2000
GMTV - On 30th November, 2000, a year to the day the School for Seduction video was shown, I appeared on GMTV analysing flirting behaviour of a male and female actor. Quite funny.

UK Living 'Women Talk Sex'  Peta was filmed for 3 hours talking about SEX.  As this is the topic of my next book - it was very interesting.  For a new programme called 'Women talking sex'.  

BBC Science of Seduction - Peta was filmed for a Natural History programme for the American Market. Shown on The Learning Channel in USA and Canada on Feb 14th.     Along with Ross Jeffries,the king of speed seduction, Peta is included because of her work with body language and energetic rapport!  

Vanessa Feltz's Value for Money - BBC 1 - July 12 Peta was filmed advising Vanessa on how to approach a date for the first time when you become recently single.   Another lesson in TV learned.   I noticed how the editors cut  

Dutch TV Show - with Paul and Hans.   Peta was invited to Amsterdam to appear on chat show hosted by two gay guys.  It's one of Hollands most popular shows - goes out on Friday night.   We discussed flirting, had a lot of laughs and as well as a handsome fe, I got to spend an entire weekend in Amsterdam courtesy of Marat TV.  That's what I call hospitality!!

The Trisha Show -  Channel  3 10th March 2000 -   Peta was one of the rare experts they invite on the show.  Commenting on outrageous flirts.  Lots of coverage, and shows Peta being very feisty, militant and entertaining!

Valentines Day - RTL5 Amsterdam featured Peta in an interview about the Flirting Academy and the Amsterdam Flirting weekend.  

Sky Digital Valentines Day - repeated every 3 hours starting 7am to 10 am... for some bizarre reason I got interviewed by the money programme for sky digital... ended up dancing the merengue and being flung upside down by the reporter, who used to work on Radio 4 today. Flirting gets everywhere when I'm involved!

Gloria Hunniford Open House Monday 24th Jan - Peta guests with Leslie Phillips and is very naughty!  I was asked to monitor Leslie Phillips' behaviour with the TV chef, Ann.  I remarked that he could go further than most men with his suggestiveness because of his fame, and also his age.   He said it wasn't wise to push too hard, to which I remarked that he should save the 'hard pushing' to later.   Leslie was flabbergasted for a moment but came back with the quick riposte 'She's reading my mind'. 

From there it was a laugh a minute particularly when I confided to Leslie that my father, who is the same age as him, has an ambition to 'die on the job'.    When I finished doing this show, the audience were really laughing, the crew and the next guests were congratulating me BUT most of all I felt 'That was ME being ME'.  Be yourself, not always what everyone wants, but in the end it's the only way to be successful!  I also received a lovely letter from the team congratulating me on my performance!

1999
Falling in Love Again Anglia TV Peta invited on to give flirting coaching to TV presenter Sarah Burrell.. great success.  Sarah realised lots about her own state and was very complimentary.  Great interview with the lovely Helen Lederer.   Anglia TV's dating programme
