Crimestoppers
Had a friend who was desperate for someone to stage a reconstruction for Crimestoppers.
Always happy to help stem the ride of crime and seeing my fee for an yhours acting I got paid £50 to rob an old lady of all her posessions, (she played herself).
The scam was that I was from the water Board and whilst I was running the taps downstairs my accomplice went upstairs! Trouble was being Bristol people actually believed that I was the perp and kept pointing at me in the supermarket!
The real criminal has yet to be caught!

Re: Crimestoppers
That reminds me: I played Georgi Markov in a BBC reconstruction of his murder. They were trying to save costs by not using an actor but it was ill-advised as I looked nothing like him. Consequently, they shot me from odd angles as if I'd been the mystery guest in A Question of Sport.
The other problem they had was that the bloke who played my assassin was Scottish and when he stabbed me with the brolly was supposed to say "Sorry" - the trouble was that every time he did it, he sounded like he came from eastern Glasgow not eastern Europe. So I had to say "sorry" in a heavy Slavic accent as I was stabbed. I did get an extra £20 for speaking though.

Got interviewed by BBC news during the fire strike after a big motorway crash on the M5.
Couldn't believe what a knob I sounded! Best quote was, " The lads done a blinding job!"
I will never laugh a footballer being interviewed again.

I've been on South Korean TV. A film crew came into our office one afternoon, and a colleague and I had to point at something on the computer screen and pretend to talk about what we saw (sadly it was before the days of NSC, so there may actually have been something vaguely work related on display). Our brief was to say whatever the hell we liked, because they were going to dub us into Korean anyway.
Never did find out what the programme was about, but it must have been dull.

I was once interviewed by a roving reporter for the UEA TV station (so glamorous I can't remember what it was called).
They were doing vox pops on a militant occupation of the vice-chancellor's offices. Reason? Again, can't recall. Maybe it was loans. Or Nicaragua. Troops Out, perhaps.
Anyway, I'd been in to have a look because there were some well fit chicks in there from the European languages department.
Faced with this would-be John Humphreys, I just about mustered a 'Yeah, great solidarity, let's get the management bastards', and then ambled off to the pub for some piss-cheap Hurlimann. I don't think this extensive interview made it off the cutting-room floor.

Wasn't it called Nexxus? All I remember of it was that every programme looked like one of those 1980s hostage videos from Beirut.

Now you mention it, I did raise an eyebrow when he sat me down on a chair and brandished a blindfold and a card that read 'Mercy for the infidels'.
Strangely, the two presenters of Nexus that year both went on to successful broadcasting careers. Roger Farrant, and Marcus 'Buckland' (or Bluett, as he was then..)
