September 9, 2010 at 9:31 am #110657 Fluffy WokParticipant I haven’t seen one, no one has, but I’m assuming its a dead horse covered in whip lesions September 9, 2010 at 12:10 pm #110665 Danny StephensonKeymaster a dead horse covered in whip lesions? September 9, 2010 at 2:38 pm #110670 Fluffy WokParticipant You see as a joke wears on over a period of a few days, the metaphorical horse gets weaker and weaker until it dies and you’re left just beating a big carcass with a stick September 9, 2010 at 2:42 pm #110671 hummingbirdParticipant Anyone fancy a kebab?

September 25, 2010 at 1:50 am #110777 DanodinParticipant Hmmmm. Surely the only comedy that matters was shooting this week, according to Armando Iannucci. Armando’s involvement really does seal the deal for me. Promisingly, he says they’re ‘typical Alan episodes’ with no mentions of Foster’s within. I don’t mind if it’s just Alan doing a radio show (something new, we can presume, not Radio Norwich) as those segments were always funny, as was, obviously, the Knowing Me, Knowing You radio series. I bet there’s no laughter track… It still riles me that they ‘apologised’ for it’s use on IAP series 2. If anything suited laughter it was IAP series 2! Just imagine the Bond scenes without it or – ‘don’t put your foot on there’ ‘I’m not, I’m just doing a cockney walk!’ – without an audience laugh. It NEEDS the laughter. September 25, 2010 at 11:28 am #110778 Ian SymesKeymaster Who’s “they”? I seem to remember Armando being very stubborn in its defence. September 25, 2010 at 6:20 pm #110781 John HoareParticipant Worth pointing out that the radio show bits in I’m Alan Partridge were shot at on location at Unique’s studios, and then shown to the audience to get the laugh track. So whilst there’s still a debate as to whether the shows will work as well without an audience (and I don’t think they’ll add one), it’s not like Coogan could use the audience for timing or anything. Having said that , I wonder whether the edits on IAP were done with the audience reaction in mind, which could help. One thing I noticed when creating my Partridge soundtrack is that there’s some fairly terrible edits in there, when you’re concentrating on the audio. The start of the Peter Baxendale-Thomas interview is really dodgy, and it’s massively clear that the most famous line in the series is actually: “Oh, f-fuck off!” September 27, 2010 at 1:26 am #110789 DanodinParticipant Just looking at it now Armando actually apologized in a pretty sarcastic way to people who didn’t like the laughter. I must have read that at some point and taken it seriously. It did seem to be an issue at the time, as though people had watched a couple of episodes of The Office or the League series 3 (which I think aired right after Partridge series 2, if I remember) and suddenly forgot that countless sitcoms that came before had audience laughter. September 27, 2010 at 8:58 am #110790 Seb PatrickKeymaster There were even some fucking cretins who complained about the laughter on series 2, as they remembered there not being any on series 1. Even though there was. (nice factoid from the IAP2 commentaries was the fact that despite being a four-walled set, the caravan scenes were shot in front of an audience – the audience looked down on it from above…) September 27, 2010 at 9:33 pm #110791 DanodinParticipant I still can’t believe how realistic the set looks. In the parts between the caravan and the house no-one would say ‘that’s in a studio’, it’s lit to perfection.
