Eggheads
Despite a late finish the night before for Batter of the Bands, Messrs Thorne, Ireland, Nicholson, Scott, Grenfell and Davies made the early trip to Glasgow full of confidence and bacon rolls. After an hour or so in make-up, form-filling and shirt-ironing the team, minus Davies who was warming the bench, swaggered onto set to meet Dermot and the heads of egg.
From then on, it moved into slick BBC production mode. There was no wasting of tax payers money here. And before you could say CJ de Mooi, the boys were in a taxi to the station, ready to take on an afternoon of World cu..sorry work.
But did anyone whip Daphne? Did anyone need 7 takes just to do their intro? Did anyone hand in their notice on Monday?
I’m sure you want to know how they got on. Unfortunately you’ll have to wait until summer 2011 when it goes on air.
