The latest of Channel 4's 'Hidden Talents' idents has caused no end of discussion in my house. Is it real? Does Jamie Oliver really have a penchant for ping pong?
I think not, but nevertheless very clever and looks realistic. In fact, I'm not entirely sure how it's filmed, as there is no obvious digital trickery, and the camera stays in focus and stationary throughout. Answers on a postcard please.
I have my own theory...bare with me:
J.O lisps away for a bit, walks up to the table and starts 'playing'. I noticed that he only moves his paddle hand right and left, which is pretty easy to do even without looking. I think the other two guys are awesome, and skilled enough to be hitting the ball directly at his paddle. Thusly, Jamie Oliver looks like a pro. Obviously, lots of practice is required here, but I couldn't really see Channel 4 forking out for any kind of computer wizardry that I don't understand.
I could be, and probably am wrong so please disagree.
Doesn't really make me like him any more though.
I grew up half an hour from where Mr Oliver was raised, and my dad enjoyed his childhood literally down the motorway from him. I wish someone to explain to me how he has ended up with a faux 'chim chiminy, chim, chim cher-ee' accent when I haven't. An noone else in Essex has. We may all be common, and have spawned Jodie Marsh, but we're not quite Victorian cockneys.
[Note] Out of interest, I Wikipedia'd where Jodie Marsh was born. One half of my genetic makeup comes from the town responsible for her. Wonderful.
P.S:
In December 2006, Marsh announced her engagement to Brentwood DJ David Doyle, after dating for eleven days. Eschewing the traditional engagement ring, Marsh instead tattooed Doyle's full name on her hand and the couple appeared together in OK! magazine announcing their plan to marry in a fetish ceremony in a dungeon."

My theory is that it is all choreography, Jamie was told to move his hand left and right then hareder at another point to do the more fancy work and a cgi ball was placed in the mix afterwards. I love this advert, i think its really clever of channel 4 to be subverting the advertising campaign of celebrities saying rather random things that was really succesful at the time but could have got annoying after a while. Go team channel four.
Jodie is a skank it makes me sink to my very soul that she has mroe money than me for absolutely nothing. She is one person I would never tire of slapping. Least with Jordan I get the feeling that she is infact a buisness woman so it makes me hate her less becasue she seems to have some sort of brain. Jodie Marsh however can not even claim this, I hope one day I find the machine that she is attached to that tells her to breadth, eat, drink and blink and I will destroy her and I will feel no remorse as I watch her die becasue I know I will have saved millions of council trash girls from wanting to be anything like her.
