[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 359615, member: 23"] I hadn't realised this but I can understand why. It's very much the kind of moment that sums up the archetypal [I]Xrds[/I] image to those who only know the series through its reputation, or through spoofs like [I]Acorn Antiques. [/I] As much as I enjoy these little moments, they're actually few and far between (something about which I'm mildly disappointed). Despite the "as live" filming, there are very few noticeable fluffs and those that do happen are invariably worked in really well to make the series feel more natural. This moment with Jenny Tomasin is one of the few times I've noticed an actor breaking character or briefly looking for direction from someone behind the camera. To her credit, she did recover well once she apparently realised they weren't going to cut. No indeed. If it had been weighted it wouldn't have happened (and that would have been a shame as perhaps it's this very rattling tray that inspired all those little Mrs Overall moments). This looks great. I've only watched the "gotcha" moment at the beginning, but I'm looking forward to watching the whole thing when I have a spare half an hour. [/QUOTE]
