I have been contacted by a chap named Richard who is a producer for some ITV shows.
He wanted to know if I would be interested in appearing as a feature on the tv show Pulling Power due to be broadcast in October. After a few seconds of thought passed by, I agreed to this as being a good idea and we arranged an initial meeting at my house in Shropshire. He came up, we had a cup of tea and a chat about the show and it was agreed that something could be done.

I was then contacted by Alex, I presume his PA from the production company team and we arranged a time that would be suitable for the filming. The 25th of July was the date and we hoped that the weather would be in our favor, which of couse as it happened was not.

The production team arrived at about 9am on the wednesday morning, followed by the presenter Mike Brewer, known well from Pulling Power and other car related programs like Driven.

The day certainly had its wet and dry moments causing all sorts of havoc for the team, but I have to say they were all very professional and considering the pressure they were under, having a good laugh was a big part of their day. If only every day could be like this one.

I will post the transmission/ air times here, when they are confirmed.

Apparently the episode I am in will be aired from the 4th October 2007 on IVT1 & ITV4 for 1 week.
Update !! The air date has now been moved to the 11th October.

Mike Brewer talking to me about the Viper. He could have been a stand up comedian.		I think in this picture we were chatting about the starting procedure. Multiple takes were filmed, to cover every angle. From the right we have me, Mike, Nick and Richard.
Down to the airfield and the rain comes in heavily, time taken out to discuss film angles.		What a pro, Nick sat in the boot of Mike's specially modified Mondeo film car.
A sequence on the C5, I have to say the film crew did very well to put up with me, Its a massive understatement to say that I am very poor in front of a camera.		Pre flight discussions. Richard, Mike in the C5 and Me.
I guess he enjoyed that first run!		I can fly, a happy looking Mike.
On TV as promised.
