Bristol Street Poker - The TV Show!
Hi everyone! Long time no chat!
I've been recently approached by a Producer at Roger's TV asking if I'd like to put together a poker show for our local community TV!
Obviously, I said YES!
The format is still in discussion, but it will be something like 10 episodes of hold'em with a "finale" final game. We're thinking 8-12 players, playing a few 4 player SnG's, with a double-sized finale based on points.
So, now we need to cast! I thought I'd come back here to gauge interest and see if anyone would like to be considered for the show. I'll be reaching out to a few people, but I really would like to see if there's anyone out there that would be interested.
Here are the details...
- You'd need to be available the week of July 13. (Tentative schedule is, production/set-up on the Monday, filming Tues->Thurs (from ~6pm to midnight), and then possibly Friday for the finale/interviews/extra scenes etc. (though, we may try to film all poker from Tues to Thus)
- Obviously, there will be no money on the line, and no prizes, but we will crown a Champion and, if there's a second season, those at the final table will be automatically invited.
- There's also the whole "playing poker on TV thing"!
- This is an experiment, but I'm extremely excited to give it a try and I'm looking for some fun people to entertain the masses.
If you're at all interested, please feel free to respond here and I'll get in touch!
(And, yes, this is real, and not another "Legends of Bristol Street" thing.)
If you have any question, I'm also happy to ask.

Shouldn't you have to play more than a hand an hour to be entertaining ?

Yes. We'll be using GoPro's connected into the studio system. Plan is to display hole cards during the show.
