Awfully nice people at the BBC!

[Hilldodger]

Blue Peter have agreed to my terms and will even be putting me up in a hotel for the night

Look out for one of our Tall Bikes on telly on Tuesday

Well done Rog! Did they budge on the 50 quid offer?
...and when does the Stella ad hit our screens?

 

[Hilldodger]

Oh yes


...and when does the Stella ad hit our screens?

Later this summer. It'll be on the web first because they haven't planned when it'll be screened in the UK, yet.

Don't worry, I'll swallow my usual shyness and let everyone know when it's released

You should take a look at a couple of these for inspiration.

No wonder the BBC keep asking for a licence fee increase! It's all down to Hilldodger and his outrageous demands on their funds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too right Rob. Do they also pay the presenter's of The One Show?

 

[Keith Oates]

I would have thought the honour of being on the Beeb would be such that fees were not needed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[bonj2]

goes to show you should always haggle.
they probably always try it on to see who's naive enough to doit for peanuts before they make a sensible offer.

 

[sheddy]

Did anyone see it ?

 

[Hilldodger]

It was recorded and will now go out next tuesday as part of a cycling special.

Not sure how much Cyclemagic will feature because British cycling were there too and they recorded much more than will be needed.

One of the presenters was riding the Tall Bike on set during the opening part of the show, though.

And I got to fondle the Blue Peter dogs but not the female presenter

 

[Fnaar]

Did the elephant thing cross your mind at all?

 

[Hilldodger]

It did actually think about elephants, the same studio is used for the Jonathan Ross show and I thought about one stamping on his head.

But as the programme was recorded I didn't see the point in crapping on set

 

[girofan]

Hilldodger is now taking bookings for after dinner speaking as an expert on the BBC, with his specialist subject, Jonathan Ross. Pronouncing his R's as W's costs a little more!

Matthew Parris disclosed his BBC 'rate' in his column today.

"BBC Radio Scotland, and its Northern Ireland equivalent, pay me about £40 plus VAT for short interviews, while BBC Radio 5 Live pays £75 for a three-quarter-hour involvement in discussion programmes."
