Pointless The Mini Game Review

Pointless the mini-game is a portable travel edition that is easy to pack for travel this Easter half term. Having a family travel game in-hand is a great alternative than just a deck of playing cards. It is an excellent way to pass the time and learn general knowledge at the same time!

Mr K is on BBC1 Doctors!

A few months ago, I posted that Mr K is starring in BBC1 Doctors. It was aired this afternoon and I was excited for him! I was very pleased that he looked so natural on TV. We were all ready and sat in front of the TV. When it was on, Mr K was so embarrassed that he ran off. He is too shy and self-conscious to see himself on TV.

Final Day for BBC Doctors at Birmingham University

I can not believe today is his last day of shooting BBC Doctors. It has gone so quick. Today, he had only 3 scenes all shot on location at Birmingham University. The BBC team started late but it didn’t take them too long to set up the scene. It was quite a quick in and out of the door. Mr K was so distracted looking at the furry microphone that our chaperone had to keep asking him to look down.

Soon after we were all invited to have lunch over the canteen in the university itself. The food was not the best looking food at all. I had fish and chips but it tasted like cardboard fish while Mr K had a chicken kebab. It looked good but it was too dry. It was not the best but we can’t complain as it was provided by the BBC.

Second Day of Shooting BBC Doctors

Today, we went to another new location which is the main studio where they film Doctors. It was quite easy to find the place but going to Birmingham is always a nightmare for me! When I turned into the car park, it was filled with ambulance, police cars and vans. Hmm…. I told to myself, did I just drive myself to the Police station. So I came out of the car and had a quick look and saw a sign “Acting car, please do not block”. Right, I am in BBC studios and this is not a real Police station.

When we reached there, we were shown the dressing room and I was quite shocked to see Mr K had his own dressing room. Hooray! It even had his screen name on the door.
