Minor thing: I saw Have I Got News For You being recorded, and went to the hospitality bit afterwards where you get to stand near Paul Merton and see just how tall he is. (Very. About 6'3 I reckon.) Major thing: I filmed a pilot for BBC Comedy Extra called Ashen's Tech Dump. It's a series of sketches and animations presented by me in a storeroom full of outdated tech gubbins. More Tech Dump info: It's produced by Hat Trick Productions and directed by Al Campbell (Screenwipe/Newswipe/Gameswipe, this, this.) We filmed two full sketches and several very short one-off jokes. I'll also be producing four short animations. The shoot required the services of three professional dancers and two pairs of fake breasts. Edited by Ashens, Oct 31 2009, 01:28 AM.

Tragically the advent of competent lighting and a proper video camera will show my beard in it's true non-gingery state. However, I can supply an orange felt tip you can colour your TV in with.

I'm really rather looking forward to all this hard work coming to fruition! I'll take two of those orange felt tips, please. *Errm, yeah. It's late, and I've been reading a lot of Stephen King books lately.

Fair point. It's the start of your journey into the big bad world of ~~selling out~~ fame and fortune.

Back in the day it would've been possible if you ran 'errands' for Michael Grade.
