Sky one needs you!

[Jamin_00]

Just had a phone call from a young lady at Sky one. Basically they are doing a show called Tech Geek or something like that where they do a feature on some tech and get their panel of consumer advisors to advise you on what to buy on said tech. Or something like that

So what they want is someone who is fairly new to the hobby but who can fly well enough to appear on the show. They are looking for this person to be looking at what to buy next so their "experts" can advise you on what to buy. You need to be a lively and exciting and bubbly person for the tv show

They are going to send me some blurb that I can put on here which I'm sure will make more sense than what I have done but if you are interested then send me a pm and I will pass their contact details on to you and you can go from there

Do they give you the suggested heli? haha

[Jamin_00]

Here you go, the blurb

"Love flying RC helicopters? Ready to buy an amazing new model but don’t know where to start? New Prime time Sky1 show Gadget Geeks want to help! Come and talk to our consumer experts and get the chance to put the best copters on the market to the test. If you fit the bill and want some more info please email Chloe Cambell "

Also this,

"Just to remind you, we’re looking for someone to come on to our new prime time Sky1 show Gadget Geeks. We need someone who can fly an RC helicopter but who is in the market to go up and level and is definitely in need of some gadget/consumer advice. We would need the contributor for half a day of filming on Wednesday October the 5^th in our studio in West London, and then for a full (and fun!) day of filming on location in early November."

"Full and fun day on location"

That's production company speak for "We can't afford to pay you!"

Having done plenty of location shooting before, and seeing this exact month in the details, I'm out

[Gate88]

im up for it set me up dude.....

Word of warning, I've been doing it 20 years and I haven't had a "fun day on location" yet!
Let alone doing it for the peanut budgets shelled out by in-house Sky productions!

[Jamin_00]

Experts, lol.

Their researchers called me back and spent half an hour asking questions about rc helis so expect to see Kasama Srimok's everywhere and Kontroniks ESC and Cremations ESC's being set on fire in the background (well doing that themselves )!!!!!!!!!!

Only kidding lol but they did say they dont want a seasoned flyer who will know more than their consumer "experts"

Can only be a good thing tho cant it and help promote the hobby some more, go for it Steve I say

[LaurenceGough]

I'm all for helping out but what did they want exactly??


Edit: Ah got it lol...

[Spanner]

no mention of who the "experts" are going to be?
