National Lottery Winning Lines -  On Saturday June 19th 1999 I appeared on The National Lottery Gameshow on BBC1, with Simon Mayo.

Round The World Trip

Where, after several gruelling rounds of numerous, inane Trivia questions, I won a 3 week "Round the World Trip" for 2 people including £1000 spending money. (The first to win it!)
