So, was it this series that you were interviewed for?

Who, me? I haven't been interviewed for a TV series

There are more than a few people on here who could've done a better drawing

Indeed.

Did they also show drawings of the people who were interviewed or featured in the program?

Indeed. The portraits that were auctioned at the MFC party first came to my mind. There are quite a few people here that draw his face brilliantly.

Yes, that is what I thought - we had far better art work for the auction.

No, I don't remember seeing drawings on the prog. on Sunday

I thought they had sketches and portraits of all the bands and artists on this program. I guess we'll have to wait and see why they used this drawing then.

A while ago there was something on here about someone wanting to interview Mika fans for a BBC TV series. It was after you'd been in that newspaper. I put myself forward as I am good in interviews and I am a public speaker, but apparently they had enough ppl already. But I did think you'd been asked because it was after the paper-thing.

Ah, I see. Sorry - I was a litle confused.

I spoke to a couple of producers at the time who were working on different ideas but nothing came of it. One was someone who was working on some sort of thing where you would be put on the spot and have to identify Mika tracks within a second (

) but they decided that Mika didn't have a big enough back cataloug of mainstream hits (in the UK!). The other one was a prog for a new TV production company. They were looking at making a prog. about manic fans and following their activities. Their filming wndow was last August to October and we didn't have anything on at that time so it didn't happen.

I think that Jazzy was also in touch with someone.

The second episode is called 'I'm in a Girl Group' so the third could be something along the lines of 'I'm a Pop Star!' and more focused on solo stars, hence the Mika drawing, although I don't know if Mika will be featured...

BUMP!
I've also posted this on the M&T thread. I saw the doc about girl groups last night. It was really good and I congratulate the Beeb for screening such an interesting and unbiased documentary.
Anyway, at the end they quickly previewed next weeks show and I caught a precious glimpse of our golden boy, from the WAG vid.
This bodes well, because if they'd shown a clip from the GK vid they would probably talk about him like he's a one hit wonder. But showing him in the WAG vid shows that they realize he's had several hits.
So now I'm looking forward to next week's show. I don't know how much they'll talk about Mika, but he should get a mention at least. It's on BBC2 next Saturday evening.

OH! I thought it was Sunday nights that it was on! I must have missed last nights then.
