I miss Greece, listening to the moussaka while eating a tasty bouzouki.

It's still there.

Or for free, go to our website and see what happens when a loony scriptwriter is let loose with Zoom!!

You will be relieved to hear I 'm not in it!

Goldilocks and the 3 Bearz - Video | BEPG

I'm not in it. But some of the filming is me with my video-cameras. Quite pleased with them - a couple of Sony FDR AX53. The rest of the filming was a local professional company, offering their services for cost to support the local art community. Though "panto" and "art"...

The National Theatre are doing a free live streaming of Jack and the Beanstalk from 1500 GMT on 23 December via their YouTube channel. It'll then be available on demand until 27 December.

Pantos sounds like a Greek island.

Well, watched it tonight and it was great. A professional video company and recording studio helped at cost, so the results were good. It wasn't far off a Cbeebies one. The comments stream was 90 minutes of heckling. Lots of parody of wokeness and snowflakes. Vegan bears off out hunting wokeberries.... Crap jokes, singing, dancing and cheesy acting. What's not to like?

A selection of very good terrible jokes.

We've definitely used some of those.

Currently working on Little Red Riding Hood. The wolf isn't sure if he should eat the Dame (Granny) as he's trying to cut down on Trans-fats.

When we did Snow White, the apple scene was to the tune "Comfortably Numb".

[vetran]

and a few jokes

When Snow White is sent into a ‘sleeping death’ by the poisoned apple, a character says he has never heard of ‘sleeping death’. ‘You’ve obviously never been to a James Blunt concert,’ he is told.

Comic: Sorry I’m late. I’ve been to the optician’s. He’s just told me I’m colour blind.


Buttons: Colour blind?


Comic: Yes, it came as a real bolt out of the orange.



Dame: I’m so tired. I can’t go any further. I’m absolutely knickered.


Buttons: Do you mean knackered?


Dame: No, knickered. My breath’s coming in short pants.



Dame: My husband fell into a huge vat of granulated coffee and was never seen again. It was a terrible way to go but at least it was instant.


Buttons: Have you put on weight?


Dame: Well, I’ve had a lot on my plate.



Dame: I’ve been married 16 times.


Comic: 16?


Dame: Yes, four richer, four poorer, four better, four worse.



Q: What did Cinderella say when the chemist mislaid her photos?


A: Some day my prints will come.



Dame: Every time I’m down in the dumps, I buy myself a new hat.


Comic: I wondered where you got them from.



Man: Eggs are going up again.


Dame: That’ll surprise a few chickens.



Emperor: Would you like a dance?


Dame: Yes. I did ballet as a child.


Comic: But she was so fat, she had to wear a three-three.



Comic: I went out last night and had 14 pints of low-fat yoghurt. I got totally Mullered.



Q: Why does Dick Whittington have a beard?


A: Because nine out of ten owners know that their cats prefer whiskers.



Q: Why was Cinderella so bad at football?


A: She had a pumpkin for a coach.



Comic: You want to be careful of the baddie. He’s a magician. He can turn you into a prawn cocktail. And that’s just for starters.



Q: What did the woodcutter’s wife say to her husband in December?


A: Not many chopping days left till Christmas.



Comic: I’d like to buy a goldfish.


Pet shop owner: Would you like an aquarium?


Comic: I don’t care what its star sign is.



Dame: I miss my husband. I used to rub grease all over his back to make him feel better.


Comic: What happened?


Dame: He went downhill really fast.

Covid has quite a few silver linings.

“All the gear, no idea”?

Or was he more subtle...
”I think there’s an issue behind the viewfinder”

Turned out you have to switch CTRL FOR HDMI to off. It's a bit weird, since the manual says "When connecting this product to a BRAVIA Sync compatible TV with an HDMI
cable, you can play back movies on this product by aiming the TV’s Remote Commander at the TV." And for that you set CTRL FOR HDMI on.

There's a note underneath, "If you do not want to display icons on the screen of the TV connected via HDMI, set [CTRL FOR HDMI] to [Off]." but it's not exactly the obvious place to do this, since the main section is about connecting to a BRAVIA.

[WTFH]

...After a non.techie stage manager suggested I might change one setting on them that seemed utterly unrelated...
