Anthony Heywood: My trip to QVC US
Posted: 04 Oct 2008 02:00 AM CDT
Hi everyone, it's Anthony,
I've just spent the last few days at QVC US and I'm writing this at 35,000 feet having just flown out of Philadelphia - takes me back to my flying days!
It’s been a while since I last visited QVC Studio Park, and it was great to see it again. You're struck by the sheer size of the complex - it's so big the presenters travel between studios on golf buggies!
Bumping into familiar faces
Many of the guests at QVC US also appear back home, and it was a wonderful surprise on my first day to bump into friendly craft experts Anna Griffin and Brenda Walton.
I headed into Philadelphia for lunch with Davinia, who's one of the US presenters. While waiting outside the restaurant, out comes the ex-boss of QVC UK. I mean - what are the odds? He doesn’t even live in Philadelphia!
Presenting on American TV
On my second day I made a surprise appearance on air when Jeanne Bice of Quacker Factory noticed me watching in the wings and insisted I appeared on camera! I also had fun catching up with Eric, who's a guest for cook's essentials and has been on air in the UK a couple of times.
It was really exciting to present in front of a live studio audience, which we only do occasionally in the UK.
Take a studio tour
If you ever find yourself near Philly I'd thoroughly recommend dropping by Studio Park and doing one of the studio tours - it gives you a fascinating insight into the world of shopping TV.
I'm going to kick back now and enjoy the rest of the flight,
Anthony x
Is anyone going? Did you even know that you could? Do you think they might introduce them in Battersea? Or am I really sad thinking this would be fun?
