Ideal Shopping Channel looking for a split for Friday night

Ideal Shopping Channel looking for a split for Friday night

by presland123 » Mon Jun 01, 2009 7:05 pm
My bus was due to be used for a Joe Browns show on the Ideal Shopping Channel on Friday night as a backdrop, but a minor problem at the MOT means I cant get it there now.

They are based in Peterborough and would need your bus from mid afternoon this Friday and they should be finished with it after 8pm (the TV slot is 7-8) and they are paying £150. They are looking for a clean and tidy bus for the background, so no rat looks I am afraid.

If you are interested, if you can e-mail me photos to presland_presland@hotmail.com with your contact details and I will pass on to them on a first dibs basis.

Looks like they picked me :D

Thanks Dave for the opportunity. ( I owe you a beer :drunken: )

The show is going out tomorrow night between 6pm and 8pm. The van will be in the back ground and it's a "Joe Browns" surf wear show.

You will only see the bus though if the weather is fine as they want to shoot it outside so if it p's it down they can't use it.
Unfortunately they can't get it inside the studio :roll: :roll:
Think my surfboard will be used as a prop too !

Oh the world of showbiz awaits lol

Unfortunately the director decided that the weather was not settled enough to use the outside location so they decided to film inside and there was no way of getting the van inside.

We were half way there and to be fair to them they paid me anyway (I had taken half a day holiday from work)

We stopped on the way back near Rutland water for a surf shoot of our own :D
