    I was on ITV Anglia news when i was in year 6 because the head teacher of my primary school banned hot cross buns. They asked me if I liked hot cross buns and I just said 'they're alright'
    I was on the news again when a girl in my high school had a heart transplant in year 10.

    I auditioned and nearly got onto the CBBC show Raven. However, getting in would have reduced my already low street cred even further.

    Someone from my school was in a documentary on bbc three at the start of the year called 'coming out diaries' which followed him through his life as a transsexual.

    I was on BBC midlands news talking about our primary school play. My friends brother also got through to the final of BGT, the year that Susan Boyle was on it.

    Someone I went to school with is going to be on the current series of Britain's got talent.
    Someone I knew from college was in the audience for Jeremy Kyle.
    Someone I went to uni with was in the background of an episode of antiques roadshow.
    please let it be this guy

    I used to live in Greece and when I was about 4 we got snowed in (it was the worst snowstorm for 20 years apparently) so the news teams came over to everyone's house and they asked me a bunch of questions, and in the end it got prime time on the biggest TV network in the country (EI1) :P

    I fell over on a dry ski slope on local news. That was good. And I was in the local paper when I was six because they needed a picture of a child at the new museum exhibit. :rolleyes:

    basically have you or someone you know(whether that be a friend , or someone from school or college) or a family member ever appeared on TV or appeared in a newspaper. also has your school or college ever featured on the news?

    when my brother was getting in GCSE results , he was shown for about 5 seconds on Granda Reports

    a footballer called Ivan Klansic came to visit my school to talk to the pupils(i had left by this time) and that was featured on Granda Reports.
    Just after he died my mum and brother were watching a repeat of the Two Ronnies and saw my dad playing his trumpet. He never told us he was in an episode of the Two Ronnies.

    Re: have you or someone you know ever been on TV
    I've been in local newspapers a few times - once for being part of 3 sets of twins in the same year,
    - once for our cat coming first in a pet competition (he had the loudest purr),
    - once for taking part in an interior design competition with the 60 minute makeover guy

    TV wise, my aunty has been on BBC news to promote one of her plays she was in,
    My school has featured on BBC news, although not for a good reason (we had a hammer attack when i was in year 7 and i saw everything, still remember it now)
