Fourteen years ago, I made a documentary with the BBC on fear of the dentist. It was called Doc Martin's Casebook and although it was on for half an hour, it took nearly three months to film as all the crew had to keep comming down from London. The producer would phone up the day before and ask if it was okay to shoot another scene the next day. My dentist put my name forward without me knowing and I was chosen out of over 500 people from all over the country. I had to be hypnotised (sp) by the dentist several times and it was a bit daunting at first but got used to the cameras. One scene was all my children cleaning their teeth but the camera and sound crew couldn't all fit in my bathroom, so a quick phone call to a friend and we all filmed that scene in her bathroom. They also wanted to film hubby doing his Karate at the club, so they ended up taking everyone to the pub after, drank too much and all the crew had to stay at the local hotel. There was another scene shot on a local bus, which took nearly a whole morning. Yet another one we took over the bar of a local pub and had to sit at a table with friends and talk about dentists amongst other things. We were there all evening and no one had to buy a drink. I was treated like royalty by the whole crew, they were just fantastic and with the money I got paid for doing it, we had our very first holiday ever in a hotel with the four children. The night it was shown on air, I had the biggest bouquet of flowers sent to me that I've ever seen.

Well thats my claim to fame folks
