It amazes me that someone has picked my clip as the clip to entice people in to watching the programme.

My mom loved it.

That penny flipping gamble. Is there a name for it, as it's proving difficult to Google, and I love reading about cons and scams.

Ahem... I'm actually from Dudley. We don't like being called brummies but you're right. It is acceptable around here.

That's true. When brummies get lost and ask where they are in the black country they often get confused and think they're in a massive Chinese restaurant.

Just turned the TV on and saw the end of the pies.

It better have read "The Vision: Himself"

TheVision · **Posted:** Tue Apr 28, 2015 22:32

I certainly didn't expect that.

That was ace! My phone hasn't stopped buzzing all night.

I can't remember if you've already told us, but how did you get the gig?

TheVision · **Posted:** Tue Apr 28, 2015 22:47

I work for the local council and the production team came to us asking if we could do a press release as they were looking for extras to star in it. We couldn't do the release (some silly rules) but I saw the email and responded saying that I would be happy to help out. A couple of my colleagues did the same too but they didn't speak in the programme.

I sent over a selfie to the casting producer and she called me back saying she loved the beard and had the perfect part for me... If I was up for it. Who wouldn't be? A couple of the crew skyped me that evening and talked me through what they wanted me to do. I only live down the road from where it was filmed so it was a no brainer... and I also got paid!

It was a long day though. I think I got there at about 6am and didn't leave until way past 11pm. It rained most of the day too. They did look after us though with plenty of food and drinks and everyone there was lovely so even though there was a lot of hanging about, it didn't drag.

Sorry Russ, I've just seen this. I had a bit of trouble Googling it too. It wasn't much of a scam really, what you saw in the programme was basically what went on. The pies weren't up to much in those days though so I can't begin to imagine what the meat was.

The pies I had on the programme were actually pasties. The production crew had a great idea to order the pies from London and have them couriered up to Dudley. Unfortunately, the courier left without the pies so they had to get the Black Country Museums kitchen staff to make the pies. The best they could do was pasties.

They were nice though.

Brilliant.

I've grabbed it from Iplayer - its 654 mb in size (as an MP4) - any suggestions for where to upload it ?

I have a crappy upload speed so it will take a while but if someone wants to suggest a share place to put it or i can probably chunk it down to smaller parts and upload it here

I'm going to try Mediafire (since i've had other video files shared there) to see if that will work - it estimates the upload at around 4 hours

TheVision · **Posted:** Tue Apr 28, 2015 23:41

Do you use dropbox or onedrive? You could upload it to one of those and share it easily enough.

Thanks for ripping it for me! It's very kind of you.

Grim... · **Posted:** Wed Apr 29, 2015 0:42

You should be able to upload it here.

Might be worth throwing it through Handbrake to reduce the file size of you have a slow upload, though.

Here would someone be able to grab this off the iPlayer and upload it somewhere so I can watch it. It's the BBC giving my parents a new garden.

I can grab it for you.

Do you have a preferred method of delivery?

LewieP · **Joined:** 29th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 7600

Much appreciated. Could you get it on http://vidbull.com/ so I can stream it if i get a good enough connection, or download it if not.

Edit: Wait I meant vidbull

It's too big for vidbull, being as it's 400 odd mega-boobies.

Wetransfer? PM your email address?

Or, would Grim... mind it being uploaded here, temporarily?

Dropbox surely? It even gives a streaming option for video by default.

Whichever solution is most convenient for you will do, really.
