[Steve Underhill]

No mate, the tats will be inside a hoodie its freezing.

[Jill Marie Welsh]

Let’s hope he’s not one of those
"Can I see it in Green?"
"Can you try that in a different font?"
"Can you print me out a sketch to show my wife?"
"You can’t be serious, you want $100 for that sign?"
type clients. That would be hilarious to catch on film.
Congrats Steve and enjoy, remember to stand up straight and not say "umm" a lot, or stare at the camera.
Love….Jill

[Phill Fenton]

Well done Steve 😀

What’s the program called, and when will it be broadcast?

[Steve Underhill]

I have several A4 designs printed (all with the company name and number on lol), ready for him to see, and the designs will be up on screen too so he can change the colour etc if he needs to, its not live so can do several takes …. phew.
unlike my radio appearance……… :lol1:

[Aaron Powell]

just hope they don’t fade out your name and number on the shirts mate

Good luck thou

[Steve Underhill]

They’ll have to do a lot of fading.
the shop sign, the T shirts the hoodie I’m wearing, the mug I strategically placed, the sign inside, the edge lit in the window, the bar runner on the table and the swing sign outside LOL
if they blur all those theres going to be no programme.
:lol1:

[Aaron Powell]

Have you got crimbo decorations up lol

[Steve Underhill]

I think the name of the show is called from house to hotel or something similar Phil, apparently to be screened in January on prime time BBC, not bad.

[Steve Underhill]

yes all deco’s up.
plus disco light, laserpods and strobe.
lol :lol1:

[Aaron Powell]

Don’t forget ""DON’T PICK YOUR NOSE"" 😛 :lol1:

[Steve Underhill]

Its lucky you’re here
id have started nose mining on national TV else, :lol1:

[David Rowland]

Steve, is this for spotlight in a mo?

[Steve Underhill]

No mate
just finished now.
Its going to be screened in January, on BBC1 I printed out like 12 designs, some good some bad for illustration IE what can be seen from a distance, colour clashes etc, in the end nobody looked at those, and we ended up doing it on screen in real time.

Picture this
mint/apple green main sign, (Ali composite), with black border, with no rounded edges
Ill have to find a powder coater to do this as probably not going to get a vinyl to suit, its a very odd colour
utopia bold text with a small contour to make the letters bolder.
all black text
🙂

[Steve Underhill]

They also want it powder coated, and up by a week today,
LOL

[David Rowland]

better get the powder coaters ordering that special ral colour then

[Harry Cleary]

Nice one Steve, we were in a BBC programme about 12 yrs ago http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=3zkclvikdg0 and I got an email from a friend in Autrailia about 3mts ago saying he’d just been watching it! It did generate a lot of work though. Word of advice….don’t do these things a few weeks after a charity headshave! 😀 😀

[Nicola McIntosh]

‘noice one harry noice one son, noice one harry lets have another one’ :lol1:

well that was a great video harry, you and your wife look very good together and "connected" some lovely stuff youve both done, well done to you both and……oh my god you look so wee (must be the cameras) 😀 😉

nik

[Harry Cleary]

Oi you!!! 😮 😮 😀

[Phill Fenton]

Nice one Harry.

I was on telly once. It was about 9 or 10 years ago. A butcher in B’oness won the "pie maker of the year" award and he contacted me to put signs on his window to announce the fact to all his customers. While I was there fitting the lettering a TV news crew turned up to interview him and they filmed him while I was in the background fitting the lettering.

It was on the Scottish news that evening and even though I was only visible for all of about 5 seconds in the short news item, I was amazed at the number of customers of mine who saw it and recognised me.

I’ve got it on video somewhere 😳

[Marcella Ross]

:lol1: nice haircut Harry! Nice wee snippet though.

[Steve Underhill]

quote Phill:

I’ve got it on video somewhere 😳

So you wont be watching it ever again then….. :lol1:

[David Rowland]

wa hay Harry…. i know this place around birmingham that could do with some characters putting on the walls 🙄

[John Singh]

Will be watching out for that one in January Steve
No doubt you’ll keep us informed as to when it will be shown as I can no longer afford to keep the tv on 24/7 with the price of electricity

Hey Harry that was a great video

I was on tv once
I was picking up a truck engine in my flat back truck at Bedford Motors in Luton/Dunstable and was met by an crowd of strikers waving their fists and hurling abuse, telling me to go away! Then they told me to ‘hang on a minute’
Yes! The TV crews wanted to get a shot on camera so we did it all again

I couldn’t stop laughing though
I was on the local news the next day

Fame at last

[Steve Underhill]

I think its on january sometime, its a prime time show on BBC1 called home to hotel I think,Ill ask saturday when I measure up,
(yes it was done in this order)

You may see my shock/horror at the colour change from white dibond with rounded corners, expensive fonts, light blue text, and a small black contour to emphasise the letters,to…..

Mint/apple green flood or powder coat. black vinyl border, square corners and utopia black (not a bad font but wasted here)

Customer was happy and that’s all I care about,
but to have to do that on national prime time TV was painful.

Re do a sign I spent a whole day doing about 12 designs for,then to have to spend 5 minutes doing something totally different was quite painful.

I had designed fora 3000mm x 800mm high sign that was to be
"visible from across the river" they asked how much flood coating would be I said £100 for that size, ok they said then asked what size, I pointed to it on my wall all ready to be written up.

"Oh, I wanted one about 6 feet across"
(but visible from 200 yards away by the way)
So forgive me when you see me none of it was my fault, the lady wanted a modern/contemporary looking sign and basically designed it herself with me colouring stuff in and typing LOL
so no hate mail when its shown please

:lol1:

[Chris Wool]

so when i walk past your shop with me bag of chips all i am going to see is

" AS SEEN ON TV" plastered across the window.

hope it works for you as i would have run a mile 😀

[Harry Cleary]

Did they make you sign 20 forms Steve and pay you?

[Lynn Normington]

did you get paid Harry ?? watched it by the way impressed 😎

Lynn

[Steve Underhill]

I wouldn’t cheapen myself
all my window will say is

Look out for the dodgy guy with a bag of chips and woolly hat

But he makes great stickers :lol1:

[Harry Cleary]

We were paid 300 sterling (for a morning’s filming) and I think it was 12 years ago, we also had to sign waivers to rights in a shedload of countries.

[Steve Underhill]

All i signed was a consent to film me form, no payment,and after they see the bloody sign I’m not expecting any "seen you on TV trade" either LOL
well maybe but its not what I would have made

[Harry Cleary]

The difference was probably that it was a private company selling their production to the BBC…….know what you mean about ‘what you would have made Steve……my painting was crap back then 😀 😀 some of it is cringeworthy 😳 😳

[Steve Underhill]

Oh my stuff isnt bad, its just that the design they chose was compared to what got overlooked lol
:lol1:
