I appeared in a segment on Border News in Carlisle. It was regarding how a group of local parents (including mine) were withdrawing their children from a primary school and moving them to other nearby schools, because they couldn't stand how the school's Governors and Deputy Head were in clique-y cahoots. They colluded to have a really nice head teacher sacked, and the deputy enthroned. Sort of a pre-New Labour Blair-Brown situation, as I understand it. Deputy had been long in his job, thought he deserved the job or whatever. Nasty piece of work. Anyway, me and a few other kids and our parents were filmed walking in front of the school. Going to school the day after the report aired, it felt like being a minor celebrity.
I've also been on Time Team. Sort of. My dad was helping out on a dig in Cumbria, in someone's back yard - local archaeological expertise sort of thing. At the end of the three days, when Tony Robinson showed off a completely reconstructed pot they made in a field, based on a find from the trenches, they switched to an overhead shot taken from a helicopter. You could see me as a little white spec running about nearby.
