Next Part 2: studio.th-cam.com/users/videoRFeM9JtK0Io/edit
This episode was extremely difficult with copyright so i was forced to separate it into 4 parts. I have all 4 parts uploaded and there will be a link the the description and also a link in my pinned comments and also an clickable-link at the end of each part that will take you to the next part.
Hopefully i dont have to do this for the next episode 😅
The cuts to black are because the story is set over several days in the first part.
Your link is wrong
@@wildwine6400 Thank you!
"One of Torquay's leading Rotarians"
Translation: Torguay (pronounced Tor-Key) is the seaside town in England the show is set in.
A "Rotarian" is a member of the Rotary Club.
The Rotary Club, or Rotary International, is an organization that is in some ways like the Masons but without all the mumbo-jumbo and is not exclusive to men only. Basically its a club for local business owners where they can meet, network, have cookouts and try to do good things for the community. Membership is usually by invitation only.
That "highly strung" bit is my favorite joke in the entire series and not every reactor picks up on it, I love that you did! 😂
That lad is brilliant! How can he keep a straight face?! 🤣🤣🤣
Yes, he should be ...
I like it that you are so fond of Polly and mention her name whenever you see her. She is my love interest as well, a gorgeous lady.
Connie's American, born in Indiana. She's also the co writer of the show.
Fun fact, the actor playing the kid who complained about the food went on to be a chef when he grew up.
That's because he was irritated by the lack of English chefs.
He says: "Colonel and Mrs. Hall, both J.P.'s (Justice of the Peace), and Lionel Twitchen, one of Torquay's leading Rotarians." (of the Rotary Club, an organization which helps local businesses in the area.)
One of the most ICONIC episodes ever. "I will give you a thrashing!"
There is more fades at the start as they are time lapses. It jumps from morning, to dinner, to Thursday in about 5 minutes.
Sybil’s hair went full Marge Simpson this episode!
I'll do my best to explain the fades.
The show was recorded "live" in scene order in front of an audience with the filmed outdoors sections played on monitors at the appropriate time.
The fades were for any scene changes and also allowed foreign TV stations an appropriate section to place TV adverts.
Videotape was very expensive and took up a large part of the shows budget.
Only a certain amount of physical splices for edits were allowed per videotape as splices were not good for playback on the video machines
As such recording the show live reduced the amount of physical edits on the tape.
NOT a Ford Anglia, it’s an Austin 1100 Estate (station wagon).
Designed by the same guy who designed the original Mini.
It was the next model up in the BMC range during the 1960’s.
Oh.. And Polly’s American accent is not bad.. Because Connie Booth IS actually American in real life, she was born in Indianapolis Indiana. And married John Cleese in 1968.
She is American but IIRC she said she had to relearn her American accent because she’d lived here for so long!
Some of these episodes are genius in that they have a build up to the complete hysterical farce , Brilliant writing. 😎🤣🤣
no pausing during show time? .. seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to do to me. It allows time to make comment without missing anything on screen. Are folk complaining about pausing? .. or is there a streamer bible that says: Thou Shalt Not Pause : ?
Fades to black were used then to denote a passage of time.
Also, Connie Booth (Polly) is an American actress😉. She does a great job at doing a British accent for her role...
We in Britain are all looking forward to you watching the episode called “The Germans” which many would say is the best of all 12 but also the episode called “ Waldorf Salad “ which might also have been called “the Americans “. ………..😊
Don't worry about the fuzzy bits around you - you always look great. Love your channel and watch everything... yours is probably the most heard voice in my house!
I know what you mean about the filming of this episode, it always struck me as odd like it was the pilot or the first episode filmed (but it can't be as the Builders episode changed the door layout which this has). Maybe they just had a different director for this episode.
That young lad in the beginning who said the chips are awful is a young Rodney Trotter (Nicholas Lyndhurst) from only fools and horses
No, it's not Nicholas Lyndhurst.
