On TV ... again! - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Mark Robson · 16th January 2008, 04:18 PM

This is getting to be a habit. I got a phone call at lunchtime from the BBC asking if I would come to London tomorrow morning to be one of the guests on the BBC1 TV Breakfast Show. They were looking for an ex-RAF pilot/instructor to comment on Prince William's flying training, but I should get a chance to plug my books as well ... at least, I hope so.

I accepted without even thinking about it. Feeling a little nervous now. A live interview on a show that's watched by several million viewers ... what could possibly go wrong?!

If nothing else I get to try out the famous sofa!

Wow! Congratulations (I think!), make sure to mention dragon orb series!

Threddy · 16th January 2008, 04:27 PM

Cool, Well Done.

Oooh! What time is it on? I'm home tomorrow morning on Study Leave. If it's not too early, then I'll drag myself out of bed and give you a good staring! Muahaha!

Mark Robson · 16th January 2008, 05:02 PM

I believe the interview is due to be at about 0710.

HoopyFrood · 16th January 2008, 05:05 PM

I was going to say I might be able to crawl out of bed and watch it too...

But now you've said that unholy time, I don't think so...

Heh, I might try to, but either way, hope it goes well! And go you, you tv star, we'll be seeing you on every channel soon, it seems

Lenny · 16th January 2008, 05:08 PM

Ten past Seven? Ah... that's the whole point of study leave if your exam is in the afternoon - so you don't have to wake up before 11.

If I'm awake, then I'll watch it, but I can't promise anything.

Good luck with it! Make sure you tell everyone how good Chrons is!

M@.Price · 16th January 2008, 05:49 PM

10 past 7, I have to drag myself out of bed before that on a daily basis, so i hope i can watch it!

Joel007 · 16th January 2008, 06:08 PM

I won't even be remotely concious, but I have plans for watching the recording

Teresa Edgerton · 16th January 2008, 07:15 PM

Oh, congratulations, Mark! I'm sure you'll be a hit.

I wish it was possible to see the segment here, but short of someone putting it on Youtube ...

M@.Price · 16th January 2008, 07:24 PM

Yeah, if someone could maybe....

sanityassassin · 16th January 2008, 10:25 PM

I will be at work I don't finish till 7.15 or I would have watched it I usually do when I get home they do repeat some sections of the show so more people will see it so hopefully I will catch a rerun before I go to bed

Joel007 · 17th January 2008, 08:31 AM

'twas at 7:10 am, and Mark was informative and funny in his brief appearance

hehe, "the cows get bigger." Is that a standard RAF training quote?

Not quite a standard training quote, Joel, but a well-worn phrase.

Congratulations Mark ... I do hope you get a chance to talk about your books and I too wish I could see this.

Maybe I could ask someone to tape it and watch it over Eastercon. That would work.

Good luck.
