What are you wearing?

We went to a recording of Pointless and they gave the contestants a quick dab of powder in between rounds but Alexander and Richard got more attention!

When I was a child I would dream of being on the telly and thought about what I would wear, obviously the Sunday Best of the moment. Definitely a case of cba now. Who in their right mind gets tarted up to do housework or even just to have an at home day? There is a time to get dressed up and use make-up and in my world it does not happen very often. I think Bargain Hunt participants would probably wear jeans to go with their fleeces if that is what they wear. (Do not watch it so don't know). I don't work now so am free of the tyranny of work wear thank heavens. Just dress for the occasion and be clean!

Petra I know what you mean especially about the fleeced which are often way too big for them. I never leave the house without make up but not everyone likes wearing it I suppose. I don't understand why people whose houses appear on property programmes don't tidy up...messy kitchen and unmade beds have me shouting at the TV.

Today I wore a purple sweater dress with black corded leggings and black suede flats, pearl studs. Once home straight into ankle length nightie and fur lined suede boot slippers, fleece dressing how, no make up, and two copper bracelets that I wear overnight.

After a shitty 5hr drive back from a wonderful Christmas with DD2, DSIL and the gorgeous DGCs, I couldn't wait to get into PJs and fluffy slippers. Fortunately I remembered the dogs needed picking up from kennels first

A young friend and her friend were on Bargain Hunt and both looked gorgeous.

Have you noticed how over-made-up some look on programmes like HIGNFY? you could scrape the makeup off with a wallpaper scraper.

I was watching 'Four in a bed' today and was thinking the same. There were a mother and daughter pair on there and the daughter did not brush her hair throughout the whole programme!

Now, I will quite happily slob around my own house with unbrushed hair and no make up but I will not subject the unsuspecting public to such a horror!

PS No makeup, rarely used! Scarlet M&S cashmere v neck from charity shop. Horrible but durable brown M&S trousers BNWTfrom eBay. Cute red check soft slippers I had for Christmas. I look like a large but fairly unaggressive Robin!

I can't wear make up as I suffer with very dry irritable eyes. I'm wearing just a nightie by the way.

I know what you mean Petra the ' got dressed in the dark' look.?
there are some weird specimens of no dress sense quite often on Escape To The Country as well, even DH comments on them at times.

I think most programmes give a quick makeup to everyone because of the lights or ask you to arrive with some on. Some may also ask you to bring more than one change of clothes as more than one edition of a programme may be filmed at the same time. For Deal or No Deal I've read that you may be there for weeks, I don't know whether that is right.
Eggheads' challengers usually seem to have tops that all five tone well together, no violent clashes.
Sure we have some insiders who can tell us what really goes on! I'd guess people are told to be warm and comfy on Bargain Hunt!

I am afraid I would be wearing warm jogging pants and fleece too if I was on Bargain hunt. I very rarely wear make up. DH are both under the weather today and are wearing joggers and t shirts and definitely no make up, my hair did have a brush pulled through it but I really don't care what it looked like.

Jeggings, fluffy fleece jumper, mouse slippers. No make-up, but then I never wear it. (Allergic to most).

I've been on TV too. Dancing. Still no make-up. I don't think any of the rest of the team wore any either.

A confession for you, petra. I have never 'bothered', as you put it, to put any make-up on. Ever. Think what you like . Can't say it (i.e. not wearing any make-up) has ever caused me any problems. None of the men I know ever wear make-up either. Oh wait! A goth friend may have done sometimes but not when I saw him.

Equality, anyone?

I am wearing a nice skirt and jumper but, because I haven't left the house today I am wearing no makeup and there's a hole in my tights.

My onesie. What else would one wear?

The Antiques Roadshow lot always look very well turned out - perhaps the producers don't let anyone looking riff-raffy in the shots!

I'm sure some programmes actually require you to 'not' looked tarted up , such as Bargain Hunt. I would wear something comfortable and warm as often they film out doors or in a Auction rooms which can be freezing especially if you've been hanging around all day filming, as I'm sure this type of program requires plenty of takes to get things right.
People who are in a studio being filmed usually wear something suitable and look presentable as they've been 'given the once over' by the producers and makeup/hair etc.

I try to a mirrors, there is a wrinkled old crone getting in the way

Lol. You all know what I'm talking about. Would you not go all out if you were going to be on TV? There was a woman last week who had on grey sweat pants with elasticated ankles, I ask you. I can't believe she stood in front of the mirror and said, yes, that looks good.

Pj's, no make-up, hair scraped back, bare feet and a glass of red - purely medicinal due to the fact that DS has shared his flu with me

There you are, Petra, you will now get a list of what GNetters are wearing at this moment - is that what you meant?

A onesie with ears.
