A lot of people want to be on TV and sign up for everything. Would you like to go on quiz shows, relocation, Jeremy Kyle or any other TV show?
I would hate to do something like that and would be embarassed in case I made a fool of myself.
I did however, go on Local Radio a few years ago. Not my choice. I had entered a survey on line and had been asked if I would be willing to participate in an interview on arthritis. Imagine my surprise when I got a call from a PR company telling me that they had arranged an interview with our local radio station for the following morning and a taxi would pick me up at 08.30. Told them that I was not really interested but it was all arranged and not much choice in the matter.
Listening to our local radio station the following morning, it stated that a woman was coming in to talk about her arthritis and how a certain product had helped. I did go and felt very nervous. During the radio interview all was fine with a discussion with a professor who was working on this and had found that fish oil really did help. At the end of the interview, the presenter asked me what was I writing at the moment, I said 'not a lot'. Discovered later that the PR company had me down as a writer obviously to make me appear more interesting.
Fourtunately, no one I knew heard the interview and I was paid £200 for doing it with a taxi to and from the location. They did try to get local TV etc. interested but fortunately they did not take it up.
