Best intro that I never skipped is for the Piecemaker series. Brings absolutly no context to the show but just has all the main cast doing a mad dance to some Scandinavian Glam Rock

@thebagelsproductions Ай бұрын

That sounds amazing, frankly. I think that I might watch the show just for the credits.

@Elwaves2925 Ай бұрын

@@thebagelsproductions I wasn't overly interested in the series or the character and wasn't planning on watching it. Then someone pointed out the credit scene, it persuaded me to watch the show and it was worth it IMO. The credits are bonkers but it works.

@michaelwaddington1356 Ай бұрын

Yeah shows really good compared to a lot of the other DC stuff. I forgot to mention they do the whole ridiculous dance whilst keeping very serious stoney expressions on their faces which makes it even funnier. I'd definitely give it a watch

The only show I've seen is a recording of the radio show "I'm Sorry I haven't a clue" - two episodes at Newcastle. It was one of the best evenings ever- laughed more than any other show - all the in-jokes, introducing the presenters, silly but so well structured and it relies on the audience reactions.

I had voice master Peter Serafinowicz, voice of Darth Maul, do a comical answerphone message for me, in the voice of his character Brian Butterfield. I removed it, when someone left a message to tell me their father had passed away, and it seemed rather crass and inappropriate. "Hullo! Please leave a message on this Brian Butterfield 'Butterphone'."

A bit old school but Hill Street blues and The Professionals, I loved and still do love the way it the picture is cut to the music; even the computer tape drive moves in time to the track. Hill Street blues music is just perfect and the grey and tatty look of the picture just suits the electric piano. I could go on.

I lived in London in 2007. I went to see heaps of shows being filmed at South Bank. The Graham Norton show, Russel Brand Ponderland and … with great regret Outtake TV with Anne Robinson. She wasn’t there and we just sat in a room and watched the video as they captured the audience reaction. I remember seeing tickets to the IT crowd being available, not knowing what it was I didn’t get them. Yep I saw Outtake TV instead of the IT Crowd. Damn!! Also Top Gear had a 7 year wait.

I was in the audience for the first episode of Celebrity Wrestling on ITV (anyone remember that!?) and they spent hours filming crowd shots of celebrating and chanting to use throughout the season. Due to continuity we were not allowed to leave the auditorium for the loo without a chaperone to make sure we came straight back. I also had tickets for QI but when we got there it was queued around the block and the vast majority had already been told they were unlikely to get in. We never made it. I did get in for The IT Crowd, and that was great fun - lots of interaction and even got to meet the actors when out in the smoking area!!!

The Irish talk show The Late Late Show used to have one of the longest waiting lists for the audience. When it was hosted by it's first and best host Gay Byrne from 1962 to 1999, the waiting list was two years. Especially from 1962 to 1995 when they were in a small studio with just 120 audience seats. Their current studio since 1995 now has 200 - 250 audience seats and still a huge waiting list.

Went to see HIGNFY myself probably around the same time as Richard. Was very lucky to see one of Douglas Adams last appearances. Just a really fun hour and a half or so. Plus TV studios are generally very intimate so you are really close to the “action”. Went a couple of times to see WWTBAM as well (Tarrant era). Watching that live is tense. Can go on a bit as contestants do not have a time limit to answer questions but saw someone bag £250k.

Opening credits, done well, really set the mood for what you're about to watch. I'll always watch the first one at least, and usually the last episode just to tease out the anticipation of the grand finale. There was a programme on Radio 4 a little while ago where a composer (I think it was Nicholas Britell, not 100%) who has done a a number of shows was talking about their work, and they did discuss the "skip" button. Since hearing that, I've always felt guilty if I skip.

@Elwaves2925 Ай бұрын

Yes, I'll always check out at least one opening credit scene, it's often the second episode if a standalone pilot was made first. It can definitely help set the mood and for me, the best one for that was Twin Peaks.

I confirm that going to see Would I Lie To You is a fantastic evening out. I am a huge fan and, back when Twitter was great, spoke to the producers by DM and offered to send some pork pies down to say thanks for making me laugh so much (I own a pork pie business). They said “Why don’t you bring them down and watch a show?”. Everyone was very kind and we were asked if we’d like to come to the green room afterwards for a drink. It was the best part of a couple of hours filming and side-splittingly funny. Some of the funniest bits were clearly going to be unpublishable. And all of it was great, there weren’t long pauses in filming for technical stuff, which I’d expected. There were about 500 people in the audience, which amazed me. Thanks to our pork pie credentials (!) we were fast tracked, but otherwise there would have been quite a lot of queuing. Afterwards (again thanks to the pork pies!) we met two of my comedy heroes in the green room, Ed Byrne and Miles Jupp, and I re-met Heston Blumenthal who I knew slightly through work. I didn’t get up the nerve to chat to Rob, David and Lee though, who were sitting in a bit of a huddle. Such a good night! I’d highly recommend applying for tickets, even without the green room bonus . (NB - I also sent pies by Twitter arrangement to Pointless, back in the day, to say thank you for the TV fun, but somehow my studio invitation must have been lost in the post 😂😂)

I was once at a pilot in Elstree, about a decade ago, for a Carol Vorderman-hosted and Grant Bovey-produced pilot that was basically a Deal or No Deal clone. It was crap, and didn't get commissioned. Plus it was clear they were actors as contestants - and one of them went on to do a couple of comedy shows! The best part was it being filmed on The George Lucas Stage! We went to this in exchange for being bumped up the list for Piers Morgan's Life Stories. Sadly, the one of those we got to see was Ian Botham. He wasn't good value, and we were sat next to his family who were all a bit grumpy. Morgan was good value for the crowd, despite drinking Red Bull after Red Bull since he'd been working in America and just flown in...
