So that's one. 15 00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:42.000 Was that good? 16 00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:44.520 Yeah it was really good. Busy, I bet yeah, but 17 00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:48.439 really good. We saw the wonderful delights of Bewitched. If 18 00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:51.479 anyone knows any songs by them, they manage to fill 19 00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:53.359 forty minutes with their one song. 20 00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:57.159 So what song is that, se LEVI, Oh, I don't 21 00:00:57.200 --> 00:00:57.479 know it. 22 00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:02.079 I'm not going to sing it. This may be about karaoke, 23 00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:03.439 but I do not do I was going. 24 00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:05.239 To say, give them. Given the nature of the episode, 25 00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:06.959 I was wondering if we should sing the whole thing. 26 00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:13.719 But we may lose our listeners at my end at least. Anyway, 27 00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:16.680 did you get try anything that we can't? 28 00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:18.920 Well, yeah, I went, me and my boyfriend, we went 29 00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:21.760 to stay with my parents for a few days so 30 00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:23.840 that they're basically they're in the process of in the 31 00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:26.480 long term, in the process of retiring to the countryside, 32 00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:30.400 and so we Yeah, we went to stay in their 33 00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.519 nice country house. That makes it sound really fancy. It's 34 00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:35.400 not that fancy. 35 00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:37.239 Yeah, I'm seeing High Claire and everything like. 36 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:43.799 Yeah, my parents are moving to Downton Abbey and they're 37 00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:46.879 going to have servants anyway. Yeah, so that was nice. 38 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:49.840 It's nice just to you know, do some cozy little 39 00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:51.400 things like holiday things, isn't it. 40 00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:52.040 Yeah. 41 00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:54.519 We played a game that I really enjoyed. I think 42 00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:55.159 you'd like it. 43 00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:02.120 That's our Danes in the Country Pile. Yeah. 44 00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:05.439 It's it's a little game with cards. It's called Shot 45 00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:06.000 in the Dark. 46 00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:06.879 Okay. 47 00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:10.319 It's basically a quiz kind of thing where they give 48 00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:12.400 you a question, then you have to all say a 49 00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:14.400 number that you think the answer is, and then whoever's 50 00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.280 closest gets the point. All right, Yeah, and yeah, it's 51 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:18.400 quite right up my street. 52 00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:19.560 Sounds good. I love it. 53 00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:22.080 Quiz One of the questions, for example, was how many 54 00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:23.599 muscles are there in your fingers? 55 00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:31.360 Oh Jesus, but each one are all fingers combined all together? Muscles? Well? 56 00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:31.840 Are there? 57 00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:34.360 That was yeah that No, there aren't any. That was 58 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:37.039 the trick of the question, that there are. They're all 59 00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:38.039 in your hands, the ones. 60 00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:39.840 That forearms, aren't they. 61 00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:43.599 Yeah, so that was fun when point yeah, you get 62 00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:46.439 a point. Yeah. There's also one that I thought was interesting, 63 00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:48.120 which I've not heard of before, but it said the 64 00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:51.759 shortest ever war was fought between the UK and Zanzibar 65 00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:55.080 in eighteen ninety six, and it was how long did 66 00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:55.520 it last? 67 00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:59.199 I did know this. I do remember this being a fact. 68 00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:01.120 It's all of like forty minutes, isn't it. 69 00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:03.879 Yeah, you're two minutes off. It's thirty eight minutes. Yeah. 70 00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:07.879 I just thought that was fascinating. Yeah. 71 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:10.039 I do remember it being stupidly short. I thought I 72 00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:13.280 was over exaggerating how short it wasn't Yeah, that's about 73 00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:15.120 as long as it takes to get together the paperwork 74 00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:17.360 to sign that it's over right exactly. 75 00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:21.719 Yeah. So yeah, I like that game. This is not. 76 00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:23.680 It's not an advert. It's not sponsored, but. 77 00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:26.159 Please sponsor us. 78 00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:30.280 Yeah, what was our episode title from last week? 79 00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:31.080 What was it? 80 00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:37.039 Let's have a little flashback. Shall we break well? Breaking in? 81 00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.919 But then she says technically not breaking in? Yeah, because 82 00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:42.719 their boyfriend Simon said that all professors keep a spare 83 00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:43.759 key above their glory. 