Today, We Have Mostly Been Giggling...

A very late and very short blog post today, as we've spent most of the afternoon and evening working on material for Episode 24 of 'Round The Archives'.

Warren has joined us for a recording session entirely devoted to 'Juliet Bravo' which kicked off with a look at 'Shot Gun', the very first episode. This is a pretty grim affair that gave us a lot to talk about. In fact the raw file runs to about 49 minutes, which oddly is almost the same running time as the episode itself.

Maybe we'd have saved some time if we'd just recorded a DVD commentary instead, but we actually followed the approach we'd used for 'The Gentle Touch' by writing lots of notes as we went along and then trying to remember exactly what the disjointed words were actually referring to.

After a visit to the fish-and-chip shop (Warren had a Jumbo Sausage according to the witnesses) we quickly followed through with 'Teamwork' from the start of Season 4.

As we seemed to be on a roll, we also recorded a quick sketch where Inspector Lisa is holding me for suggesting Naughty Things On Podcasts, though whether she can make this stand up in court remains to be seen.

This sketch led to some serious giggling (even more than the articles themselves) and will need a decent bit of editing. But I think the full version deserves to be the bonus track after the end credits.
So, all in all, lots of good work achieved today, which puts us in a decent position to get Episode 24 out on schedule.

So many thanks to Warren - we always rely on his support...
