I was thrilled to receive an e-mail out of the blue yesterday from one of the researchers for Channel 4's 'Superscrimpers,' asking me to get in touch with them. As we had an urgent appointment yesterday afternoon, I replied and said I would phone her this morning.
Anyway, I watched the programme yesterday evening, had a good old think about whether I really wanted to see my mug on TV (I have a face and figure far more suited to radio,) talked it over with P and, finally, slept on it. The upshot was actually, no, I didn't think I wanted to take the opportunity any further. Who knows, maybe I should have said yes, but I know I would have felt very uncomfortable about it all. I was chuffed to bits to be contacted in the first place though and I'm very much looking forward to seeing Ilona's money-saving tips when she appears on the show next week.
I can perfectly well understand your reasons for saying no to this offer of fifteeen minutes of fame.
Some years ago I was interviewed by a newspaper. The editor made it a mockery. Never again.
