Thats it really!

I've googled and googled, left messgaes with a couple of agencies who haven't got abck to me.

Would like him to do a 'this is your life' at my mums 50th birthday.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Can you hire Michael Aspel for parties? Cool!

Keep chasing his agent I would think would be the best route, unless anyone on here knows him, bump!

Call his agent
Geoffrey Irvine apparently but I can't find a number

You do know that it would probably not be cheap.

Heifer · 02/02/2008 10:35

The biggest understandment of the century I feel LGJ......

Unless you are offering a serious amount of money SaveFerris I wouldn't think that MA would be that interested really, unless your mother is very famous and then you might get it for free (if televised)...

I was being nice.

The unwritten subtext was blunter and less gentle.

Maybe a 'lookalike' instead?

fordfiesta · 02/02/2008 10:39

what about a M.A. look alike.... there must be one somewhere??

PuppyMonkey · 02/02/2008 10:44

Just to give you an idea of price, I had to book Graham Norton as an after dinner speaker - probably about six years ago - and even then it was £20,000. Plus expenses.

I'm sure your mum would love a big box of choccies just as much!

ZippiBabes · 02/02/2008 10:46

my first thought was why would you want to?

what about casting a friedn or relation in the role

and using the money for something else you sound very nice no one did anything for my 50th didnt even get me a present

Cappuccino · 02/02/2008 10:46

cut out a big picture of Michael's head and stick it on your uncle's face

DrNortherner · 02/02/2008 10:48

Oh gawd it will be extortinate, even top range after dinner speakers without teh profiel of MA can be £10,000 upwards, and that is for 30/40 mins after dinner only, not a whole this is your life thing.

ZippiBabes · 02/02/2008 10:50

i would have barfed if ma had turned up at my birthday

johnny depp i would have said thank you tho

PuppyMonkey · 02/02/2008 10:54

Ooh, yes. Now you mention it Johnny Depp would be a lovely surprise for anyone. Well worth the £100m plus expenses I would've thought.

ZippiBabes · 02/02/2008 10:56

does you mum like ma

ZippiBabes · 02/02/2008 10:57

well just a random hot guy would do

ZippiBabes · 02/02/2008 10:58

Ooh lots of posts!! Thanks everyone - WWW is that who his agent is?

Yes I know he will be expensive - he comes in at around £6,000 to £10,000, depending on what he is doing. (my dad is paying, not me :-) )

Zippibabes its not that she loves him. just thought it would be a fab way to kick off the suprise party we are holding for her - getting lots of old friends she deosn't get to see very often, family from away, my brother who lives in New York is going to come over etc etc. I'm going for maximum tears!!!

Thats just stupid, sorry

A lookaloke would be much funnier and imagine what you could do with that money

FFS give me a suit and a red book and I'll do it for £100!!

'More money than sense' springs to mind
