Also this was one I'd seen them do as a run through earlier in the year - with scripts and no costumes

Corr.

When my OH jumped up to go to the loo he was asked by the dude with the microphone - who warms us all up - where he was going and asked if he was incontinent to which my other half replied: "No mate, it's you, you're shit". Whistling nnocently

It's one of his standard piss takes. He's there to keep things going between takes or we'd be bored out of our skulls although I would have thought his retort could've been a bit more original.

Well they were actually wearing some clothes.

And I'm not sure why exactly we thought this was a Christmas show.

IIRC, it was originally billed as such. I suspect it was written as such too, but modified once they realised the the show wouldn't be going out before Christmas after all.

As I say though I saw the run through back in August was it?

I dunno. It wasn't Christmassy at that point?

I suppose they needn't have referred specifically TO Christmas in the show, but had decorations and whatnot? :/

And there was a lovely implied image of a pussy!

I did laugh.

What about you Aaron?

Beaver?

Beaver?

Giraffe!

Well I missed that one then.

The pussy in the dustbin or Lee's favourite meat being giraffe?

Are you not implying that the giraffe mention was itself implying a pussy?

The rest of the cast just seemed to shy away from the audience a little. Ohhhh, before I forget, what do you call that woman that was very bossy? (Not a joke, actual question lol)

I jumped up to go for a weewee when the guy was chatting to someone else, I nearly didn't escape! One of the guys who we kind of got friendly with nicked a script. The monkey.

My OH keeps wittering on about walnuts now. sigh.

We got to the studios for 3pm, went to the pub for an hour then started the big wait at about 4. I was number 19 :D

The rest of the cast are "real" actors. I managed to speak to the dopey girl when I went to the run through earlier this year but I don't think they were aloof - just professional.

Am I thick here? What is your OH?

She's the Stage Manager I think.

That does look like an ace job.

Actually I'm jealous of all the people who get to work on set.

If you go to other recordings, you'll see that Tim and Lee are the exception. I've never seen banter such as they do (particularly Lee) at any other recording.

Northerners do rob a lot.

Correct.

And OH = other half.
