I'm doing the editing for Episode 27 in fits and starts, rather than in one mammoth session, so we snatch a free moment to record a link when we can, allowing me to do some more tinkering before we need to do the next bit.
The running order is now decided upon with our two guest writers giving us a much-needed air of respectability among all our innuendo.
It's not that we don't take our subject matter seriously, it's just that when Warren joins us on the sofa, the Ooer Factor does seem to get suddenly bigger for some reason. I can't think why.
I've just been going through our article on 'Whitechapel' and it's all going along fine until Lisa comes out with the phrase 'she's been helping to man the lines to stop people from interfering with a fireman'...
There is a slight pause and we dissolve into silly giggling, with Lisa making brave attempts to get the piece on track, but this bit will have to be trimmed down and relegated to the out-takes after the end theme music.
I hope people generally stick around for the daft stuff right in the final moments. We always stay for the end credits at the cinema, and if you switch off 'Round The Archives' as the end theme plays, you might have missed some of our sillier moments.
We hope we never come across as self-indulgent, and hope that by trying to get as many Facts Per Minute in our pieces, that compensates for some of the less than professional moments.
We're just glad that we can call upon some people who are capable of taking 'Round The Archives' seriously, even if we don't always manage it!
