Terrorville As Heard On Reboot

Hello there

Right, full disclosure, I'm agonising about whether or not I've shown you this before.

I've been through the uploaded videos and couldn't see it anywhere obvious, but it seems bizarre that when I was showing you bits from Terrorville  I'd have missed this couple of scenes out (one of which I'm not even in which is disgraceful and the reason it never got a second series).

I went searching for this on the old hard drive (that I've still not managed to fix to work with my latest computer - couldn't follow any of the instructions graciously flung my way because I am - at heart - a luddite), because it was discussed in a very recent episode of the Reboot podcast.

This is the scene where I got badly injured on set, although the take used in the footage is the first time I made the dive without getting hurt. I rather suspect that the second I got injured, the producer ran through to the VT dept and told them to immediately delete all evidence of their negligence. I'm only half-joking.

Now, we all know this is rubbish telly, but I did get a reminder of how much post-production fiddling went on with Terrorville, particularly on the audio foley front.  The amount of sound added to this makes a naff bit of telly into an awful bit of telly and myself and the other boys should bear no blame for this over-tinkering.  We did write the scripts though, so am sorry for that.  In our defence, this sort of thing was hilarious in the late nineties.

Hope your week is going brilliantly well already and feel free to leave chastising comments if I have showed you this footage before.  Or if you are just angry that you've wasted a few minutes of time watching it. Or if you just wanna kick a guy when he's down.

Lots of love from here, which will always beat hate I'm told.
