Hi Carl

Thanks for your comment unfortunately he was only David in the 70’s TV show - in the comics and movies he was always Robert Bruce Banner

Thanks

carl hodges says:

Hi I just want 2 comment on the question about the super hero ego you said bruce banner was the incredible hulk but in fact I think it was david banner correct me if I’m wrong thank you


cam dell says:

on the whole 19 yards were dave has just won the question to the final, i think its unfair because as a player of the sport, johnny wilkinson plays rugby union, as theres 2 versions of rugby i think its unfair that dave said rugby and won, he should’ve had to be specific

Sally Peachey says:

Yey, Jammy Waggon Wheel Rules!!! Had a fantastic time watching the recording, such a laugh and great entertainment. Vernon is such a down to earth friendly guy and “Dale” aka Stu…..thanks for the Roses!! The studio team were also fab and looked after us all. Thanks for the ride on the golf buggy! Awesome!


stuart hope-kirk says:

its such a shame reading about some people moaning that the show finished later than advertised.and people standing outside for an hour and half in the cold…. well folks i went to the show on the 8th march-and on the 22nd march. it was 2 days of laughter and a lot of fun.and i would do that in the snow/rain and cold wind every-day. and i don’t care what time it finishes. the tickets are free.. so folks. just remember if you think that a new recording will go without a hitch..your kidding yourself..the show was great Vernon.and caroline is a lovely lady.iv got her signed picture up in the kitchen..well done for a great show. and we are looking forward to the 17th April to see it on television….

Paul & Carol Macgregor says:

Hi Vern, Went to the final show of ‘19 Yards’. Had a great day, My wife was well chuffed when you abliged with an autograph. Great interaction with the crowd, fair play. It the bits inbetween the filming that actually make the day special. Well done Vern, and give our best to Tess & Brucie. xx


Nick Orchard says:

Went up to Pinewood on Monday to appear on the show, had an absolutely great day, spoke with Vernon who was a top bloke, and yes Caroline in tiny compared to Vern who towered over me.

The games were all good fun and can’t wait to see it on the box!!

wendy rickard says:

went to see the show yesterday 22nd had a fantastic time.we were led to a marquee before entry where refreshments were available at very reasonable prices £1 for tea or coffee.we were very well entertained during the intervals and had never laughed so much. stu the warm up guy was very funny indeed. well done vernon on another great show cant wait till april 17th when it goes on air.


Sara Jeapes says:

Went to watch the filming of the final episode yesterday - totally awesome, long day but better than any other one i’ve seen! Vernon got stuck in withthe warm up and got really involved with the audiences! And took time out for chats and autographs. Brilliant day, great great seats & can’t wait to see it aired (early June for the final episode i believe?)
Thanks all!


brian says:

love it nice one vernon thax x


Pauline says:

Went to see it yesterday and overall it was a great day-but very long.
One word of warning-get there early if you haven’t got priority tickets-we got there for 2.30pm-3.30pm doors opening and there was already a massive queue and we just missed getting a wrist band and being guaranteed entry-so we were on standby.
Once in, everyone including standbys are taken to a marque where you wait for about an hour and a half-there is food and drink for sale-long queues and high prices-before you are walked over to see if you’ll get in.
Alot of people must have been disappointed as there wasn’t many seats left.
One woman turned up at 3.15pm and made a right fuss so security had to threaten to call the police!!
(She didn’t get it that she was too late and was moaning she’d paid £50 to get there from Essex-she didn’t realised we’d all travelled some distance and the ticket does say get there early-no guarantee of entry).
Stu the warm up guy was good-and he did sound and look like Dale Winton!
Vernon was funny and very fit-and my husband had a smoke with Caroline Flack in the break (she is titchy!)


Clare says:

Went to see the filming of A Whole 19 yards yesterday and it was fantastic!! A long day but well worth it. Went with 4 friends and we had a brilliant time. Vernon Kay was very funny and friendly joining in with the entertainment in between scences and Stu the warm up guy was hilarious. Thanks ITV 1 brill day out even though we missed our train home as it finished so late and ended up paying £80 for a taxi!!! Well worth it


Steve Pease says:

Went to filming yesterday, amazing i have not laughed like that in ages for all that where there and you wont see on the show when it goes out: a jammy wagon wheel always beats an orginal ! go side b!


Stacey Temperley says:

Went to see a show being filmed yesterday because my Dad was taking part. It was a very long bay but it was very enjoyable. Vernon Kay was the main host and is fantastic at what he does and comes across very natural. Caroline Flack is lovely also. Managed to speak to them both but sadly no pictures :o(. Can’t wait to see the show on tv!!

PS: Tracey Evans - yes he is :o)


Jo says:

Went to it being filmed on monday and thought it was fantastic. But like the others said was a long day, didn’t leave til gone 11pm. Stu the warm up guy was fab and kept us entertained whilst they were setting up the set. Vernon was looked great and was very amusing.


Chappers says:

I’m coming to watch filming with my mum next Thursday (18th).

See you there big man!


Kellie Smith says:

Wooooow I went to watch the show on 3rd March and i had a priority ticket and it was well worth it. Was such a long day though i was there 11 hours but to see vernon for 5 of those hours was AMAZING! plus i now have a signed photo of him OMG!!!! shame i dont know when it goes on air tho??


karen kenna says:

had a great time at the filming of the whole 19 yards,lots of fun brilliant warm up guy,well worth the late finish can’t wait to see it on t.v


James says:

Went to see the show yesterday! Was AMAZING! And Vernon is so good at what he does! The warmup guy is great, be prepared to join in!! Long day, estimated to finish at 8.15pm, got out at almost 11pm but you can leave whenever you want, someone will fill your seat! Great day out, but get there early! Loads of “normal” ticket holder got turned away :\


Jennifer & Tyshea says:
