Time This, Tomorrow
February 26, 2008
Confirmation today I’m to be in the audience of This Time Tomorrow, a BBC quiz pilot and blatant Don’t Forget Your Toothbrush clone. Audience members are selected at ‘random’ and quizzed. The sting is the prize is a holiday and you have to leave in the morning. This is the pilot, won’t be shown on TV (they say). Prizes are stated as holidays, but are in fact cash. No word on the actual amount, thousands were suggested by the BBC researcher calling possible contestants, this being the BBC (one suspects BBC3, but not certain) it’ll be £15 and custard cream.
This gaudy nonsense counterbalances, somewhat, a recent bereavement of someone I cared for greatly. I knew him for a couple of years and was a good man; intelligent, wise and compassionate. I cared for and respected him greatly and am sad to hear he has gone.
