Slightly surreal experience last night

Went to London Studios to the filming of &quot;An audience with Al Murray&quot;. It's the TV format where most of the audience is made up of d-list stars but there's also a section for the general public. Strangely, the wife and I got put in with the 'stars', so we ended up sitting next to Ian Mckaskill and his wife and Johnny Ball.</p>

Unfortunately the seat next to Abi Titmuss was already taken.</p>

 

We can all look out for you when it's on

Did you get the VIP treatment as well? Is Al Murray good live - always wanted to get tickets </p>

 

You should see me on the box I think

At one point Al says - &quot;and Ladies and Gentlemen, we have Johnny Ball in the audience!&quot; and then he plays a few gags off him. I'm the scruffy one in the glasses and blue top just behind. I'd spent the afternoon painting my flat and didn't have any idea I might be on telly, so didn't really smarten meself up!</p>

Ididn't know too much about Al Murray before going, but during the bits when they weren't filming he really kept the banter going - he was really good, definitely worth seeing. He gave Edwina Currie and the horse-racing bloke (Mckrewik?) a bit of a slating, as well as the BB girls, Jodie Marsh and the like.</p>
