June 2007

June 27- on the set of "Pete's P.A." message from Rose, site webmistress:

I was lucky enough to spend part of the week of June 18-22 on the set of the upcoming Living TV series “Pete’s P.A.” As Pete’s fan, it was an unforgettable experience to be able to watch him at work, enlivening the set with his quick wit and colorful humor. As Pete’s friend, I was proud of the professionalism with which he and Michael tackled each day’s worth of interviews, panel discussions, and activities planned by the potential P.A.s. Think television is easy? It is…only if you’re merely watching it.

Pete and Michael have gone through one adventure after another as teams of aspiring P.A.s schemed and scrambled to impress them. Each day has brought forth a succession of welcome surprises and cringing embarrassments. No spoilers here, but I will say that I had the chance to participate in some
of the fun when the cameras were off. I visited a London hotel where the house champagne averaged three hundred pounds a bottle, strolled through exclusive shops where a commoner like yours truly would normally be classed as a ‘suspicious person’, and even had a whip land across my rear during an unobservant moment. It was wild, it was fun, and most important of all,
never boring.

I met all of the potential P.A.s still in the running at the time of my arrival, and was entertained, impressed, and sometimes horrified at the
lengths they went to in order to achieve the ultimate goal: become Pete’s P.A. The series will air in September on Living TV, and you can, in Pete’s own words, “expect the unexpected.”

-Rose
