Greetings gang,
Hot off the back of last night's show, we have another live night upcoming on Sky Poker TV very shortly.
It's Sunday. Yes I know, that Sunday. The one when the England quarter-final is on. So I appreciate you probably won't be watching for the first couple of hours but we'll definitely see you from 9.30 onwards!
The last England game I did on Tuesday actually had a very healthy contingent of viewers who weren't into the football watching us, so it'll be nice to have those guys back with us as well.
On the sofa all night, will be myself, Richard Orford and staying in his very successful analyst caretaker role for a second show on the bounce- Mr. Hartigan.
I have 3 Tuesday night Lucky 7s tournament seats once more to give away- and they'll go to the best responses to this...
Sky Poker: The Movie
Tell me about this film!
e.g. if they made this, which real-life stars would be in it?
And which Sky Poker players or presenter/analysts would they be playing? What would the plot be?
Would it be an arthouse flick or a big budget blockbuster? What would all the budget mainly go on? (Tikay's makeup?)
What would the tagline be? (e.g. "In SNGs no-one can hear you scream"). Would there be a classic line of dialogue in it?
What would be the standout scene? How would it end? etc etc
You don't have to answer all or any of those particular questions- you might think of your own stuff. I'm just giving you some ideas. Just tell us something about how you'd visualise that movie turning out and you can make your answer as long or short as you want.
The 3 best answers win prizes! Post anyway between now and Sunday, even if you can't catch the show, as I read them all out and 3 winners will still be announced on the thread, so be sure to check back on here.
See you at 7pm Sunday!

Sky Poker The Movie
It's important to note this would have to be an Art House Movie not a blockbuster!
6 Max wouldn't achieve the Box Office revenue!
The Title: Pack To The Future
The Plot: A David and Goliath scenario. Sky Poker taking on the on line giants and beating them in every department. Dicky Mc Fly by night (Richard Orford) having to go back in time to make good a space time continuum error.
The clock in Timed tournaments has stopped and can't be put right until Orford sorts out the Evil Lothario (Carlo) who has eyes on Orford's mother (Anna Fowler) and coming to think about it, anyone in a skirt, to be honest!
Hartigan with his geekish comments, uncomfortable laugh and ability to look awkward in any company. Makes an excellent Super Villain side kick to Carlo.
Scotty 77 as Hagrid Mc Flybynight. Dicky's shy unassuming, timid father. Who transforms into a self confident, fashion conscious, aggressive winner thanks to Dicky's Tutelage
Sarah Champion is everyone's choice for Dicky's future love interest. She wouldn't even need lines to win an Oscar!
Tikay's role would be that of Mad Professor / Child Catcher. Come on! you'd save a fortune on wardrobe! He's worn most of the outfit's on live shows already!.
The ending would be Dicky ensuring his mother marries the man she should be engaged to, Carlo and Hartigan end up on the TV Channel Dave. Tikay invents a system that ensures him success in US Omaha tournaments. The Timed Tournament Clock is restarted ensuring Sky Poker's future success and popularity.
Dicky and Sarah live happily ever after! Even though Dicky never got to see a televised sporting event, ever! Because fate always conspired to have him presenting a live show at the same time!
As the film was expected to be an international success all Carlo's lines were put in speech bubbles so the English could understand them!
Cast:
Richard Orford (Dicky McFlybynight) – Michael J Fox
Tikay – Benny Hill
Anna – Barbara Streisand (Younger Version)
Carlo – Marty Feldman
Hartigan – Jerry Lewis
Scotty 77 – Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane)
Sarah – Any spectacular actress with great eyes and amazing figure
I heard theres a football game on or something ........
Run better guys.
Will obv be watching the re-run tho, have a good show.
Question for James : When does NFL season start and have you got any tips ?
Richard and James, have a good show tonight.
As nobody will be watching, tonight is your big opportunity to finally broadcast all those thoughts and opinions that you have hesitated to express previously. For example...
Richard, what do you think of female Assistant Referees?
James, Miss World, discuss.
Isn't there still time for a "technical hitch" tonight that get's fixed for 10pm?, but just in case here is a film plot:
Have a guess on what's the film I'm thinking of:
Upon arrival at a mental institution, a brash rebel rallies the patients together to take on the oppressive Nurse, a woman more a dictator than a nurse. They recreate the 1975 final table of the WSOP Main Event, which had a staggering 21 entrants with only 1 prize being paid, a thrilling winner takes all.
Epic one liners ensue:
Which one of you nuts has got the nuts?
Hit me, Chief, I got the Cards!
You're not an idiot. Huh! You're not a looney now, boy. You're a fisherman!
Cast Members:
Tony 49 cards Kendall plays Randle not Hopkirk
Claire Jack Boots Cook plays Slimline Nurse tonic
Carlo plays Shaken not stirred
Julian plays Mad Max
you get the drift? so the film is:
ONE FLEW OVER THE DEALERS NEST
Have a good night with all the football fans who's teams are out, or even didn't get to the finals

Oh why is spagbol still moaning
Ah what a beautiful play -
I've got a wonderful feeling
Sky Poker's going my way.
To the tune of "Oh What A Beautiful Morning"
------------------------------------------
Fish and Sharks and Trolls better scurry
When they deal the cards in a hurry
When they play the "wheel" in a flurry
With my ACE on Top.
To the Tune of "Surrey With A Fringe on Top"
----------------------------------------------------------
Don't throw your cards at me
Your hands are just like mine
Don't fold your raggy Ace
People will say we're in love.
to the tune of "People will say we're in love"
-------------------------------------
Oklahomaha! the cards are falling down the drain (down the drain)
Oklaomaha only team 51 are not insane (not insane)
Where the flushing flop is a delightful crop
And a Straight comes on the turn again....
O -- Oklaomaha - just play the game and see
it's the greatest game - with a lot to gain
Oklahomaha's there for me - Yeehaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To the tune of "Oklahoma!"

Starring the Cast of Team 51
TBH when the screenwriter saw the strength of some of the other poker-related film’s being put forward he hit the bottle! HIC! Oh and could you ask your sound engineer to increase the volume in the left hand speaker tonite as the earphones I bought this morning don’t work in the right ear!!
pad
p.s. I’ve e-mailed a film related Q for James.
Anyway, good evening chaps.
I'd bought into the side event at the SPT today but I woke up not feeling very well so didn't make it. It was a good couple of hours yesterday, though. I was coolered really early on. Lovely to meet Anna, although I don't look forward to seeing my exit interview with her... Everybody cringe at how awful I look and no doubt sound. Also, threatening to injure her might have been a step too far. Funny story, that.
It really is nice here today. Anna no tell lies.
Have a good show gentlemen. I won't be watching for a few hours. Sorry.
Evening Gents,
Good sales job guys....have now signed up for the primo and mini primo!
£10k will be good spending money for Vegas!
