Various audience shots are all I've managed, from the Lottery hosted by Gloria Estefan, to Mel and Sue, to Eurovision: You Decide two years ago.

Oh, and you'll hear me chuckling loudly throughout the final episode of Series 3 of Miranda, but that's more cos I was one of only about half a dozen men in the whole audience.

My 'as seen on tv' collection is pretty scattergun

In the audience of Goldenballs (twice) The Weakest Link (twice) and Duel
The back of my head has been on Perfection, and Who Dares Wins (twice) and The Colour Of Money
And been seen couple of times attempting not to look at the camera on Sky News, Central News and BBC News

Where I have been on tv, but for reasons you'll find out, never saw myself back later..

In the audience for the US's Game Show Network remake of Who Dares Wins as The Money List (filmed in Studio 1 at TLS on a sweltering Saturday morning in September 2008) and I was interviewed by Icelandic Television (RUV) who were doing a report on British cruise ships visiting Iceland/Reykjavik and finding out a) why choose to come to Iceland and b) Yep - what impact Brexit will have post 2019.

Appeared a few times in the background of a Midlands Today report in 2012. Filmed at a jobs fair I was running a stall at. At one point I was doing the "Looking at the camera but trying not to look obvious at the same time" shtick. I was sad enough to record it but lost it.

I was a contestant on Tipping Point too about 3 years ago.

I was on one of those home makeover shows that was on BBC One daytime in 2005 (can't remember what it was called). It was for a friend of mine whose house got a somewhat moderate makeover. Although a bit messy, the house wasn't that bad but me and a couple of others had make out how terrible it was. Most of what I said ended up on the cutting room floor but some of it got on screen.

Been on North West Tonight in the background during a launch event. Dave Guest was there. Good times.

I’ve been in the audience for

Million Pound Drop Live (great sweeping shot of me and my mate at the start!)

Millionaire (the penultimate ever episode)

The Cube (you can see me clearly right behind the family and friends and I even jump out of my seat at one point in celebration of the contestant completing the game on their last go!)

Deal Or No Deal at both the dream factory and on tour at Blackpool Tower (sadly we all just got plonked in the ballroom whilst Noel and co played above us!)

£100K Drop (still to be aired at some point this year)

Countdown with Margaret from The Apprentice in dictionary corner (at the time filmed in the same studio as The Voice UK!)

Also remember semi appearing on BBC Look North as a young nipper for some reason or another, I’ve also had them turn up at my door for some footage of a local school fire once! (Back in the days before YouTube and the like really took off of course!). Not that I asked but I didn’t get paid a penny Very Happy

I was once in the crowd in the background during a mid-90s episode of Tomorrow's World, which had an OB segment from Buchanan Street in Glasgow - I've had a quick glance on Genome but can't see anything obvious, so have no idea what the subject was.

I've also been a talking head on the news a couple of times. Once was being interviewed about student funding by John Nicolson (who's now an MP) - they recorded a cover shot of me buying a pint in the student union, which went out on Breakfast the next morning, along with a live interview; some people thought I was drinking that early.

I was also on Sky News as a disgruntled Virgin Media customer no longer able to watch Sky News or Sky One. They turned up to my flat to film me watching as the screen went blank at midnight. Apparently I remained on the system as stock footage of 'person browsing cable TV EPG', and was still occasionally appearing years later.

In the course of my job, I can be seen briefly in a shot in an episode of 'Attenborough: 60 Years in the Wild', sitting at my desk in CCA next to the man himself. He was doing a piece to camera about watching a space launch; I was looking busy while doing my day job.

Finally, I may have appeared on Korean TV news today as part of a 'foreign media starting to arrive for Winter Olympics' type of story - at least, I assume that's why there was a camera pointing at us when we got to the arrivals hall!
