He sets straight out towards Aberdeen city, unprepared for the nightmare that unfolds during his journey. Everyone seems to want to kill him.

Contestant on Game Shows

The disadvantage of being a contestant on game shows is that you have to be confident in public speaking in front of cameras and a large studio audience. There is the risk of being asked a really simple question and giving a daft answer! Remember the contestant on Family Fortunes who when asked to name a part of the body beginning with n said knee! Practice answering questions at home with friends and watch as many of the programmes you are to appear on.

The advantages when you be on a game show is that you get 15 minutes of fame and get to meet famous people like Noel Edmunds, Nick Knowles, Ben Shephard, Joe Pesquale, Anne Robinson or Chris Tarrant. There is the real chance of winning cash prizes, cars or holidays.
