2024-10-12 03:47:27 +0000 UTCMrs. Miggins (Helen Atkinson-Wood) is no relation to Rowan :) And YEAH silly.. of course there was laughing for 3x01 and all of 2x.. but it's _not_ a "laugh track" - this is filmed live in front of a studio audience, like a play. Lots of classic comedies do this like Red Dwarf or The IT Crowd In the next episode keep an eye out for some interesting actors. You'll see Percy (Tim McInnerny) from last series, so can admire his giraffe neck again (hehe). Neil (Nigel Planer) from The Young Ones (who I don't think you've met) and Arnold Rimmer (Chris Barrie) from Red Dwarf (who you haven't met either.. but I hope you watch RD one day - it's one of the best)

2024-10-05 08:57:27 +0000 UTC6th of November darlin ๐, day after bonfire night. I'm looking after our chocolate labs: Willow,(14, old one we saved last year) Ruby (12) and my sister's black lab Diesel. (2) He's a ball of energy, when he was a proper pup he couldnt go more than 10 seconds without getting something he shouldn't have. I know now what it's like to have toddlers haha. I'm at my parents house as they've gone away this weekend for the Newark truck show since they're both drivers.

2024-10-04 11:24:31 +0000 UTC@Jeffrey44 They do now anyway. It definitely wasn't common back in the 1980s though. I think that's why the later series of Red Dwarf bother me with the laughter, but the earlier ones didn't because it was a real audience.
irreverend
2024-10-04 10:55:29 +0000 UTC@DriveIn It was before that, Otis the Aardvark only exists because Toby Antis didn't know what an Aardvark was when the BBC introduced the "Tell that Aardvark, it's a wrap" jingle. Otis was introduced afterwards and was originally mute until he later got a voice. It's actually a very interesting origin story and will probably be made in to a 6 part documentary one day.

All are fun but derived from my name. When I was in highschool friends used to call me the yankee, which in Spanish is pronounced a lot like "junkie" which made the first times confusing.

Mandy Cane Lane
2024-10-03 22:58:00 +0000 UTC'a' = the indefinite article 'the' = the definite article Technically a dictionary is more about how words are used in everyday language, rather than prescribing their exact meanings. Dictionaries typically reflect the way language is used in society at a given time. You did make me laugh when you looked up Aardvark and then said 'Do we need 'em?' :) And also, your observation of those 3 men with Samuel Johnson, being like the 3 little pigs when threatening to break down the door, was very astute. Nice. Yeah I love this episode. "C" - big blue wobbly thing that mermaids live in. LOL. Classic.

2024-10-03 21:54:20 +0000 UTCHagrid was also very briefly in the most recent episode of Phoenix Nights you reacted to. He was seen on the club's new television as they were watching an episode of a show he did called Cracker, in this instance it was dubbed in a language that wasn't English.
Jeffrey44
2024-10-03 20:02:07 +0000 UTCIt's not everyday, granted, but this is the second time I have watched someone find out what an Aardvark is for the first time. In the early '90s, I remember watching TV presenter Toby Antis find out what an Aardvark is live on air, on BBC One. Are you also old enough to remember that? I thought it might be on YouTube but I can't find it.

2024-10-03 19:57:29 +0000 UTCThe word car comes from carriage, specifically motorised carriage
Danny
2024-10-03 19:57:01 +0000 UTCUK TV constantly uses a laugh track. Pointless, The Chase, Countdown, Richard Osman's House of Games, and Tipping Point all use laugh tracks. That's about four hours a day of programmes using laugh tracks. More do than don't, especially nowadays and especially since COVID-19, if anyone else still remembers that.
Jeffrey44
2024-10-03 19:52:34 +0000 UTCIt has to, so that when Blackadder asks for "something between two slices of bread, like Gerald, Lord Sandwich, had the other day" and instead of calling it a 'sandwich' as we all now know is the correct name for such a meal, he calls it a 'gerald' as it was a new invention at the time and he didn't know what it would eventually be known as. The audience laughed so Mandy Cane Lane knows it is funny, even though she can't work out why. The real Lord Sandwich who invented the sandwich was actually called John Sandwich. Who can think of another invention that was once known by one name but was later called something completely different? I tried but I can only think of an 'automobile' becoming a 'car', probably via 'motor car'. There must be better examples.
Jeffrey44
2024-10-03 19:47:29 +0000 UTCThe YouTube comments are odd. You'd think people seeking out reactions to British shows would be better at picking up on when someone's deadpanning a joke...

2024-10-03 18:41:37 +0000 UTCYou remind me of me. Yesterday I took a moment to look up Kevin Bacon's date of birth, and ended up researching the origin of the Universe.

2024-10-03 18:34:05 +0000 UTCRowan Atkinson is not related to the other Atkinson woman. Rowan Atkinson was married to the same woman for over 20 years before famously cheating on her with James Acasters girlfriend and leaving his wife for her.
Danny
2024-10-03 18:16:29 +0000 UTCIt's not technically a laughter track - it is the live studio audience reacting, not a separate recording. UK TV never used recorded laughter - it's always a live audience (well, there may be some rare exceptions, but it's generally the case - people hated canned laughter even back then). A butler is the head of all the servants and runs the "household" - he is the boss of every servant in the house. In the real world, the Prince would have had several dozens of servants and gardeners, footmen, valets, etc, etc, etc. The butler would be the boss of them all. Sadly, Johnson's Dictionary does not have a definition for "Dogsbody", so we can only guess what one is ๐ค. It does contain "Slubberdegullion" however, which it defines as: "a dirty, sorry wretch" - so that seems close enough. Perhaps the credits should have said: "Baldrick: a Slubberdegullion" ?

Danny
2024-10-03 16:16:58 +0000 UTCThe definition of a 'dogsbody' is someone who does random odd things, or just whatever is required of him.

2024-10-03 14:41:42 +0000 UTCI also learned an interesting fact today. Daisy, a 55 kg (121 lb) St. Bernard, climbed Scafell Pike (978 m) with her owner. Once they reached the top, she refused to walk down. A team of 14 rescuers had to carry her down on a stretcher because she couldn't be bothered to walk. She is my new spirit animal. https://iili.io/dbI1nLu.png Great reaction, Mandy. Thank you. ๐ค๐ค

2024-10-03 14:36:08 +0000 UTCDr. Samuel Johnson's dictionary was not actually the first English dictionary, but his was the first to try to include every single word. Also, the sandwich joke basically, Lord Sandwich (the fourth Earl of Sandwich) famously ordered a bit of roast beef between two slices of bread while he was gambling, and this creation became known as a 'Sandwich'! But Blackadder called the creation by Lord Sandwich's first name instead, which did not in fact catch on. Also fun fact, 'Aardvark' is actually Dutch. Aard means Earth, and vark means pig, so it is an earth pig. In German the literal translation would be 'erd verkel' or something like that.

2024-10-03 14:20:58 +0000 UTCFun factโฆ David Mitchel (of Peep show / WILTY fame) used to proof read Dictaneries. (Not sure thatโs the correct spelling.) Youโre right, Thesaurus is a difficult word to say. Insert punchline here โ> ๐
