. He's obviously someone who made a great impression on me - I can't remember who he was or what he looks like and, to top it off, got both his identity and the name of the show he hosted mixed up with someone and something else.

(01 Jun 2015, 8:48 pm)citaro5284 I use to like Catchword with Paul Coia on BBC2. They had to try and make words and that is where I first heard the longest and second longest words in the dictionary...and I still cannot pronounce them today!!
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
Floccinaucinihilipilification

Can't remember the tune!
I have been on telly a few times, but never in a live studio audience.
Often looked at the sites for shows in London. They give the tickets away.
A few years back, I convinced the place I was working at, that a bonding trip to Leeds would be ideal and that we should get tickets for 'The Price is Right'.
Unfortunately Yorkshire TV came back and shared the news that they weren't making any more series.
I have also been 'live from our Newcastle studio' on BBC news.

(02 Jun 2015, 11:39 am)MurdnunoC I can't see that formula working for Top Gear. It'll just revert back to a motoring magazine programme with a special guest presenter. The chemistry between the three presenters is what makes the show stand out. Perhaps Clarkson can be replaced and the chemistry restored but it'll take time and perseverance.

Perhaps Clarkson can be replaced and the chemistry restored but it'll take time and perseverance.I would be interested to see how guest presenters would work as such as with the way Top Gear is filmed with some stuff filmed months in advance and what the guest hosts would do, could we some doing power tests around the Top Gear test track in fast cars, would we also have to have the guest presenter meet another guest for the star in a reasonably priced car, also I imagine the guest hosts would need some car knowledge for it to work, image these cheap car challenges where the guest would pick something based on the colour and price of the car. Wonder if would end up like BBC panel shows and they'd often have to have women present episodes, just turn on one week and see Jo Brand driving around the track.

Irritates me when people can't just sit there and enjoy the show, feeling the need to criticise everything.

(03 Jun 2015, 6:40 pm)MurdnunoC Never been a big fan of Disney films if I'm honest. Same with the cartoons. I used to like watching Dumbo as a bairn but I don't remember watching anything else apart from that really.
I was a bit too old for Lion King.

(03 Jun 2015, 6:45 pm)MurdnunoC On similar note, I've never been a fan of Marvel Comics. I was always into DC. Avengers doesn't appeal to me in the slightest.
