As you can probably imagine all of us had better things to do than pay for ourselves to fly to California to be on a tv show. To be fair James & me mulled it over for about 5 minutes but decided it would be crap without the others...and we were right!
For the record, I underwent a similarly short night of the soul on the matter. People should try to avoid being on TV unless they can figure out no way of avoiding the chore. A phone call at 4pm the day before a dimly mooted TV show in CA in which the entire conversation goes like this is not conducive to changes of plans, for example.
MAN A: (summoning up the remains of what may once have seemed like a good idea at the time, before it fatally began to lack nourishment and, therefore, momementum): So, that's a NO from you on Rollins too then, is it?
MAN B: (summoning up all dimly mooted elements and placing them neatly into a hotel wastepaper basket of the mind, while checking once again the airline itinerary for tomorrow's departure time for luscious, lovely San Antonio): Yes, that's a NO.
