  1. Last week Kris Kremo was in The Slammer with juggling,
    tommorow (fri, 3 nov 2006) I will be in The Slammer with freestyle
    unicycling at a tight stage.
    It will be at BBC1 at 16:55 CET.

    I'm very curious to the end-result of the only 2:30" long item. As 150
    seconds is pretty short, and the BBC was very cooperative and into
    making quality, we recorded it in a nice way that editing would be
    pssible for them. And so I've used more studio-time, and hopefully a it
    became flashy item.

    If anyone can record it (especially to avi or mpeg) please do so!
    I don't have a VRC (not even a TV), plus I have another performance at
    that same time.

  2. Hey Leo, will look out for that. Good to see someone doing something in
    the mainstream to promote our sport, personally I think you're a legend
    and I support most of what you are suggesting e.g. a change to the IUF
    etc.
    I'll try and record it onto DVD but I'm unsure how easy it would be to
    get that onto the computer.

  3. Cool, I thought it would be a longer wait between filming and the
    programme being broadcast. I'll try to record it too!

  6. This is what tvtv.co.uk says about this episode

    Quoted message said:

    The Slammer

    Entertainment show in which a group of comedians enter a mock prison.
    Each programme sees four of the acts perform for their freedom in front
    of a live studio audience. A showbiz agent breaks into The Slammer,
    much to the annoyance of Burgess and the Governor. Also, performing for
    freedom will be McFly, Physical Jerks, Leo the Unicyclist and Bruce
    Airhead. But who will be released?

    The Slammer - Entertainment Friday, 03.11.2006
    Start Time: 16.55 End Time: 17.25 Duration in Mins: 30

    I’ve never seen the programme before but I’ve set Sky+ to record it 😄

  7. I can record it on to my computer in mpeg for you, trouble is if i
    record the whole show it will be enormous (~900mb for half an hour)
    I'll try and be in so i can record just your section.

    EDIT: The 'BBC' (http://tinyurl.com/y67qqe) doesn't have anything in
    its listings about this show, have I misunderstood somehow?

    Wow, thanks for the compliment. Maybe you can simply copy the DVD?
    Otherwise I can give you a FTP login so you can upload the huge file
    (which will may hours, but hopefully you have broadband).

    Yes me to, I rather would have announced it some more in advance. So
    more unicyclist would have been prepared.

    Although it was in a art-alike setting, I made sure -with above goal in
    mind- I had no circus-alike costume or music but my "trademark" costume
    and simply The Prodigy or Chemical Brothers.
    I'm sure the UK will get at least 1 new unicyclist: man, 1 of these
    kids was looking to me totally stunned (and amazed) like if I was a
    ghost. I bet we'll meet that guy on a unicycle-convention within 10
    years!

    Thanks. The 1st episode had 1 million viewings(!). They had a lot of
    positive reviews, and so they expect this one to have about 2.500.000
    viewers(!!!). So yes, shame there was no space to mention the UUU. They
    may get there anyway. I have'nt been performing for such an excited
    crowd much often before. So luckaly for you the screaming will be
    sound-processed once you see it. But they were enthousiast!

    Please do so. Having it digital on the fly would be nice. They already
    promised me a DVD (and BBC keeps promises much better than any other TV
    channel I've ever worked with). But I don't know wether that will be in
    the undesired .vob or the preferable edit'able .avi format. So better
    be save than sorry. Unfortunly I don't know the order of performing. I
    was'nt 1st or last, so must have been 2nd or 3th. Still; while cutting
    they could have made any order they want. Also I think it may be
    repeated on other BBC channels and even on other broadcasters later
    this weekend and following week. But I have no idea when/where
    exactly.

    I also noticed that to!
    But today they e-mailed me and told me it was tommorow.
    (just like http://www.tvtv.co.uk/ sais).

    Everyone who's standby recording: thanks! And everybody else just
    watching thanks to.
    I'm looking forward for your responses, feedback and critics.
    Although I'm curious about the end-result myself to, I think I may
    promise you wont be disapointed. But we'll see tommorow.

    It's actually on 'CBBC' (http://tinyurl.com/ynewkm) not BBC1. I think
    tvtv has possibly got a bit mixed up but my Sky+ is set to record that
    episode of The Slammer anyway.

    Leo: I can transcode to any format and upload 🙂

    All the other episode were on BBC1, and 'Dutch TV pages also say it's
    on BBC1' (http://tinyurl.com/y6w9ww) on 16:55 (as times are displayed
    on that page as CET+1).
    But CBBC sounds as a safe choise anyway.

  11. My electonic guide on Freeview says it is CBBC, Radio Times website say
    BBC1. Fortunately my PVR can record two things at once 🙂

    Apparently my kids watch it, but they are always switching between CBBC
    & BBC1 so that doesn't help.

  13. CBBC is BBC1, its just the childrens tv timeslot i think. my tv pages
    say in the BBC1 column that from 3.25 to 5.35 it is CBBC, and in this
    it shows The Slammer. Will definately try to watch it!

    I recorded a couple of programmes last month after it was announced on
    rec.juggling that Kris Kremo would be on (as mentioned by Leo). It's
    quite an enjoyable show.

    You should be able to find the Kris Kremo clip at

  18. I was in the kitchen cooking tea when I turned the TV on and caught the
    last 20 seconds of your act.
    I think it was outrageous that McFly had a better score than you.
    All they did was jump around and sing!
    Youngsters today just do not recognise talent when they see it.

    😄

    Yes but hardly surprising given music industry publicity machine. My
    kids (7&9), who were confused why I had recorded the program until Leo
    appeared, asked if McFly were miming. I've trained them well 😄 (I have
    no idea if they actually sang as I hit the fast forward for their
    section).

    It was an interesting program and a good way to get kids watching
    variety acts in prime time kids TV. Obviously we didn't agree with the
    scoring 😄 also great to see the balloon routine again, I've seen it
    live, outdoors, at a Christmas Fete last year on a very cold day...

    Even though I knew the result (Leo told us at Lunis) I kept the
    suspense for the kids.

    Tonight was a typical night in my local pub, and I was talking to an
    elderly couple. They said "we saw TV this eveing and though of you..."
    so I guessed exactly what they were talking about!

    They asked the obvious question if I knew you, expecting me to say no,
    there are so many uincyclists about, but I had to say that I was
    playing hockey with you a couple of hours after filming and was
    chatting on the tube on the way home!

    So, thanks to you, I'm even more of a minor-celebrity in my local :-)

    STM

    (Oh, and they were gutted you was beaten by McFly too, although thought
    the balloon guy was really good as well)