84 00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:47.240 Hold, hang on, hang on the episode, Simon says not. 85 00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:53.639 Simon said, let's try that again. Professor Squire's has gone 86 00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:55.800 to these judges and says that it's a you, not 87 00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.120 a V in this word, and Simon says, it's a you. 88 00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:02.000 There we go, that's more like it. 89 00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:04.639 If we could trick you all. 90 00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:06.479 Yeah, you think red Herrings. 91 00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:09.360 We're getting we're getting too cocky with this. 92 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:09.800 We are. 93 00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:12.919 Yeah, it'll bit us on the ass when we get 94 00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:18.560 to pairds watch for Phobia sail alone Hide, Yeah exactly. 95 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:23.800 But yeah, we put off talking about this long enough. 96 00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:26.920 I know. Yeah. 97 00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:32.000 So we're back this week with Empty Orchestra, episode four 98 00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:34.079 of series three, and. 99 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:36.680 Our souls are empty as well from having watched it. 100 00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:40.000 It might be a bit of a downer episode. This 101 00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:41.360 is not one of my favorites. Guys. 102 00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:44.759 Yeah, let's let's be cool so I didn't really remember 103 00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:49.839 much about it, but yeah, having rewatched it twice for this, Yeah, 104 00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:52.920 it's probably not one of my favorites either, But that's 105 00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:55.600 not to say that it's completely worthless. 106 00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:58.759 No, and I'll be honest. I did enjoy it more 107 00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:00.079 than I remembered enjoying. 108 00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:01.560 It fair enough. That's good. 109 00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:04.120 I mean, it's still not one of my favorites by 110 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:04.879 a long stretch. 111 00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:05.720 Oh, definitely not. 112 00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:08.800 But it was better than I remember it being. Okay, 113 00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:10.519 so that's a bonus. 114 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:11.879 It is a bonus. 115 00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:15.600 Yeah, But two inside number nine wiki for a synopsis, 116 00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:19.000 Roger celebrates his promotion with a full on old school 117 00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:24.639 karaoke session. What ensues is an evening of hopes, dreams, betrayal, intrigue, romance, 118 00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:26.639 and an awful lot of singing. Can you tell I 119 00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:27.439 don't read these before? 120 00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:31.240 I I was just thinking what you said, an awful 121 00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:32.920 lot of singing. You could phrase it a lot of 122 00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:33.600 awful singing. 123 00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:38.879 Yeah, yeah, it works both ways. I do like that 124 00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:40.560 it's sort of an attempt at a sort of a 125 00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:44.959 musical episode, and normally a fan of a musical, yeah, 126 00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:48.120 I'm not such a fan of jukebox musicals no, so. 127 00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:50.040 Yeah, I did. I read as well that this was 128 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:54.439 intended originally to be fully musical. Yeah, but they obviously 129 00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:56.000 they couldn't get that to work. 130 00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:58.480 No, there's some some of these things like the like 131 00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:00.160 quite night in where you're like, what can we and 132 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.959 then they manage it this would I can't see that working. 133 00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:07.160 That would never have worked. No, I'm not sure for 134 00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:10.319 me how well the musical aspect of it works, like hmmm, 135 00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:12.920 because I think the idea obviously is that whatever songs 136 00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:15.319 come up are supposed to be sort of relevant, and 137 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:18.199 you know, and they are a little bit, but it 138 00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:20.759 doesn't feel to me like they're really sort of advancing 139 00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:21.680 the story in any way. 140 00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:24.839 They're not. No, it's just like, oh aren't we sad? 141 00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:28.439 Or hear's a song about something that references a sad thing. Yeah, 142 00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:30.839 it's not really adding any extra nuance to it. 143 00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:35.319 I did like the line from Steve's characters, Oh, it's 144 00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:36.959 not just going to be one song after another. Is 145 00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.959 it sums up the episode? Really, doesn't it? Yeah? 146 00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:42.079 And my dad's view on musicals in general. 