Behind the Scenes Diary & Photos - Baddie Sketch

This is a really silly sketch, honestly its so stupid I love it. That's two weeks in a row where we've had parts of a sketch that haven't changed an iota from the first draft, which is very rare, AND they made us laugh straight away. Bonus!

I arrive at the same time as Hog on this fine Friday morning, but he runs in ahead of me shouting " you're late! you're late haha" and slamming the doors in my face. Bold boy.

I do love a good early morning improv.

My favourite one to do if i come in just after either of them in the car park, is run after them pretending to be investigative journalist

"How do you respond to the allegations Mr. Finegan?"

He always runs. 

I enter the office and Foil, (usually first in) has already set himself up in a darkened scene seated at a table, (creepily) in stark light, that only covers half of his face

"I've been vayting for u mr. Mckenna"

errr... sorry I'm late??

An awful lot of this sketch is not on the page, but in our collective imaginations. It relies a little more heavily on post production, something that was basically non existent until recently. I've no idea what we are going to do when we go back on tour, and we can't do stuff like this - it'll be back to one shot wonders for a while i suspect!

We're good to go, and I'm back in the hotseat, Herr Director Klaus Van McKenna. Esteemed arthouse sketch director. I used to call Foil Director Hans Movemann, because whenever he wanted us to reposition in a shot, he wouldn't instruct, he'd just put his hands on your shoulder and physically move you. 

ITs fair to say, there's a lot more going on in this sketch than usual. Ideally you'd need a crew of around 4 or 5  to do this, so we're not just double jobbing we're... hang on.. not we're... I'm, I'm quadruple or whatever the 5 version of that is fiveouple? jobbing.. pentouple? - I'm not looking it up. I've just right clicked on fiveouple here on the screen and got "Add to dictionary?" You know what, screw it, I will add it to dictionary. There. Ha.

I'm not giving away spoilers this time by talking about anything else, you lot are too clever!

Hope you enjoy tomorrows sketch as much as how long it took me to edit which was
