There were lots of other potential contestants there that day. I recall that there were probably about 40 people. I don't know if this was the only such day of this type, but I expect that I met a number of the other contestants there that day without realizing. My feeling was the day at Corsham was great fun and if we didn't get any further, then it would have been worth it anyway. The director of Interceptor, Colin Fay was at Corsham - although I didn't know who he was then. On the 5th April, Chatsworth sent us a letter saying that we had got to the final interview - a half-hour meeting with Malcolm Heyworth and Angela Breheny in the Dean Street Office, London. There was still a chance to blow it!! On the day, 11th April, I guess we were being prepared for our brief life in the world of Television |
recording. We had to wait ages, with lots of things going on around us, and then suddenly we were in, and it was over in a flash. Our brief meeting with the producers was over quickly and I was just struck by how nice and pleasant they both were. I had built up in mind that they were going to be nasty aggressive people, but they were just nice people who wanted to make their own judgment that we were OK for the show. Finally, we knew we were going to be on
Interceptor, but we still didn't really know what it would be all about - no one had told us much about the format or about what we might have to do. We didn't know where or when the programme would be recorded. Chatsworth were still deciding on the running order and which contestants were to be on each programme.
