1 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation. 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 2: You know, when it comes to TV and you you 3 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 2: are the OG, and TV is a very hard thing 4 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,559 Speaker 2: to do. Lord knows, I've tried, but it is very hard. 5 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 2: And that's why when they go into the streets and 6 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,800 Speaker 2: they get Johnny Punter to say something into the camera, 7 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 2: invariably just goes. 8 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: And that's why reality TV does well because no one 9 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: has to be any good at it. You just. 10 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 2: And that's it. But there is a craft to TV. 11 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 2: It's about remembering what you have to say, deliver it 12 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 2: to the camera, looking presentable and looking comfortable. So your 13 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 2: husband Harley, while he was looking at the Bisonennial table, 14 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,479 Speaker 2: that's that table that he put away to. 15 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 1: Restore, you know, yeah by centennial. How many years ago 16 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: was that? Now that was in the eighties, some years ago. 17 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 2: Anyway, he found a stack of VHS tapes of you 18 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 2: and he said them to you from beyond two thousand. Well, 19 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 2: he just said, you've got the technology there at work 20 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 2: and plenty of time to goof off. So we've un 21 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 2: to a series of tastes. But this one here is 22 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 2: nineteen eighty five and it's beyond two thousand. It's you 23 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 2: being introduced to the audience in. 24 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,119 Speaker 1: The studio segment, A studio segment, studio.

I think 26 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: I probably had my hair and makeup done, but I 27 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: would have worn my own clothes. 28 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 2: Well, let's wag it in the old JVC and this 29 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 2: is you. 30 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 3: They have read that the Beyond two thousand team is expanding.

Oh yes, it's 39 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: found to happen. 40 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 2: But I thought for my first trip I had taken 41 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 2: the tropical Far North. Wow. Wow, the tropical far North. 42 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 2: What a beautiful place. 43 00:01:58,400 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: What was the story? 44 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 2: What was it? 45 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 3: A giant alga farm? In the idea is to similar right. 46 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: It was crashing over algae covered rocks, which is how 47 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: the system works on the natural rim that that was 48 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: the first of many Alga farms I covered. Listen to 49 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: how Posche sounded, and I sound so composed, but I 50 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: would have been absolutely terrified. 51 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and because you as you admitted. The audition 52 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 2: for that show, well. 53 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: The audition was we had to come up with our 54 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 1: own stories. And I was terrified because I was never 55 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: a science person. But I was asked, I guess to 56 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: be the audience. 57 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 2: You're not a science person. 58 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: Our job was to be the audience's representative for these 59 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: scientific breakthroughs. So it didn't matter that I was a dumbo. 60 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: But the audition, we had to find our own stories. 61 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: And my cousin was working at university. He was a 62 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: university student with a lecturer who had his own single 63 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: person submersible. So we thought, all right, how about I 64 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: do this? And I was so terrified and so non TV. 65 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: I've been working as a producer before then, a semi 66 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: producer at the midday show, so I didn't have much 67 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: television next experience, and so I had to go into 68 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: this submersible and I thought, well, how about we opened 69 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: the hatch and the professor came in with me. It's 70 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: a one person one but I couldn't be in there 71 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,239 Speaker 1: on my own, so he was crouched down. He was 72 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: crouching down underneath me. I want to open up the 73 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: hatch and say things like, thanks to submersibles like this, 74 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: we can monitor the pollution all on the coast, so 75 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: we'll never have pollution anymore. 76 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 2: You know, one of those, Yeah, of course. 77 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: So, but we'd spent the day bobbing around, bobbing around, 78 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: you know what I'm like on the water. Yeah. So 79 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: I opened the hatch and just did a giant vomit 80 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: in Waldeck, and the cameraman, to his credit, a lovely 81 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: man who's no longer with us, buttoned off. 82 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 2: Are you chucking up? 83 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: He buttoned off while I chucked up? 84 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 2: And then that's technical terms, by the way, switch for 85 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 2: switching off the camera. 86 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: Yes, and I these days they'd film that and that'd 87 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: be all over the internet. So I'm glad you Here'd 88 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: be a show and I wouldn't even get to You 89 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: wouldn't get to host it either. When I got the job, 90 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 1: they said, I got the job, but they wanted to 91 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: change my hair and my clothes. I said, so I spewed, 92 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: and you weren't happy with my hair and my clothes 93 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: and how did. 94 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 2: I get that job? Simultaneously while spewing. 95 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: Oh, I forgot. Okay, So while I was spewing, because 96 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: I wasn't feeling well in that small, submersiful submersible, I 97 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: was nervous. My guts were all a kimbo. 98 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 2: They just get to it. You're farted in the professor, 99 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 2: the poor professor's face. 100 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 1: He was holding my ankles underneath me, and he must 101 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: have thought, you know what, why did I get up 102 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: this morning?
