I have been on television several times; once in tasmania and twice on S4C - I reckon i've had dozens of viewers !
About 4 years ago i was doing laps around my local park,when a car pulled up and a man with one of those big sit on shoulder tv cameras got out and started filming the people in the car,then he turned and filmed me as i passed. As i came round again he filmed me again. I was a bit annoyed as i thought it was bit rude to do so without my permission. I didn't think any more of it till a month or so later Mrs Accy called me into the front room,saying i was on the telly. I went in to see she'd paused a program she'd recorded earlier about anti social neighbours. The family in the car were classed as anti social and i suppose the cameraman wanted a shot of me just for the good look affects. The 4.5 second sequence shows me cycling up the hill in my fluouro' orange Altura jacket. It was the jacket that alerted Mrs Accy,as she said she recognised it straight away. So that's my one and only tv appearance,that i know of.

Impressive.Was on Chinese TV at some point in the 90s.I was asked to do a voice over for a holiday commercial.The night before I stayed out drinking (rice wine !) So between takes I had a bucket between my legs) my accent was all over the place.
They loved it ! Never drink the local.moonshine.
I did a fair bit of "traveling" in my 20s /30s but China i did have some mad experiences.Spent nearly a year traveling there and think i was slightly un-hinged when leaving.Met my better half there though,so theres was a happy ending !Impressive.
You've reminded me of another of mine. Working with a Chinese client in N China. He was receiving a business award on local tv. I was invited and sat in the audience
When he came.up for his award the announcer said there was a special guest in the audience....his UK adviser, me! Spotlight on me, I had to stand up and wave while the audience applauded
Awful really. Consigned to history unlike my Hit Man and Her appearance which is out there somewhere even now
