In the crowd for a football match.

Chiggers plays pop. Jackie Graham was the pop star

I was on Dechrau Canu, Dechrau Canmol on BBC Wales as a teenager. Also in the audience for Pointless.

Carrying the Brownie flag on songs of praise in the 70s

In the crowd at Lords cricket ground in the 80s. I spotted myself by the garish jumper I was wearing. No-one else would have known it was me.

I was on the local news after they filmed at the blood donor session I was at, during a really snowy spell. I was interviewed about why I felt it was important to attend to donate despite the bad weather.

Ken Barlow was my teacher at Weatherfield High Tracy and the twins time so was on Corrie a few times.

Proper headteacher refused to let them film Tracy wearing a denim jacket even though they said they’d already filmed scenes on set wearing them. Outside shoots cost so much the agreed to lose the jacket

On top of the pops and also was once in the audience for Ready Steady Cook

In the audience for a popular, long running daytime TV show. I had just graduated university and moved to London. Super exciting time but I was absolutely broke so this was one of the ‘free’ things I did. It was a joy. 😊

Interviewed about child literacy for a magazine programme.

In the queue registering for a marathon.

On Songs of Praise.

Closing Oval tube station during a train operator strike over something or nothing 20 years ago. It was ITV London news.

On the six o'clock news about 30 years ago, in a scruffy old jumper with unbrushed hair, talking about some research I had had nothing to do with, because the person they were supposed to be interviewing, who was all dressed up with her hair and makeup done, had a panic attack and ran out of the building, and I happened to answer the phone in the postgrad office when her boss rang to look for someone else to do it. 'Could you pop down to the lab for a minute please?' 'OK...' <Full BBC film crew waiting> 'Right, this was the study we ran, this was what we found...go!' 😱 Bloody mortifying. I refused to watch it at the time, but it was shown on some random clip show a few years back and I got all these messages saying 'You're on the telly!!' 😳

I was going to be interviewed on The Hit Man and Her.
I was so pale, shot into town, lady I knew on a Clarins counter said try this new tan.
Bear in mind it was 1990 way before fake tan was a big thing.
I put it on, it had a bronzed colour and a bit of glimmer but not much of a tan. In the end I put the whole bottle on in layers. I was sort of a very pale orange.
I had NO idea it developed over time.
You can guess the rest - by 2 am I was like Ross from Friends. Burnt Sienna orange which made my teeth look false.
I had told everyone I was on it, they all watched it and thought it was hysterical.
Got to say, though, once I realised how to apply the stuff that tan became my best friend.
Edited to add: also been an extra on Corrie, Hollyoaks and Brookside back in the day. Absolutely loved it, had a great time, the money came in handy and you’d wait for your episodes usually to see the back of your head in a pub. Hollyoaks and Brookside were filmed in the same place - very confusing - you’d come out of a corridor in Hollyoaks and be in the back of Mick’s Pizza Parlour. And Corrie was filmed next to Jeremy Kyle, so you’d walk off a set and someone would run past you being chased by one of Jezza’s team. Sat in the audience a few times - wild times they were!
