Well, I had my five minutes of fame, when we filmed an episode of the Two Fat Ladies cookery programme. It was called the Air Race. Apparently it is still one of the most watched episodes. Globally.
What did we get, nothing really, but that was not the point. We got a really good few days flying, with lots of laughs, and a bit of excitement to watch the end result. Working with the film crews, and of course the Two ladies, was a good giggle.
Now, for about two days flying and organising, we got about 5 minutes in the programme, and that is the rub. Most of the film goes on the cutting room floor. I have no doubt this idea may well produce a similar result. But....if set out correctly prior to any filming, and whoever takes part has a say in the direction and image that the piece will take, then no harm.
Yes the prgramme is pretty dire, but tell me one decent piece of TV since the demise of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
