Verse 1:

If you’re a snowflake, they will save the day

They’re liberal and PC, come what may
Without them, right-wingers would get their way

Refrain:

They’re humourless, boring, pompous wokebros 

They won’t let one little racist joke go

They don’t enforce traditional norms of what constitutes ‘bloke’s clothes’;

They validate the genders other folk chose

Verse 2:

Considerate of the poor and the refugee,
Their distaste for Taiwan Tony is OTT
How can they question such a (brilliant) comedy…?

Refrain (build to crescendo):

They’re humourless, boring, pompous wokebros 

As their response to the fantastic ‘spit on her wrist’ joke shows 

Always talking endlessly about their Corbyn vote woes

I’d like to give them all a broke nose

I was interested to learn that Tikka to Ride was the first episode not produced in front of a live audience.
I can see why they came to this decision. It must have got pretty wearisome having to keep an audience in good spirits through props dept meetings, read throughs, make up tests, camera blocking, location scouting trips, etc etc.
The advantage was of course that it helped to energise some of those production meetings, although some of the crew, namely Howard Burden and Peter Wragg, were notorious for playing up to the audience, and as a result some of their contributions did, at times, become a little too ‘pantomimey’.
We all, of course, know the classic story of the editing sessions for Polymorph. As the boxer shorts scene was being put together in the edit suite, the audience went absolutely wild. Doug Naylor and the audience then left to get pizza, and they laughed all the way to the pizza place, and all the way back again.
I guess that night’s audience got lucky. Back in late 1992, I was in the audience for Rob and Doug’s pre -Series VI meeting with Hattie Hayridge. It was a difficult watch, with very few laughs to be had, and my friends and I felt a little short changed. (Yes I know it was a free ticket, but you get my meaning). Of course 6 years later, I had the privilege of being part of audience who got to sit in Chris Veale’s bedroom while he created the Blue Midget dance sequence. This was Series VIII and the audience was back by popular demand. It was a wonderful night, laughs aplenty and about halfway through his mum came in with sandwiches, fizzy pop and club biscuits.
Anyone here been in the audience for any the production of the specials? No spoilers obviously but just some little teasers would be nice. Someone on another forum I’m in was there for the construction of a new set but he’s sworn to secrecy on what it is. And someone from work’s got an old uni friend who went to watch Doug have a quiet word with Danny about being a bit more careful about how much he gives away on Twitter.
