I heard today from the "Car Nation" telly prog producer that apparently I was cut out at the last minute. I don't know why. Maybe BBC cuts have meant they've had to shorten the programme. Maybe I'm just too nice and didn't say anything controversial. Maybe my Wife didn't slag off my Z enough for them. Who knows?
I suppose it has all turned out to be a bit of a waste of time, but it was interesting to see how the filming was done. Sorry to anyone who thought they had some BBC fame coming along! There will be a VHS of me/my car/SEZ available so I believe, so at least there'll be a memento for me in my dotage.
Actually, my Wife is pretty relieved as she hadn't really wanted to be involved (she agreed under protest). I'm kinda bemused, and my eldest daughter (9) is heartbroken as I think she saw this as the gateway to fame and had told all her friends she was going to be on TV. Tough break kiddo.
But, at least I can take my "media whore" badge off now...
