The school I worked at was on a news item years ago and they spent a whole day interviewing ‘the best’ teachers (not me, I was only supply) who were telling the whole staff room about what they’d said. The final item had no interviews and only general shots and somehow I appeared in nearly every one. Replayed it loads of times!

Yes. I was briefly On the last series of hospital. Some of it was filmed on my ward. I still haven't lived it down!

AlexaAmbidextra · 19/10/2018 16:16

Several times. Mostly local news but once nationally. All to do with work.

shatteredstudentmum · 19/10/2018 16:16

I've been on songs of praise a few times over the last few months. We filmed lots of songs and they show one or two at a time.

I sat next to Chris Packham on The Really Wild Show when I was about ten!

Goldmandra · 19/10/2018 16:19

No.

I've been asked to several times but never had the balls to agree Blush

Just a local news thing years ago about our school, there was a shot shot of us playing in the background while the head got interviewed.

marcopront · 19/10/2018 16:33

My Dad was on Countdown

CarryOnScreamingValenta · 19/10/2018 16:35

Yes, as A Randomer interviewed on local news about a topical issue.

Effendi · 19/10/2018 16:35

Me and husband were on Cyprus news about 14 years ago. At the front of the crowd at a Queen tribute gig.

Husband has been caught on various news cameras loads of times, usually when they have filmed at the airport where police have been checking drivers tachographs and in Nicosia during protests, road closures etc.

ColinsVeryJolly · 19/10/2018 16:36

I’m in the background of a few bargain hunt episodes. They were filming at a local auction house when I was there with my mum selling a piece of jewellery of my nan’s.

I was on Mastermind back in 2014. Came a respectable joint 3rd.

idril · 19/10/2018 16:50

As an "expert" on the news several times for work. Hated it so changed my career path so I don't have to do it anymore.

I've been on BBC1 daytime telly three times, name on the screen and everything.

Through my job.

Yoksha · 19/10/2018 17:04

46 yrs ago. Songs of Praise. Twice! They recorded some Christmas carols and edited it for the season that year. I saw myself and was cringing, I was about 13 or 14. Still have panic attacks thinking about it now. I was in the school choir.

MrsJBaptiste · 19/10/2018 17:18

Yes, I can't say what programme as it would totally out me (everyone I know has seen it!) but it was an hour long programme with interviews, footage of us as a family, etc. so not a 2 second glimpse of us in the background!

I actually thought it was just on local TV until my sisters friend in London texted her to say she'd seen me and DH on the programme. Fame at last - not that we asked to me on at all, we were approached by the BBC.

hormonalhorrorshow · 19/10/2018 19:51

Back in the 90's I was featured on "the hit man and her" in a very tacky Romford nightclub. Apparently. I have no recollection of this, and only know because my colleague at my big 5 accountancy firm caught it, and happened to mention it 
Shame on home for watching late night trash tv, I say!
