Shot the infomercial today, had actually forgotten about it so I am glad I actually work on the site of the studio, otherwise I would have been in the cactus when they rang to try and find me…

It is disconcerting to be referred to as the ‘talent’, to be shunted from pillar to post getting hair and makeup done, and the clothing pored over and allocated.

Of course it is more disconcerting to actually be on camera and have to answer questions on the spur of the moment… It seems as though trying to prepare was fruitless… By the time I was questioned I couldn’t even remember one of the tracks I was supposed to have listened to… gulp.

It was fun, it will be interesting to see whether my footage ends up on the final commercial… I am not too concerned if it doesn’t… Then I won’t be embarassed by looking like an idiot…

In other news, the Countdown is going well, we had another extended conversation tonight… I wonder if we might even be quite relaxed with each other by the time the next 8 weeks are done… Time will tell I guess… In the meantime the first week has gone very quickly, I am sure the rest will too…
