Thanks for the reminder, I would have missed it if you hadn't have posted

BBC4 is truly superb.

I screamed out loud when I saw that they were putting this on!

Can't wait...

thepuffin · 02/04/05 - 19:24

One minute in and they've already messed up the lines once!

Isn't live drama superb?

koantemplation · 02/04/05 - 19:35

Cor thank god they got ??? Hill to do the news report and not bleeding Kerplunksky again.

Liked the couple and the reporter 'What were you doing there?'

Is this live as in acted now, or live as in recorded live?

artnada · 02/04/05 - 19:37

I think it's live as in live now

FFS bbc interrupting the programme with that info flash "important announcement on News 24". Why not just say pope is dead, then I wouldn't have had to look and see what it was

Or better still, not put the caption on at all.

I wouldn't have know anything unless I'd read your post. I must have missed the news flashes.
Oh well expect sunday tv to be all about the pope.

Wish the BBC would stop with thier announcements ....

Swipe · 02/04/05 - 20:09

Damn captions. The BBC sure know how to make good stuff and ruin it at the same time

[Deleted User] · 02/04/05 - 20:10

Strewth, they've put the damn caption up AGAIN.

He can't have died twice surely??

tomorrow · 02/04/05 - 20:14

OMG it IS live .....

He just forgot the words .... amazed that its all so good ....

So much for "live for the first time for 20 years!" and we manage to spoil it - surely they could have waited until it had finished ... and why *twice* as those watching it with interest will have seen it the first time. Those who came in after the first announcement can't be real viewers of such an important event as "a live broadcast" which must cost more than filming it.

PS. Almost makes you want to stop watching, as it *does* spoil the enjoyment and disturbs concentration.

Ah damn I missed it. But they could have kept it in even if recorded to make it look live?

tomorrow · 02/04/05 - 20:29

Was that intentional?

Detective: "Stick to the facts" ...exit stage left ...crash ??

mb@2day · 02/04/05 - 20:34

I dont which is scarier , the story ..

....or the actors forgetting their lines !

I bet they have cue cards hidden somewhere

tomorrow · 02/04/05 - 20:37

I thinks its been done amazingly well.

It really does look old fashiioned - some of the actors have amazing amounts of lines but seem to remember them extraordinarily well ....

I'm loving this - the mixture of great / good acting with trying to catch out the missed cues and forgotten lines (rare)

[Deleted User] · 02/04/05 - 20:40

this is live? :eek: :eek: It really doesnt look it! then again ive only just turned it on so havent noticed any mistakes yet. They must have put the visual filters over it in realtime then as it looks like its been processed!

tomorrow · 02/04/05 - 20:40

This really is very, very well done ..... much like it would be as if it were actually happening too

[Deleted User] · 02/04/05 - 20:47

I really want it to start raining on the outside scenes

motor mouth · 02/04/05 - 20:48

Is this actually happening now?

Indeed, as we type

motor mouth · 02/04/05 - 20:51

How can that be? How do they add music in and everything?

But more importantly - Why?

Hey there!
