Sky Poker TV- this December.
As Del Boy will no doubt say in the traditional Only Fools Xmas Day repeat: "You know it makes sense, Rodders!"
Once again I am doing a copy and paste from Mr Orford:
This Thursday night it's our Christmas show! And what better way to get into the festive spirit then sharing a mince pie and a few Christmas carols with Santa's Little Hinderers:
Richard Orford and Carlo Citrone!
Yes, it's a dubious thanks to Phil12UK for providing this disturbing image of Carlo and myself as elves. But if you think that's bad, wait until you see what we're wearing in real life on the Xmas show!
Loyal viewers will remember last year Sky Claire dressed up me and Grumpy Christmas in this seasonal dire attire...
And this year, she's really pulling out all the stops. And yes, this time it's Carlo turn to get his Chrimbo gladrags on (as well as me obv FML).
I'm sure Sam Razavi and Jamie Burland will be eagerly watching to see if Carlo is prepared to wear something ridiculous, with one eye on their prop bet which is due to run out in a few days!
I've got a really bad feeling I'm going to be in a full-on reindeer suit. Any predictions? And any suggestions as to what Carlo could be with a Xmas theme?
Joining us for our festive tomfoolery, but thankfully not in a comedy outfit, is regular Sky Poker pundit and UK poker proNik Persaud.
Nik writes features for poker magazines and is widely used at poker bootcamps up and down the country as a keynote speaker. He is also the 2010 World Heads Up Champion and a great guest whenever he's on the show.
We're covering the Sky Roller and the Sky Sorts Bounty Hunter and we'll be simulcasting on Sky Sports 4 from 10pm. Hang on, does that mean I'll be dressed like a Christmas pudding on Sky Sports? Jeez...
So, let's get the ball rolling with lots of interaction from you guys.
Firstly- ASK NIK
Let's have those questions in for our guest expert.
Secondly- CHRISTMAS COSTUME IDEAS.
Let's have them for Carlo and I. In fact, let's have your suggestions for ALL the Sky Poker onscreen team.
The show starts at 8pm on Thursday- Channel 865. Make sure you're there and let's be hearing from you in the meantime!
We are back to our usual schedule this week going live on the following nights:
