h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Those of you with access to BBC NI might like to see how I got on with Stephen Nolan, Friday night 9.30.

Oh, I wore my " badge to the reheasrals, and everyone loved it and was asking where I got it!

Oooh.
I know we can get BBC Scotland on freeview so will do some investimigating and see if NI's available too.

* goes to check cupboards to ensure adequate supplies of and in stock.

Would this be Panic Attack? Hopefully BBC NI programmes are available on iPlayer to the rest of the UK, and if so I'll have to watch it tomorrow

That's the fella!

I'm afraid you're going to have to put yourself on YouTube so I can see it

I'll get someone back home to tape that then

Tell us the truth - are you getting nervous now even though you've been through it already?

Sho, I'm sure one of us could bung you a tape of it if you want.

Ooh the iPlayer link works!

Valid for 7 days, get it while you can

Dang, out in the first round. Ah well, there's always the next gameshow. Got any more in mind?

I know what you mean when you say it's all about the panic of the moment. You could have given that answer successfully on something like family fortunes - it's that HOT SEAT thing that un-nerved you.

That's what the game reminded me of, a cross between Family Fortunes and probably The Weakest Link.

I Wonder whether this gameshow is going to make it across the Irish Sea and into mainstream UK schedules.

Sorry UK only

it's ok KB - what I really wanted to see was what Bea decided to wear!

You know, even if my brain had been in gear, I'd have said things like Stephen Fry, Alan Davis, Bill Bailey, Dara O'Brien, Rory Bremner, Paul Whitehouse, the Little Britains....

I doubt if I'd have said any more than a couple from the list that Norn Irn people came up with!

But I'd already sussed game-plan-wise that I wanted to stay out of the chair as long as possible. So when the computer picked me to be in it first I knew I wasn't going to be in it too long

Ah well, c'est la vie.

Txt convo with my sis this morning:

Sis: "you came across much better than SN himself. He's too big."

Me: "Aw thanks! he is on a weight loss programme, much publicised on his radio show"

Sis: "That's hilarious - didn't mean literally big - meant he's too big theatrically. You seemed real and he seemed fake. But you also looked much much better than him!"




Ah, sincerity. If you can fake that, you've got it made, eh?

Where do we queue for autographs?

Ooooh I saw you - I think you got the hardest question but thought you looked great


I'll have an autograph too.

Enjoyed that a lot I'm not normally into TV quiz shows at all, but I really liked the format and local flavour of Panic Attack. The slaggings between Nolan and the contestants and each other was hilarious and a breath of fresh air in a format that's usually so sterile and safe.

And of course Beatrice looked great and her banter with Nolan was spot on I'll join the queue for an autograph

Bless you my darlings, you're all too kind!

The set and lighting an all did look fab didn't it? And int iPlayer wonderful?

Delighted to see that Harry Hill got a Bafta as best entertainment (in fact he got 2 didn't he?)

Now if only those 100 Norn Irn people they'd surveyed had been as on the ball, finger on the pulse as me...
