STOP TREATING ME LIKE A KID

Just a further update on the tv show being filmed in Colyton (see post below).

The show has a working title of "Stop Treating Me Like A Kid" (although some reports suggest a poorer title of "Summer School", is being made by the people behind Wife Swap and Rock School apparently! It's due to be broadcast on e4 in October this year!!

They're filming in Colyton for 6 weeks, and are due to leave on Saturday 2nd September!

We had a brief chat to one of the kids last night, which was entertaining!

Other news on the show includes that...

-The kids aren't allowed a tv or phone or anything like that
-They do have a pool room though
-They're not allowed to go any further than 20minutes from the house
-They each have a chaperone to follow them round with a camera
-The owners of the house are rumoured to have been paid £30,000 for the use of the premises, and have gone on holiday for the summer, in a 5-star American hotel, aswell as paying for their furniture to be put in storage.

Keep your eyes pealed for many cameos from familiar faces, most of which look set to come from Stephen thus far!!

October 2006: Stop Treating Me Like A kid, e4

WATCH THIS SPACE

Well the most random thing to hit East Devon since Andrea, the amazing disappearing woman, has occured this week.

On Sunday (23rd), a film crew recording a reality television show for e4 in Colyton, moved in and began filming!!!!
Honest to god, me and Steve spent the last week not believing it, but it is now official!!

It's a show about 8 city kids, aged 16, who are moving into a house together, and have to "make it on their own". They have to get jobs and pay the bills etc during their stay to see just how independant they are!
Apparently the kids move in to the house tomorrow (Wednesday 26th).

It will be shown on e4 at some stage in the future, with a view to broadcasting it on Channel 4 sometime afterwards.

I successfully managed a cameo "walk through" earlier today, so look out for me when its on!! hehe.

e4 is on Freeview Ch.14, Sky Ch.140 and Cable


In the distance, you'll see the camera crew in Spar


The camera crew filming from opposite the post office. This is just before I did my cameo "walk-through"!!

WHAT NOT TO DO ON A NIGHT OUT!!

So, think of all the things youve ever done on a night out. Everyones done at least a few slightly ridiculous things after a few drinks. Allan's walked into a car, Philip's tried unlocking a door with a tin opener, I've walked around the most dangerous area of Southampton by myself etc etc.
I think it's safe to say Stephen has now successfully set a new benchmark.

Let me fill you in on the weekend...

It kicked off with the discovery that Allan was up for the weekend and staying at mine (a fact I only found out after he'd left Torquay!!).
So once he arrived, we got dragged to Seaton, to the arcade, by Becky, to watch poor Al throw away a tenner on the machines! But straight after that we came back to the pub!!
To kick off with, we successfully won a random tenner between us on Cluedo on the quiz machine!!! :D
After a few beers and banter, we pottered to Adams (me rather reluctantly admittedly) for a game of "Futuristic Risk" at about 11.30, which would only take "a couple of hours- seriously".
We had Adam drunkenly trying to prop up his dettached living room door, me and Steve texting each other comedy insults from 2 metres across the room, and EVERYONE getting floor wax on their jeans!
To top it off, I ended up getting bored, nodding off occasionally, and eventually going home at 3.30AM!!! Some FOUR hours after starting!!!

Saturday went better though, with a trip to the beach for a barbeque!!! Me, Allan, Becky, Megan (Beckys little sister), and Pippa (and later, Ed). Good chuckle, even if we couldnt cut the sausages! hehe.
Then came the night out...
walk down went well and was excellent as ever! Including Steve announcing to the whole of Seaton, via a traffic cone, that Allan loved the bottom (or something very similar!!).
The pub was all good, having a chinwag with everyone, drinking trebles(!) etc etc.
Then to the Grove...

All was going well until Becky had a few too many drinks, and ended up being found outside vomiting, so Allan had to go home with her in Lucie's car, with Pippa etc.
However, earlier in the evening, Steve had successfully managed to get himself BANNED FOR LIFE from The Grove, for allegedly throwing a GLASS at a BOUNCER!!!!!!!!

And to top it all off, it seems he may have punched someone too, and could well have broken a couple of bones in his hand (which is currently twice its normal size as a result!!)

NIGHTMARE!!!
