I worked on recordings of Round the Horne, The Goon Show and The Navy Lark among others. They were presented before a live studio audience, canned laughter was a much later invention. Are you sure? I have listened to it again and every time he pauses there is hysterical laughter, even though what he said is not really amusing. If there was no 'canning' then the audience must have been pissed.

To be honest John I didn't really listen to it, what I said was based on listening to him playing the character on Round the Horne so in fact it's quite possible that the recording was done separately just for the album and not taken from the live shows, I shall revisit and get back to you.

MikeO Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 @johnh100% not canned, having been in the trade I can smell it a mile off and I despise it. The most obvious thing that proves it is that he pauses for the laughter to die down before continuing right from the start, there's no way that that could have been created artificially, it's his comic timing (which is perfect).

I bow to your experience. Also, his timing may be perfect but his material is crap. No, on reflection - absolute crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Cooker broke on Sunday, fan coming on in the oven and hob still working but oven won't heat up; might be a cheap fix but the thing's more than ten years old so bought a new one from Currys/PC World. Due to be delivered tomorrow but when I got tracking info earlier it said, "Installation: Not purchased" which was wrong because I did pay for installation. When I finally got through to a human on their helpline he couldn't understand how it had happened but that it needed a "techy" crew so it wouldn't be tomorrow but next Thursday, which is a bit of a pain but never mind. Now I've had an email and text saying it's still arriving tomorrow but no installation. Fucked if I'm going to hang around on their phone system for ever to put them straight, if they arrive tomorrow they've made a wasted journey.

rubecula Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 got a few probs with internet just now. Microsoft has blocked my email due to unusual activity and tonight facebook has done the same, so just in case some toe rag has hacked me I will opt out of the system for a day or so. I will return.