147 00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:48.519 I remember watching Oliver or something like that with my 148 00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:51.639 mum once and her saying, but what I don't understand 149 00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:56.120 is how do they all know the dance moves? Yeah? 150 00:06:56.360 --> 00:07:00.720 Yeah, that's my sister as well, pretty the same thing. 151 00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:04.639 I mean, it's a valid question. 152 00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:10.319 But yeah, I'm never sure how much it was straining 153 00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:12.959 too much into just about musicals. But how much of 154 00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:17.040 what is in the musical in a song is actually 155 00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:19.639 really happening? Yeah, and how much how much is sort 156 00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:23.160 of imaginary? Exactly what's really happened in the last three 157 00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:24.360 minutes exactly. 158 00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:26.879 I think when it comes to musicals, you can't be 159 00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:30.000 looking too much into the reality of it. It's just 160 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:33.560 it's a It's a medium to tell a story, isn't it. Yeah, 161 00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:34.759 but I know what you mean. 162 00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:39.480 What are your thoughts on karaoke? By the way, are 163 00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:40.399 you karaoke. 164 00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:44.199 In general as a as a concept. 165 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:45.600 It's something you enjoy? 166 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:48.399 Well, I've never. I've never really done it, like I've 167 00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:51.040 I don't have a life, so I've never. I've never 168 00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:53.199 gone out and sung it myself. 169 00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:58.040 Yeah, I've only ever done at house parties. Yeah, I 170 00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:01.399 hate it though. For me, it's just it's just mothers 171 00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:05.759 absolutely ruining abba songs and straight guys. Butcher miss the 172 00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:08.680 bright side. It's just and sweet Caroline. That's all they 173 00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:09.600 seems to want to sing. 174 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:11.720 Over and now, yeah, there are staples, aren't they that 175 00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:12.519 people just go to? 176 00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:15.759 Yeah, and I'm told I can't carry tune in a bucket, 177 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:18.199 so ah, well, yeah. 178 00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:20.199 I can't vouch for that because I've not heard you sing, 179 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:24.360 but think yourself lucky. Yeah, I mean, I quite like singing. 180 00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:26.519 I run the choir at school that I work at. 181 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:29.079 But it's like, yeah, I know what you mean. I 182 00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:30.759 don't know. I guess it's something just people just do 183 00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:32.919 when they're drunk, and it's just like it's never going 184 00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:33.879 to sound great, is it. 185 00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:36.519 No, that's the thing for me. I'm just I'm too 186 00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:40.799 embarrassed that I'm like, I'm not arrogant or obnoxious enough 187 00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:44.080 to think that I'll put for people through this and 188 00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:47.120 they'll just want to deal with it. My ideal karaoke 189 00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:51.360 song is something instrumental, I feel, or at best, like 190 00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:52.440 the Tequila song. 191 00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:56.200 Four minutes thirty three by John Cage. Yeah yeah, I 192 00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:58.720 wind Ben up sometimes when he's singing, and I'm like, 193 00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:06.240 do you requests like something instrumental? So our number nine 194 00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:12.399 is a karaoke room in a karaoke booth club or something. 195 00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:14.879 Yeah, yeah, which I like it's a bit different. 196 00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:17.759 It is different. Yeah, you can say that for it, definitely. 197 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:21.159 And everyone's in fancy dress, yes. 198 00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:24.279 Which adds an extra nice little layer to it. Yeah, 199 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:26.240 it would be quite boring if they were all just 200 00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:27.960 there in their work gear, I suppose. 201 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:32.039 Yeah, yes, it would be even more boring. 202 00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:35.279 Yeah. It helps differentiate the people a bit, it does. 203 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:38.639 I'm going to mess up everyone's names, but yeah. 204 00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:42.519 Okay. So we've got Greg who's played by Reese Yes, 205 00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:49.320 Sumo man, which so that mostly they're dressed like pop stars. 206 00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:52.399 Yes, except oh he was he was thinking he was 207 00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:54.840 a side from Gangnam Style, wasn't he apparently? 208 00:09:54.919 --> 00:10:00.919 Yeah? So yeah, interesting. And then you've got conn Connie. 209 00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:07.000 That is God, she's awful. Oh, I think she might 210 00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:09.080 be one of the worst characters in the whole series 211 00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:11.559 for me, how horrible she is for no reason. 