Well, I have highly embarrassing news.
Yesterday Duncan and I were wandering around York minding our own business when some youngsters from Channel 4 came over. Apparently they were doing a slot to go on Richard and Judy about some new show called Heroes (which I believe my good buddy Paul blogged about recently) and they were asking members of the general public questions. One question really: ‘If you could have any superhero powers, what would they be and why?’
Now, you’d think to two slightly geeky 20-somethings with a bit of knowledge about these things we’d have come up with witty, highly intelligent answers which would endear us to the nation and lead not only to fame a fortune but hopefully our own TV show. Sadly, no.
Our answers were as follows:
Duncan - ‘I’d probably be able to fly so I could fly around the world (unnecessary hand gesture) and turn back time like Superman.’
Jennie - ‘I’d probably be invisible so I could sneak around places, like locker rooms and also steal things.’
No word of a lie. I told the general population that if I could do anything in the world it would be to spy on naked men and steal things from shops. The worst thing about it is that was a complete fabrication - if I could have any power I’d have the power to change my appearance at will.
So, if you fancy a laugh you should most definitely tune in to Richard and Judy tomorrow at 5. I’m so mortified.
Diagnosis Murder today is about a man going around killing clowns. I think TV is getting weirder.
