Ian Wright Visit
BBC Television National Lottery
Wright Around The World
6th November 2004 BBC1
We were fortunate enough in October this year to have been selected by head office to represent the RNLI on the BBC National Lottery programme "Wright Around The World", which airs every Saturday. Ian Wright, ex-arsenal footballer and now TV presenter and his crew came to Mumbles for an afternoon at sea to film part of the show which will be aired on Saturday 6th November 2004 on BBC1.
Its fair to say that the "Mighty Wrighty" was fair game and he and the crew thoroughly enjoyed the time at sea, even if some of the crew were unable to answer all of his questions (with a little help from their friends!!).
The day for us was made when Ian Wright met Graham Wright, our longest standing crew member, although not related the picture makes them look like long lost brothers.
Thanks to all at the BBC for a great day filming!!!
