Dreadful Nonsense

"I've read your blog. it's really funny. you should write a column." - Jon Ronson

We've been on the telly! We are international - well, national - well, national if you live in the UK - telly stars! Well, the back of our heads are. The back of our heads have been on the telly! And the side of Susan's face!

We were in the audience for the Terry and Gaby show, with Terry Wogan and Gaby Roslyn. For those of who uninitiated, it's a kind of down-market Fern and Philip, with T&G appearing for a mere hour every morning from 11am - 12pm on Channel 5. The audience in the studio tend to be maniacal OAPs, gay men, and mentalists who think this kind of thing would be fun. We were none of those, in case you're wondering. We were there to interview the talented Emma Kennedy.

In the audience room before we went in to the studio we were concerned to note that two of the special ladies in the queue appeared to be wearing home-made t-shirts. Upon arrival in to the studio, they grabbed the front seat bonkettes, and our fears were realised when they degowned to reveal TERRY and GABY themed t-shirts, each more frightening than the other. Terry and Gaby themselves did not make reference to them once at all, perhaps afraid to acknowledge their presence in case they attacked. The show was quite fun, although I wouldn't have watched it the whole way through had I had the power of the flicker.

JC caught our appearance, and rang us that night to tell us we looked like a "couple of single mums with nothing better to do". Which was exactly the look we were going for.
