I was on a scottish gardening prog for about 30 seconds, the problem was I had to ascend through the shot which was being taken from a cherry picker, the presenter kept fluffing her lines so I got more knackered each time. They spent ages filming for about 30seconds of program.

did a 4 min film back in 2000 for the we're in business awards which was shown at the dome and on bbc. Production crew followed us for a day. Taking down a dead Ash with camera man laying on his back under tree while I dropped top was felt to be a bit risky.Ended up throwing a 4 foot branch off steps towards camera,all of 6' off ground.Looked and sounded spot on once it was all edited. We got £1500 expenses for filming,2 nights in london ,50 tickets to the dome so we booked a coach and took a load of our private customers..we took 2nd place and won a glass plate apparently worth £5000 and shed loads of work from all the press coverage....come to think of it,I can cash in the plate if things don't pick up,might get a fiver...lol
