I hope everyone enjoyed our acting during the re-filming of the music
bonuses :-)

What, all that business about the clarinets sounding very Beethovenish,
you mean?

Re-filming? When did that start? In my day we did it all in one
take, with no chance of covering up embarrassing fluffs or other
antics. But then Mr Gascoigne was _such_ a professional. Not like
that journalist chappie that they have these days. Oh, and we had to
win 3 times just to get through to the second round. Young people
today just don't know they're (cont p.94)

That's the one! We were rather proud of our fake erudition :-)
There's also a wonderful moment where Patrick says of one "It sounds
nineteenth century" and Aaron replies "Well, he said it was 1871". To
which Patrick pointed out: "No he didn't." Paxo had only given that piece
of information on the *first* time we filmed it!

comment on it in town in a few minutes!)

The embarrassing fluff was that part of the audience seating fell apart
with a very loud clanging noise. It would have been retrievable, had we
all not stopped, stared, and Patrick said "Hmm. I don't remember that in
the recording *I* own..."
More amusing was the retake of Univ's "muffle the drum" answer.
Apparently, that nice Mr Gerrard said it with insufficient conviction, and
so had to refilm. (The question was the W. H. Auden poem from Four
Weedings and a Funnel). Every time, Paxman was expecting him to say
"Muffin the Mule", and so cracked up. It took about 20 retakes for 3
words.

Well done lad, especially as "Muffin The Mule" was way before your day.
Must say, I had absolutely no idea about all these re-takes.
That's television for you...a fake medium, if ever I heard of one.
Like those "noddies" they have to film (apparently) for head to head
interviews. Far better to adopt the old "Face to Face" technique
of only ever showing the person being interviewed....watch his reaction
when being asked the question, as well as while answering it. I
don't want to see the interviewer's face (unless by some miracle
it were Charlotte Green's...), and especially not doing "noddies"!
Back to UC....nice to hear that Paxo is human enough to crack up...
...he comes over as a rather stern uncle, not the one that
took you to the fair and let you eat far too much of what was not
good for you.
Anyway, rattling good contest, and I look forward to the next episode...
