I must say the settings and props are very realistic. Even the TV audience look real - there are heaps of them and I just love the costumes. The programme revolves around 1 man - often in a garishly coloured shirt. He runs around with a whistle trying to see how many times he can blow it. BUT he can only do that when another of the actors falls over (and that happens alot). I saw one time an actor jumped up to put his head on a spherical object that was kicked at him. He missed and landed on his feet, but his shoes must have been faulty as he fell over in what appears to be great agony. This pleased the lead actor as he got to blow his whistle. Many of the audience were pleased as well as the noise was incredible (I think it might have been TV sound effects). Anyway some support people arrived with a stretcher, but....(now this is the funny part) the guy that fell had a drink of water, got up and started running as if nothing was wrong - it was hilarious. Another happened just this morning - this time there was a guy in yellow shirt (some others had yellow shirts as well) and he accidently touched a guy in a red shirt as both were running for this spherical object to kick it (I am hoping that sphere was not an actor). As his fingernail brushed the red shirt player it appeared to have had a catastrophic affect on the red shirt players ability to run as his arms flung up, grimace on his face, legs gave way and he tumbled to the ground in agony, (Oscar nomination for sure). Just then the other red shirt players all raised their hands above their heads (I think this is a signal to blow the whistle) and yep - the whistle blew. The red shirt was giving a stirling performance as half the audience gave him a standing ovation. He got up of course unharmed to the delight of the crowd. Throughout this series there are many moments like this. Some of the stunt effects look real but you know they have stunt doubles as soon as the TV pans away from the actor (feigning pain) then he is back up running around as if nothing happens - haha those TV effects are great. Has anyone else watched these performances? I jokingly called the programme "Hollywood goes to Germany" |
