Recently received a text message from Tom to say he will appear on the Ant and Dec TV Show on Saturday 26th Feb 8.00pm. I have no further details, but will be worth a look!

Riley

Cool, VCR's on stand by then.

On a seperate note, will Tom be joining us at the next UKEA meet?

Ros

I hope so, Ros. Haven't had his reply, yet.

If anyone else with a genuine interest wants to attend the next UKEA meeting, please contact me for details.

Riley

Riley I think its Nicer to meet twice a year rather. then once a year.

Yeah . . we can do the "..as I was saying.." bit

Hi guys

Just to let you know, I will be the other expert on the show with Tom.

Cheers

David

Anyone see the show ?

Double trouble

I just caught it, but didn't get chance to video it. For those that didn't see it, Ant and Dec have to do a challenge every week and compete against eachother. This week was their turn to have a bash at escapology. They were trained by David and Tom to perform the 100' rope tie, tied to a chair. It was basically a race to see who could get out and press make it to the buzzer first.
I didn't see the whole show though. Did either of you guys (David and/or Tom) do any escapes yourselves?
Ros

Ros we need to get you a DVDR Recorder.

Well, guys. I'm ashamed to say that after giving out the news, I missed it

Stand in the corner, Riley!

Hi guys

I have only just seen the footage myself, having forgotten to set the video.. oops.

The peice came over really well I think. Both presenters managed to escape, with the one I taught (Dec) gtting out first. There was only half a second in it though, and the atmosphere in the studio was very tense. Everyone involved felt it was the best challenge that had been done so far, it certainly was dramatic and nail biting to watch.

The footage from the training, and of the live escape/s did not make escapology look easy. The guys looked like they had gone through hell (they had!) to do a fairly simple rope escape.

Neither myself or Tom did any live escapes. We trained the guys and tied them up on the night.

ITV have a page about the show with some footage of the escape to download. It is at: http://www.itv.com/page.asp?partid=2258

And video

Cheers

David

From the video, we can tell you did a pretty good job training those two! Well done.



That would've been so much publicity! What did you say...8, 9 million viewers?

Ant and Decs Saturday Night Takeaway gets about 7.53 million viewers, which is the highest rating TV show at 7:00pm on a Saturday night. In second place is the National Lottery, which is broadcast at the same time, with 6.22 million viewers. So basically the British public would rather watch our two boys training a couple of celebs in escapology than see if they've won millions of pounds.
This info was taken from BARB http://www.barb.co.uk and is the ratings for terrestrial TV only, which doesn't include SKY or Cable.
Well done again guys!
Ros

ps
can you spot the media student??
