" FIFTEEN TO ONE " 1994

On 28th February 1994, I arrived at the Star Studios in Wandsworth, South London, to be in a run through for sound and lighting for the TV quiz show " Fifteen to One " with William Stewart, who was the producer for " Top of the Pops ".
There were 6 of us who had been selected to play two games each, on my first game I reached the final and won it.
As this was only run through, with us Supporting Artistes, William Stewart asked me if I would like to compete in the actual show, I said that I would prefer not because, being a run through, there was no pressure on any of us which there would be if the show was being filmed for real.
At some later stage, a few years later, I did attend an audition for the show and was interviewed by Philip Lowrie, who plays Dennis Tanner in " Coronation Street". Dennis was at that time the male voice-over for
" Fifteen to One".
 I was not successful on getting on to the programme which is no longer being screened.