So so good this series, shame only 2 seasons. Also great to see Yes Minister on the channel, another favourite of mine. You’d enjoy open all hours 👍🏼 enjoy the ride
"Rotarian" - member of Rotary Club, often used as a shortcut way of identifying someone as a member of the local "Establishment"
This is my favourite episode by far.
The episode feels a bit different because it's from the second series. This was four years later.
As others have mentioned, the cuts to black were simply fade-out fade-in scenes changes to another part of the day or to other days.
feel free to pause during "Showtime", it's your comments that make it interesting! Also, "My names Connor...have I already said that?" is becoming a catchphrase !
Fun fact.. Star Wars was the first significant use of Bluescreen tech. When filming Superman, they rapidly found separating a blue super suit from a blue background was virtually impossible, so they used a greenscreen instead, which continued to be used from that point on
Blue screen for film (which is optical) is quite different from blue screening for TV/vlogging (which is electronic).
Film uses matte, which is where a background and foreground are composited together in a photographic development lab.
The other type was invented by the BBC’s R&D team in 1969 and I think Doctor Who was the first major user of it, if it wasn’t then it was certainly one of the first.
@@stickytapenrust6869it's the same tech, there is no difference other than the introduction of digital processing, the same as all aspects of film making. It's origin is entirely from the analogue era. It' alike saying photoshop is wildly different from film or printing in a darkroom.. it isn't, it's just the natural tech progression -source.. from photo/vid industry
@@kosh6612 It isn’t the same tech at all. As I said, one is optically done on a matte in film processing, the other is electronic, at that time done through tapping into the RGB signals from the camera and replacing the output of the blue channel with the image from another camera or source. Unlike film, it wasn’t done in the editing suite, it was done in the recording session.
They may be the same or similar *now* (because films are shot as digital files rather than on optical film), but as films are shot as digital files now, the same as TV, the TV method is now the de-facto way to do it. Albeit now with green screen, as digital responds better to green than the blue used in the days of analogue electronics.
The method used on Star Wars and everything else using blue-screen on optical film was matte, not the CSO/Chroma-key used on TV at the time and in both TV and film of today.
Reference: I’m a broadcast engineer for Sky in Osterley.
Don't mind a bit of an obscured screen, I understand why it is. But that is a bit too much. That bottom picture of Napoleon needs to be background, not foreground.
Unwatchable 👋
The funny thing is Andrew Sachs (Manuel) is German born in Berlin.
A media crew at work told me that the closer the green screen is to you, the fuzzier your outline will be x
By second series they were separated
That awful mother shows that such types existed even 50 years ago. I'd love to see what happened to spoiled brat Ronald when he came across the reality of the world as an adult.
I am sure something awful happened to Ronald the spoiled brat, he ended up high strung in the wrong shape, and just awful.
@@scipioafricanus5871 Well, at least it's fresh awful.
The transitions are different in this episode, so it calls for cuts and blackouts not seen in other episodes.
00:03 I preferred future Conner, present Conner was stilted (he also mentioned the word 'green' too many times...I hate the word green).
You should both work on that.
11:26 A Rotarian isa member of the Rotary Club. Membership is by invitation only & depends on certain social factors. This appeals to Basil’s snobbishness.
... and a "JP" is a "Justice of the Peace", a local magistrate who volunteers to give up time as a service to the community to sit in judgement in a magistrate's court where offenders accused of minor offences are tried and sentenced.
That lad did a splendid spoilt brat. The parents could do with a whack!
Morris 1100
Yes, Morris or Austin. Same car but what was called "Badge engineering" by BMC, the forerunner to Leyland cars.
Austin 1100 cc
morris 1100
WHY are we only seeing a small image of the video? For those of us who like Fawlty Towers, it's bloody annoying!!!
So that the TH-cam copyright ID system doesn’t pick up enough of the clip to block it worldwide (as most popular BBC shows are set to do).
😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
I think the car is an Austin Maxi
It’s an Austin 1100, not a Maxi.
@@stickytapenrust6869 Thanks!
The car is an Austin Maxi one of the worst cars Britain has evwe produced.
No, it’s an Austin 1100 (sometimes badged as the Morris 1100).
