    Thanks to the Beeb

    By Will 2 years ago, at the end of August Leave a comment on this post

    Thanks to Chris and Jo at BBC Radio Five Live for conducting my first radio interview. Not nearly as frightening as I expected. I want more now! Well…sort of. Next time, hopefully I won’t sound such a pillock.

    Less posh?! Christ. Trust me, I don’t sound like that really. At least I don’t think so. I was desperately trying to form sentences in the correct order…anyway, next time I’ll be a bit more relaxed (assuming there is a next time) and will sound more like me. As one person emailing commentary at Cricinfo said, I’m a cross between Tony Greig and a chav (or something like that). Anyway…

    Good work Will! And I like the way they (and you) kept on referring to it as the Corridor of Uncertainty. Bravo!

    Hope there are plenty more to come.

    It’s always alarming when you hear yourself on TV/radio or any electronic item like a dictaphone. I thought it was a pretty good interview, at least it wasn’t live at 2 in the morning!

    Very erudite. Well worth a listen. I agree with Nick, it was great to hear about the Corridor ‘of Uncertainty’. Makes it sound less like a reality show about home renovation.
