swampster Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I'm filming a TV pilot for a new game show (cross between poker and Scrabble !) on Thursday 20th July down in Malvern in Worcestershire. They've had a couple of people drop out so they've asked me to hunt around for any interested parties (preferably people into word games as well as Poker). They'll pay £250 each for the day plus expenses and put us up in a hotel the night before. Should be a giggle. I'm a definite. Anyone fancy coming along ? PM me and I'll send you the TV producer's email address. Jon I might bring some chips down too so we can have a sneaky tourney while we're there :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He writes the "Trash Talk" column in Poker Player which is usually towards the last page of the mag and I think he`s done some commentary alongside Jesse May on the odd poker program.
