| Comment: It began as a game for the holiday in Portmeirion that year. What transpired was 30 minutes of hilarious video, which delightfully was purely "adlibbed" The rounds were steered in a general direction, after which it was the creative genius of the participants which transposed the magic. If ever there was a case for no script whatsover. |
| The Bottom Line: It amazes me that I thought I was onto a concept for making cheap, highly entertaining viewing, and we repeated the exercise at a party later that year. It failed. Why? Possibly because "this cast" were unique. They produced the engaging rapport needed. Its a one off, its overlooked, but its very funny. If ever there was a challenge, it is to try and better this is sheer spontaneous wit. |
| Best Bit: Look out for Colin as a priest hearing John's confession, or John visiting the Vets, run by Sarah Enright, with the helping hands of Colin. Steve's rendition of a silicon implant has to be seen to be believed! |
