The Great Cornholio

I realise that I have been banging on today about the need for self deprication to post on here. Well, having a clearout downstairs, I found the DVD of me on a Channel 5 quiz show. So, what better way to practice what I preach than to give you a 30 second, soundless snippet of my hour of fame (or shame!). I'm the one in the bright red shirt on the right looking petrified and with a slightly campo hairdo. (Not sure what happened there - it was 6 years ago and I think I was trying to use all the hair I could muster. I also picked the clip where I give the most ridiculous answer during my 4 programme stint. Have a look at my guess to the first question. Doh! 
Anyway, upshot is that I somehow ones this programme and 2 others before losing when tyhe pressure of recording show after show with just long enough to change shirt finally told. It was very low budget and they had just 1 camera with 4 lenses and no cameraman. There was one lense per person and one for the wide shot. They put a piece of A4 paper with an arrow beneath my lense and told me to stare at it - hence the startled rabbit look. After 2 hours of doing this, dizzyness set in and I lost concentration badly (and lost badly!) I could have won more than the £300 I did.
As a little footnote, the day after I received the cheque for £300, my car dies and cost £450. And some guy went on a week after me and proceeded to win 75 times before being made to stop.
Any, here it is - feel free to pass whatever abusive comments you want - looking at my camp appearance, I'd be disappointed if you didn't!
100% video
PS - Sorry for the poor quality but out of 3 attempts to video, only this dodgy one survived and didn't transfer to DVD too well.
