That Friday Feeling….
Friday the 22nd unlucky for some it seems. Woke up to a rather dull cold day and got Ira the PM on the phone to confirm the shoot. The Doc wanted to go to one of his favourite patches to film. Wood Green North London. Ira wanted to go to Carnaby Street in London’s West End. I just wanted to get the shoot done so that I could go home as I felt terrible with a lingering cold.
Come 10AM we were on the streets of Wood Green at work
Come 10:42AM we were still on the streets of Wood Green with a DR C intro to the show and a Go Daddy ad in the bag . No Interviewes yet.
Come 11:30 AM still no interviewes .The fish werent biting..
At 12AM we called it and hopped on the tube to Piccadily Circus
By 1PM we only had one interview in the bag with one young brother and sister team from Slovenia who thought the Doctor was doing a survey for the NHS on tourists views of the British health service. The boy became slightly alarmed when the Doc started asking him if he had ever had sex. The answer in case you’re interested was no. He was a virgin which of course led the Doc to ask him if he masturbated much, which further alarmed him and even more so his sister.. The doc left them in a state of shock and we moved on to..
1:45 Pm Carnaby street and same problem as Wood Green no one wanted to speak.. we decided to can the idea of doing a normal show . The theme was have you ever slept with someone with any offputing habits and have you ever had to tell them that they arent good in bed..
Anyhow we decided to do another Shag Marry Ditch Shoot, as they are slightly easier..This time it was on which Politician would you get it on with the choice..Tony Blair, Davie Cameron and ladies favourite Gordon Brown.. The result ? It seems that the Politicians silver tongues, rugged good looks and high powered status arent a big hit with the ladies of London…
Oh we also had to halt filming half way through as Ira got into a ladies fight with another girl. Apparently something to do with bumping into each other..it ended up with the girl throwing her cup of tea all over Ira and her new boots and not so new coat..quite a scene really..
It was a long day and I got home to find a £960 electricity bill for 3 months..
I think 22 might be the new 13…
