On our holiday in Wales in the 80s...

Posters all over the place saying the show "that's life" will be recording on the beach later that day. So of course we headed down there keen to get in on the action.

Got to the beach, loads of free toys everywhere. Camera men urging us to go and splash around in the sea.

All excited we settled down later after tipping off everyone at home to record it for us. First line was something like "welcome to the that's life beach pollution special. We're here at one of the most polluted beaches in the UK, full of families playing unaware of the dangers"
 
I was supposed to appear on the Wide Awake Club with Timmy Mallet and Tommy Boyd and some other nubile young presenter, but I was involved in an off screen incident involving a bottle of Orangina which resulted in me and a girl from Hull being replaced at the last minute.

I'm still absolutely fuming.

Michaela Strachan? I think she still remembers it fondly.
