The Shy Life Podcast - Episode 246

The Shy Life Podcast - Episode 246

Easter's a bit late this week on the 'Round The Archives' sofa.

Last night we recorded our video about the 'Are You Being Served' episode 'The Apartment' and although the link may not seen obvious at first, Lisa was lucky enough to win a egg in the raffle at work, so we waved it in front of the camera.

We haven't eaten it yet, though!

But we did do some live egg-testing on the evening of Sunday when we recorded some material for this month's live edition of 'The Shy Life Podcast'.

We thought this half hour or so would be all we'd need to do for this edition, bar our usual surreal heckling in the chatroom, but when Paul found that the live stream didn't seem to be working there was some quick thinking needed.

Working with Paul over the years has taught us that technical problems often lead to some interesting solutions. If your co-stars fingers all fall off in the middle of a scene, go with it and use it as a new plotline.

So we were very happy to be asked to be part of a three-way Skype call that included Toppie Smellie (host of 'The Smellcast') in America. The show didn't always cover the ground that Paul had planned, but a bit of improvisation is good for the soul.

Will the live stream be working next month, though?*

There's only one way to find out!
