Anyone in the know on this kind of stuff?

[Hetzer]

I've been approached by a TV producer on behalf of National Geographic with an interest in doing a feature on me and my time in the Japanese concentration camp. I've sent my first reply, saying I have no problems with her suggestion of an in-principal interview but obviously I'd like to score some moolah. So my question is do these sorts of affairs pay a standard fee or whatnot?

You used to get a free t-shirt if you wrote an article for Used Motorcycle Guide and they published it.

So in answer to your question. I have no idea.

She got back to me with a line about broadscasting rules don't allow payments for stories where there was a conviction other than accomodation and expenses. I replied that she probably wouldn't be interested in my story then as I was acquitted of all charges but she's still calling me tomorrow. I figure a night at the Ritz with room-service and a decent cheque and it might be worth my while.

I got paid 200 euro per day plus food and drink, for being filmed, pretending to be a tourist.
Easiest 800 euro I've ever earned, especially as the whole lot ended up on the cutting room floor!

Its not really the same, but it might be of use/interest..

Someone i know sold a story to one of those women's mags (Take a break or something). They used photo's, names, details, etc etc.

They paid £600 for that.

Well thanks Colin, cause I thought he meant he was in an actual concentration camp, so I appreciate the clarification

It was a fucking concentration camp. Ten months of the fifteen I did there in solitary confinement, frostbite in the winter, physical and psychological torture on a daily fucking basis, animal scum.

There has been a bit in the press recently about japanese being mean to the foreigners they deport, no politically correct stuff.

Our guys have nothing on the Japanese it seems.

So hetzers experience may be sort of topical, as it's been reported on recently.

I got banged up in Zimbabwe for a series of bank jobs that were nothing to do with me. Reckon there is cash in the pot for me as well?

I imagine African prison to be even worse than Japanese prison.

Did the real crims advise you on how to actually do the crimes you were accused of ?

Akk, mine was three days of beatings, then the drunken guys from Mugabe's tribe turned there backs and Nkomo's boys let/helped me escape and lost all the records

It lasted three days because I refused to let them know where I lived. Nkomo's guys sussed that it was because I had a lot of weed at my place and I did not want a 12 month spanking inside over it, reality was that some twat had decided to give me 24 hand grenades (mixed varieties) as a birthday present and they were in my bathroom (plus a few guns that I did not have a licence for), having that kind of munition carried a life sentence (life was not a long sentence in a Zimbabwean prison )
