Behind the Scenes Photos (Thurs Sketch 6/5/21)
Added 2021-05-04 12:20:31 +0000 UTC"Does anyone have a script?..."
Its Thursday at noon, and we're filming on Friday. Usually we'd have a big backlog of scripts, some we're keeping, others needing re-drafts and many (oh so many )that have been rejected out of hand in previous months, but start to look a lot more attractive as the pool of options diminishes.
Today, however, we're looking for something new and there is a script! Oh to be thankful for my hard drive, and my NEVER delete anything policy. Who knows when it will be of use! If it were that tv show hoarders i'd be the guy crawling through the tiny opening in the old newspapers to get to that single armchair beside the cooker, computer data speaking of course...
"The worst job on the battlefield." We get to work. Its a new style of script, in that its all about re-creating that scene authentically - a challenge for Hog, our resident set designer and costume acquirer. It's lockdown, so nothing is open! - however a few phone calls later, and a favour is done. We have costumes, free of charge. Some people really are so kind. The set is constructed from old tarps and wooden planks, he even source a massive cart wheel - I asked no questions.
We had to replace a microphone, (thanks to you guys on Patreon we can!), and we're experimenting with really low light on this shoot. I'm sure you all know at this point that technology is NOT our strong suit, but, we are persistent... The result you see this Thursday will hopefully be funny in a different way - not gags, puns or relatable material, but something a bit different. I do hope you enjoy it. I'm off to edit it now!
Take care Patreoners

The "costume on top, shorts on the bottom" look IS ridiculous, but let's face it: the historically accurate bottom half of that outfit would have been VERY TIGHT breeches, so he's going to be showing off his legs either way. 😉 (Also, a date of 16-anything is waaay too early for those outfits! 🤣)

2022-05-15 22:52:16 +0000 UTCI love your sets I think they are perfect. I love the minimalism, the improvisation, just everything about them works. One of my favourite sketches is in one of your live shows where you use paper bags - they have so many uses as military hats, bonnet, nose bag for the horse, they inform the scenes that sketch so well, terrific simple, minimalistic props. I love your skill and abilities to use anything and make it meaningful and funny.