212 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:13.879 That's the bulk of my notes that just she is 213 00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:18.480 such a bitch, disgusting. Yeah, played brilliantly. 214 00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:22.440 Just horrible, horrible person to someone that's well, I suppose 215 00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:24.799 we don't know the backstory. Janet for all we know, 216 00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:27.279 might be an awful person, but as far as we know, 217 00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:29.320 she just hates her for no reason at. 218 00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:30.559 All for being deaf. 219 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:34.639 Yeah, yeah, vile person, oh awful? 220 00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:36.559 I mean yeah, I have plenty to say about her. 221 00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:37.960 We'll come to that as we get through it. 222 00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:42.159 But who else we've got. We've got fran Fran the Great, 223 00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:45.480 Sarah Headland, yes as Britney Spears. 224 00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:49.159 I guess yes, I think I recognized them all who 225 00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:51.960 they were dressed as, apart from Janet is apparently boy George, 226 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:53.720 Boy George. Yeah, yeah, I didn't get that one. 227 00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:54.879 Culture Club Days. 228 00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:58.480 Yeah, okay, I'm so out of my comfort zone with 229 00:10:58.519 --> 00:10:59.360 this episode. 230 00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:04.240 Dwayne as Michael. 231 00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:05.679 Jackson yet got that one? Yeah? 232 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:08.480 And Roger as. 233 00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:11.559 Himself himself, the clown knows. 234 00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:14.919 The clown knows and one of his best accents. Oh 235 00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:16.759 my god, I can't wait for all your impressions. 236 00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:20.639 It's so broad. It's so broad. I have to say something. 237 00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:26.679 I can't watch Roger without thinking of my colleague, right, who, 238 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:29.240 funnily enough, is the one person at work that I've 239 00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:31.759 talked to about Inside Number nine because he quite likes 240 00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:35.000 recent Steve's work. And he said to me that he 241 00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:37.679 watched this episode and he quite liked it. And I 242 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:40.240 didn't really say much more about it, but I'm now 243 00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:42.960 wondering if he watched it and he just recognized himself 244 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:46.080 in it because he looked he is exactly like my colleague, 245 00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:52.360 even the brummy accent, the glasses that the hair like. Yeah, 246 00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:57.799 I hope he doesn't listen to this, but yeah, the 247 00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:00.399 accent is crazy, isn't it. And I love the fact 248 00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:04.080 that they chose what snake what they're going to see 249 00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:08.240 because it's so perfect in their nextcent wart Snake. 250 00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:15.000 Box at the Royal Albut oh, bless him. Yeah, it 251 00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:17.879 is a funny old accent. Yes, and it's just certain 252 00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:20.840 words that he so goes the town on with, Yes, 253 00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:26.759 especially his little speech towards the end. So we start 254 00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:30.200 with Reese, So what forgot first? Don't you want me? 255 00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:30.840 Human league? 256 00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:31.360 Yes? 257 00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:37.879 With him and and Connie mm hm, oh they're just gross. Yeah. 258 00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:40.879 It's bad enough that he's having an affair, but to. 259 00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:47.480 Rubbing in her face like almost I think I think 260 00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:50.919 Connie is slightly worse than Greg with it, because you know, 261 00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:53.639 he's he's trying to hide it a little bit, but 262 00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:56.519 she obviously she's got an interest in it, falling to 263 00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:57.879 bits finding out anyway. 264 00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:00.000 Yeah, so just doesn't care? 265 00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:06.080 No, Oh god, she's awful. Oh she's so bad. We 266 00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:08.320 all know people like that as well. That's the thing, like, 267 00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:10.360 oh my god, this is it. 268 00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:13.080 The worst people are there's so many of them. It's 269 00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:14.960 not like the worst people are the Hitler's out there, 270 00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:18.559 like obviously they're bad, but the really bad, the bad 271 00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:22.720 people are just everywhere like her, just day to day. Yeah, 272 00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:25.000 just like, why are you making life harder than it 273 00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:25.399 needs to be? 274 00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:29.759 Yeah, well, she's obviously got issues and confidence issues of 275 00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:32.600 her own. I think that's why she's trying to pull 276 00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:34.480 other people down and make herself feel better. But yeah, 277 00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:37.679 it's disgusting. Just want to slap. 278 00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:40.200 Her as as friend does. 279 00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:46.279 Oh yes, good, I can understand as well. I can 280 00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:50.440 understand why Greg perhaps isn't the happiest with Fran because 281 00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:52.440 she is. She is a bit irritating. 