After football

Hi,
Yesterday evening was great!
It started with amazing surprise – BBC Radio 2 Chris Evans was playing You
Are – and this was huge thing for me!
Chris Evans is one of Britain's high-profile and successful presenters.
Chris started his broadcasting career at Piccadilly Radio then moved to GLR, where his infamous Round at Chris' Saturday morning show attracted a huge cult following and he later took the format to Virgin 1215. A stint on the short-lived BSB Channel, The Power Station allowed Chris time to hone his presenting technique, until Channel 4 opted for a different type of early morning show with The BIG Breakfast. Chris dived into the nation's mornings in September 1992, spearheading the morning extravaganza alongside Gaby Roslin. From the first sitting, his name became synonymous with the television story of the decade and within weeks The BIG Breakfast topped 2 million viewers. Chris' years on the show made him a national star.
In 1993, Chris formed his own company called Ginger Productions to formulate a brand new variety show for Saturday nights, Don't Forget Your Toothbrush. Devised, written and performed by Chris, the ratings peaked at a combined 6 million viewers.
With Chris at its helm, Ginger Productions fast became one of the major players in entertainment production. Under the Ginger banner, Chris produced and presented a second series of Don't Forget Your Toothbrush revitalized BBC Radio One with his Radio One Breakfast Show before bowing out to concentrate on his unique end-of-the-week TV show on Channel 4, TFI Friday. TFI ran for 5 years, before finishing on 22nd December 2000 with a show hosted by Elton John.
Recently Chris has presented the breakfast show on UK Radio Aid’s day of programming for the victims of the Asian Tsunami. He also presented two programmes on BBC Radio 2 over the 2005 Easter Bank holiday and the 2005 edition of the Brit Awards and Comic Relief 2005. Chris joined Radio 2 to present his regular Saturday afternoon show in 2005 and moved on to presenting the Drivetime show in April 2006.
Anyway...
I was hosting an event in one traditional English pub in London for media/TV/radio people. First came my performance which went very well and after that we watched together the game. The result 3:0 was not the greatest thing for Estonia but I think our team was playing quite well – look who’s talking? Football and me? Don’t fit together very well. But at least Beckham is now visited Estonia and I know that very many fans were waiting for him. The good thing was also that there were not any fights during or after the game – so I’m very happy that everybody was so civilised. Here’s also few pictures made during yesterday’s event.
Thanks for the great time!
I'm back in London this Sunday for Talksport Radio interview with James Whale. It's on air Sunday, 10th June at 23.30, listen live.
Lots of love,
Hannah
