one of many.... spike miligna the well known typing error
I was doing my old day job and exited the broom cupboard full of gear I kept running, only to see Spike Milligan in the corridor right in front of me.
I must have looked shocked as he mock recoiled and asked " do you work here?" er....yes. "YOU POOR SOD!" and he walked on.
They had been recording this which I discovered a month ago and the memories flooded back:

Which is a tribute to the editors art. You can just see some flow interruptions , but how they made something this joined up from the recording sessions?

The presenter was useless, pretentious and patronising, and Spike was wound up and on it, every time dickhead was on autocue he wagged a finger at him just out of shot going: do-do-do-do-do...... to put him off, not that he needed it.
We were in tears with all the asides that went over dimboy`s head

You may detect some of the atmosphere from finished assembly. That was normally a one take as live, with presenter drop ins and fluff retakes to tidy it up, early bath and lunch. Not this time.