282 00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:55.320 Well, she seems nice enough. 283 00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:58.399 She oh she's nice. But yeah, maybe I'm just being harsh. 284 00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:02.320 But no, you do you feel sorry for her? Like 285 00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:05.080 skipping way ahead? But when she gets promoted at the 286 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:08.360 end and she immediately likes hugging him and bouncing up 287 00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:09.840 and down and can we look for a bigger flat 288 00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:12.679 now and all that. Yeah, and obviously the dramatica and 289 00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:16.240 you know what's going on. Yeah, it's quite sad. 290 00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:19.960 Yeah, yeah, bless her. But it's the fact that it's 291 00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:23.440 sounder knows that. Yeah, it's just extra crawl. 292 00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:26.879 And I do question, like, does she really have no idea? 293 00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:30.840 Is she really that oblivious? I guess so, considering how 294 00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:33.480 much she reacts when she finds out, because yeah, but 295 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:36.559 it does seem like so screamingly obvious. 296 00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:38.639 Well, yeah, they don't seem to be hiding it, but 297 00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:40.879 then they are drinking, so I suppose maybe they're more 298 00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:44.679 careful normally, Yeah, because they do that thing that really 299 00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:47.039 annoys me in TV stuff where we'll talk to each 300 00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:49.840 other in the same room as someone else when there's 301 00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:52.000 no music playing and they can't hear us because they're 302 00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:54.879 not in the camera shop. Yeah, and everyone to be 303 00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:56.360 able to hear what's going on in that room, it's 304 00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:59.919 on of like four meters square at most. 305 00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:03.759 Yeah, I know, you know what I mean, because. 306 00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:06.360 I know obviously it hinges on Janet being able to 307 00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:10.320 lip read, but she could have picked that up regardless. Yeah, 308 00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:12.279 she knows exactly what's going on. She doesn't need to 309 00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:13.519 be able to read what they're saying. 310 00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:17.039 Oh, no, that's a good point. Actually, the lip read 311 00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:20.279 thing is this big reveal of oh gosh, she's understood 312 00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:23.159 everything that we've said, but you know, she's seen you 313 00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:25.919 kissing him and putting your hand down the back of 314 00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:28.960 his costume and all that. Like, yeah, it's not exactly 315 00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:29.759 rocket science. 316 00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:32.639 And also how much of a big reveal can it be? 317 00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:34.879 Surely they would know she can lip read if they 318 00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:37.840 work with her exactly. I don't really get that. 319 00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:40.120 Well, no, with I think with Connie, it's the idea 320 00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:43.759 that she has no interest in her. I suppose she 321 00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:48.159 wouldn't she and she thinks she's stupid and this and that. Yeah, yeah, 322 00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:51.000 I suppose she wouldn't have even wouldn't even cross their mind, 323 00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:54.039 I think. But it's even that face she does when 324 00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:55.919 she says I can lip read, and then Connie just 325 00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:58.240 obviously it's an audio medium. I can't do an impression 326 00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:03.919 of it, but that face, yeah, like so what yeah, ugh, 327 00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:06.679 slap slap her. 328 00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:09.399 Yeah. I'm glad that this is one of the few 329 00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:12.159 episodes that sort of has a happy ending, which is nice. Yeah, 330 00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:14.039 I know we're jumping ahead, but it's all right. 