I went to a filming of one of those 'Dave one-night stands' a while back.
Christ knows who was on the bill, but they didn't entertain.

I'm sure they've got enough canned laughter on tape to make it sound like everyone was enjoying themselves though.

I was really looking forward to it
and now you've crushed my hopes and dreams.

I hope you're happy.

You might have more fun than I did.
It didn't help that the bar was closed throughout.

Ooh, that's a good question
this has doors open 6:15 - when did yours go on until? I'm getting tickets for me and some mates, they're talking about eating after but now I'm thinking if it goes on late we should grab something beforehand.

We were able to get (upto) 4 tickets for whatever the event was called
It was over subscribed and the queue was massive, so we worked on the basis that we'd eat there.

Big mistake as inside the theatre there was no food or drink available. I think doors were 6.15 for this too, and we queued from about that time before getting in at about 7pm, we were amongst the last to get in and 100s were turned away.

We left early.

But when, Jeff, but when
I can stuff my pockets with flapjacks and fruit if needs be, but if it doesn't let out until 10 I'd feel bad about not warning the others.

I've got no idea what time it finished as I left early.
I was bored with being told to clap for 10 minutes so they could film everyone clapping.

Jeff is mean
but if it helps you at all, a mate of mine went to the filming of something similar (Danny Wallace maybe?) and had a great time. He said it took longer than he expected though.

The taping I went to on Friday went long
fortunately I snarfed a baguette in the BBC Canteen beforehand.

Your mate had a great time because they didn't take YOU with them.
Note, that is 'Jeff being mean', me giving Lighty a fair assessment of a night out isn't me being mean.

*trembly bottom lip*
I said you were mean because you crushed his hopes and dreams. You didn't have to be mean to me too.
