Agreed...

you said it!..................

Good of you to drop in, hope you can knock around for quite a while - we're all one happy family here (or so I think)  

Cheers

I guess I've had worse.  Turns out my name means 'donkey' in Sipedi, not a great asset when you're travelling in South Africa.  Sorry, this is way off topic now.

And don't give her Malibu. Ever.

whats a Ad lib?  

To adlib is to make it up as you go along so far as this trade is concerned.

For example, if you've ever seen the Morecambe and Wise sketch with Glenda Jackson as Cleopatra, she does quite a bit of adlibbing in that sketch, namely the unscripted bits.

Sly: "What?"

Barry: "If you were really strong, you could capture both of us, you see..."

Sly: "Yeah... well..."

Barry: leaning casually against the barrier Well, this is a strength potion, you see...

Sly: "Is it beer?"

Barry: "Well, it's almost... tastes like beer, you see..."

Sly: "Well... I dunno..."

Barry: "Well what's the point? It's got no alcohol in it, so..."

Sly: "Well, if it's got no alcohol in it, I'm not interested then..."

Classic.

Something that's said in Knightmare, which can seem so insignificant at the time, can turn out to be one of the defining moments in the programme. According to Hugo, no one was saying Bog Off much at the time, so he credits Knightmare as having another first and starting off the trend, which was nice!  ;D

But when David remembers these catchphrases that he is noted as saying in both KM and HHGG, he seems a bit embarrased about it, as people come up to him and ask him to say "Bog Off" or "I think you ought to know I am feeling rather depressed." But he wouldn't change it for the world, because like everyone else involved in KM, he remembers it so fondly. They all seem to have such a great time making it, and what I wouldnt give to be a fly on the wall during filming!

I'm glad you liked the interviews, they were certainly a great experience to film!  

I'm just re-watching series 5 in prep for next weeks series 5 discussion and some of Pickle's ad-libs had me in stitches.

Just thought I would mention two of them.

After Team 1 finally exchange Brother Mace's bag of coins for a spy glass, (It takes them forever to pluck up the courage to  hand it to Julius Scaramonger!) Pickle turns around to Treguard and says: "The barter system is alive and well Master!"

And then of course there is my favourite. I have mentioned it before and no doubt I will mention it again! Pickle's "I say you lot...Bog Off!" It gets me everytime I watch it!

I was really interested in your interview with David Learner, Debz. He really seems to have thought quite a lot about how to play the character, to have taken it very seriously. And the viewers are rewarded with things like that last one you mention which really flowed from this characterisation. He had a lot of interesting points to make on other topics too, but they probably belong on another thread.

The end of one of the spy glass sequences and LF's giant hand comes down to grab 'em and Treguard says "Lord Fear's playing his hand!"

2 thumbs way, way up!