331 00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:14.840 Yeah, it is. 332 00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:17.000 Rare that we get them with a happy ending and 333 00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:20.480 the right people get the right come upances and m And. 334 00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:22.440 That's one of the things that makes it not feel 335 00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:26.120 very insudnum benign y. Yeah, I mean all the stuff 336 00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:29.799 where usually there would be these sort of perilous moments 337 00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:31.679 for it all to go wrong and horribly wrong and 338 00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:34.600 dark and this and that. You know, so we've got 339 00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:38.720 Dwayne has got these pills. But yeah, you know that 340 00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:40.440 could have been and that could have be an opportunity 341 00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:44.559 for something quite dark to take over, but they kind 342 00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:45.360 of sidestep that. 343 00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:47.480 I think the first time I watched it, I expected 344 00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:50.399 someone was going to die m from some sort of 345 00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:53.879 reaction to whatever these drugs are that they've got. But 346 00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:55.720 I guess that in itself is the twist that there 347 00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:59.480 isn't a twist as such. Yeah, and it is just 348 00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:04.279 quite mundane and boring. The guy's getting divorced in someone's 349 00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:06.079 and he's leaving. That's about it. 350 00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:09.200 And also, you know, we've just had the riddle of 351 00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:13.039 the Sphinx's I'm getting cut off and eating and all that, Like, 352 00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:14.319 where do you go from there? 353 00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:17.759 I remember reading that exactly was the quote for Steve 354 00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:18.599 Gabe exactly. 355 00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:21.640 Yeah, you've got to do something different, So that's what 356 00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:22.039 they did. 357 00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:26.160 Yeah. Yeah, and it is like I always said before, 358 00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:29.279 with the like Nana's Party type episodes, just a group 359 00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:33.039 of people, drama situation like the stage play, the ape 360 00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:36.440 Bonnie type thing of the interplay between the people and 361 00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:40.960 it's something going to happen thing. Again, I'm not a 362 00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:44.720 fan of but I guess people are. So. I was 363 00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:47.200 surprised having a look online that this is not a 364 00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:50.759 particularly massively loved episode, but there are people that say 365 00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:54.119 it's one of their favorites. Yeah, find wild. I stumbled 366 00:17:54.119 --> 00:17:55.839 across a Reddit thread where people were saying how they 367 00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:56.559 love it so much. 368 00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:58.880 Yeah, well, good for those people. 369 00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:02.000 Yeah, yeah, don't understand it, but good for them. 370 00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:05.039 Yeah. And if you're listening and you think we're tearing 371 00:18:05.079 --> 00:18:07.599 it to shreds and you love it, then sorry, we 372 00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:11.240 are sorry. You know, I think we are trying not 373 00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:13.720 to be too yeah, too harsh. But you know, that's 374 00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:18.119 the wonderful thing about opinions that we can all have different. 375 00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:21.039 Months and anthology programs, yes, so that you can have 376 00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:23.720 an entirely different story every week and you might not 377 00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:26.400 chime with one, but you will be next week's or 378 00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:28.920 vice versa. I'm sure there's plenty of episodes that we've 379 00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:33.279 raved about that people hated. So what forgot? What song 380 00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:35.720 have we gotten next? Saturday Night? Oh my god, lady, 381 00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:37.640 hell that song goes on for ages? Please? No. 382 00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:41.079 If I had to hear Sarah Hadlin going Saturday Day 383 00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:42.200 night again. 384 00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:44.920 She watched the words on the screen. She's not even 385 00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:49.400 singing the words and over again. Yeah, they do have 386 00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:51.359 a few more. I mean, there aren't many more words, 387 00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:53.079 but there are more than she bothers to sing. 388 00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:55.079 I think I'm going to be going to sleep with 389 00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:57.359 that looping in my head Saturday night. 390 00:18:59.880 --> 00:19:02.039 I do remember thinking that the continuity must have been 391 00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:05.039 a nightmare in this because if they had to cut 392 00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:07.200 from a different angle like yes, and obvious the music 393 00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:09.599 will be added on later, but the words have to 394 00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:11.119 be in the right place exactly. 395 00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:13.960 Yeah, I believe it was quite a technical nightmare. 396 00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:15.240 Yeah, but it was. 397 00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:17.400 And I think they all had they all had hidden 398 00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:20.759 ear pieces with the track playing right, so they could 399 00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:21.480 do it that way. 400 00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:23.440 But yeah, sinking it up to the words, yeah, because 401 00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:25.000
