On my bucket list has always been to go on a game show. I have never been very good at quizzes and don't have any specialist subject knowledge to speak of, but I can spot a pattern and apply logic. So after 3 applications to go on the show, I finally got the call that I had made the cut and secured a place on the show! In June this year, I traveled up to Manchester and spent a fabulous Saturday at the studios with 99 other contestants filming the show. It is true to say that it was a LOT harder being in the studio than answering questions whilst sitting on the sofa. The pressure of trying to take in the content of the question was at times overwhelming, especially when there were a lot of words to read, and those 30 seconds go so quickly. There are no secret extra seconds, no opportunity to change your answer, and if you haven't locked your answer in at the end of the time, that's on you, and you are probably out. I went out on 15% - it was a hard question, I just couldn't get my head around it at the time, but it seems obvious now (of course). Ironically, I got the answer right to all the rest of the questions, including the final 1% question, but it was easier once the pressure was no longer there and I could answer without fear of getting it wrong.  The best part for me was being spoken to by the host, Lee Mack, which even made the final show, and I got to mention our little business, which makes me super proud! I may not have made it into the 1% Club but I did make it onto the TV and for me that was a win! If you didn't get to see the show, it is episode 3 of the latest series on itvx.
