Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda jam Nation.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
You know, when it comes to TV and you you
are the OG, and TV is a very hard thing
to do. Lord knows, I've tried, but it is very hard.
And that's why when they go into the streets and
they get Johnny Punter to say something into the camera,
invariably just goes.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
And that's why reality TV does well because no one
has to be any good at it. You just.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
And that's it. But there is a craft to TV.
It's about remembering what you have to say, deliver it
to the camera, looking presentable and looking comfortable. So your
husband Harley, while he was looking at the Bisonennial table,
that's that table that he put away to.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Restore, you know, yeah by centennial. How many years ago
was that? Now that was in the eighties, some years ago.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Anyway, he found a stack of VHS tapes of you
and he said them to you from beyond two thousand. Well,
he just said, you've got the technology there at work
and plenty of time to goof off. So we've un
to a series of tastes. But this one here is
nineteen eighty five and it's beyond two thousand. It's you
being introduced to the audience in.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
The studio segment, A studio segment, studio. I've been so
terrified in those days we didn't have startus. I think
I probably had my hair and makeup done, but I
would have worn my own clothes.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Well, let's wag it in the old JVC and this
is you.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
They have read that the Beyond two thousand team is expanding. Well,
now's the time to meet our latest number, Amanda Keller. Hello, Amanda,
you've already been out. I believe on this content, at
least do some shooting. What's the first story all about?

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Well, while I'm new.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
To be on two thousand and everyone is being so
polite to me. I thought i'd take the best trip going.
I'm sure that eventually I'll have to freeze in Siberia
or set myself on fire like eating. Oh yes, it's
found to happen.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
But I thought for my first trip I had taken
the tropical Far North. Wow. Wow, the tropical far North.
What a beautiful place.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
What was the story?

Speaker 2 (01:59):
What was it?

Speaker 3 (02:00):
A giant alga farm? In the idea is to similar right.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
It was crashing over algae covered rocks, which is how
the system works on the natural rim that that was
the first of many Alga farms I covered. Listen to
how Posche sounded, and I sound so composed, but I
would have been absolutely terrified.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yeah yeah, and because you as you admitted. The audition
for that show, well.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
The audition was we had to come up with our
own stories. And I was terrified because I was never
a science person. But I was asked, I guess to
be the audience.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
You're not a science person.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Our job was to be the audience's representative for these
scientific breakthroughs. So it didn't matter that I was a dumbo.
But the audition, we had to find our own stories.
And my cousin was working at university. He was a
university student with a lecturer who had his own single
person submersible. So we thought, all right, how about I
do this? And I was so terrified and so non TV.

(02:54):
I've been working as a producer before then, a semi
producer at the midday show, so I didn't have much
television next experience, and so I had to go into
this submersible and I thought, well, how about we opened
the hatch and the professor came in with me. It's
a one person one but I couldn't be in there
on my own, so he was crouched down. He was
crouching down underneath me. I want to open up the

(03:15):
hatch and say things like, thanks to submersibles like this,
we can monitor the pollution all on the coast, so
we'll never have pollution anymore.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
You know, one of those, Yeah, of course.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
So, but we'd spent the day bobbing around, bobbing around,
you know what I'm like on the water. Yeah. So
I opened the hatch and just did a giant vomit
in Waldeck, and the cameraman, to his credit, a lovely
man who's no longer with us, buttoned off.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Are you chucking up?

Speaker 1 (03:38):
He buttoned off while I chucked up?

Speaker 2 (03:39):
And then that's technical terms, by the way, switch for
switching off the camera.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
Yes, and I these days they'd film that and that'd
be all over the internet. So I'm glad you Here'd
be a show and I wouldn't even get to You
wouldn't get to host it either. When I got the job,
they said, I got the job, but they wanted to
change my hair and my clothes. I said, so I spewed,
and you weren't happy with my hair and my clothes
and how did.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
I get that job? Simultaneously while spewing.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Oh, I forgot. Okay, So while I was spewing, because
I wasn't feeling well in that small, submersiful submersible, I
was nervous. My guts were all a kimbo.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
They just get to it. You're farted in the professor,
the poor professor's face.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
He was holding my ankles underneath me, and he must
have thought, you know what, why did I get up
this morning? It's a precursor that recent submissive.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Please let this thing collapse now and look at you now,
look at me now, working with you exactly
