The One Show - BBC1
I have recently been working as sound recordist on several films for The One Show - 7pm weekdays on BBC1. It is one of many Adrian Chiles fronted programmes currently on TV, but my parents like it a lot so that’s good enough for me. As usual I don’t get much chance to see the stuff I have worked on, but the days spent working on these have been really good fun. The formula for the films is a celebrity presenting an interesting story from around the country, often with a topical or local theme. I have spent several days working with genial ‘King of the Jungle’ Phil Tufnell which has been great; I grew up watching cricket in an era where Tuffers was the best spin bowler in the country by a country mile. I remember him almost single-handedly bowling out the West Indies, I remember him being disciplined for turning up at the team hotel first thing in the morning straight from a nightclub with some ladies in tow, but most of all I remember him being absolutely peppered by Courtney Walsh and Curtly Ambrose in the West Indies…the poor chap was nearly decapitated that day.
I have also recorded the sound for a One Show piece about a Shakespeare imposter presented by John Sergeant, who is a lovely chap and has the best stories, but has problems negotiating public places without cries of ‘you should never have quit that ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ you know John…I voted for you!’ echoing after him. Poor chap.
