Nick Ferrari - TV and Other Appearances

TV and Other Appearances

Aside from radio, Ferrari regularly appears as a commentator on The Alan Titchmarsh Show on ITV and previously Channel 4's Richard & Judy and guested on breakfast television magazine GMTV. In early 2003, following his appointment as editor of the proposed local newspaper the London Evening Mail, he made a series of appearances on local evening news programmes London Tonight and BBC London News. However, in November of that year Ferrari was offered the breakfast show on LBC 97.3 (effective January 2004) and subsequently stepped down as the newspaper's editor. As a result, the attention awarded him by London regional programmes declined and he now makes far fewer appearances on those shows.

Throughout 2004-2005 Ferrari developed his own one-man stage show consisting largely of anecdotes about his family and the various jobs he's held over the years, jokes, audience interaction and the occasional guest appearance, including Carol Thatcher (a regular on his show). The show played at various theatres across the capital and as far out as Radlett, and came to a close on 16 December 2005 at the Fairfield Halls, Croydon. He has vowed not to repeat it, however he is now launching a new series of theatre appearances to promote his book The World According to Nick Ferrari. On 10 March 2006 he appeared on ITN's 'The Pulse', which lets the viewing public discuss a topic of the day; on this day it was silly laws.

In 2006, Ferrari also made an appearance on the BBC/HBO comedy show 'Extras' in the show's second series. Nick played the part of himself as a phone-in radio presenter set in LBC 97.3 Studios.

From February 2008, Ferrari became a regular guest on a new ITV political show called "London Talking" starring Konnie Huq and featuring Vanessa Feltz. On 29 June 2008, Ferrari covered the Salute to Israel march and rally in London's Trafalgar Square, which celebrated the 60th anniversary of the founding of the State of Israel, attended by over 40,000 people. On 19 November 2009 he appeared as a panelist on the BBC's Question Time in Leicester. On 10 March 2011, he appeared again on Question Time, this time in Edinburgh. He has appeared as a commentator on BBC One's Politics Show.
