this is what chanter does when she's keeping herself awake
Yes. This entire thing is the result of listening to three BBC 7 shows in succession in an effort to not fall asleep and miss this morning's Her Turn. I need to be there, as we've a possible new collective member observing things. Ergo, staying up by any means necessary that are still enjoyable. Heh. Somewhere in there, I started writing down my thoughts as I listened. I know, this is starting to sound horrifically like the onset of a twitterfeed, but I promise it's if not a one-off, then a rarity. I'll put the babble under a cut the better to spare those who'd sooner skip either horrible pun damage or my chattering on about radio. and just for info, anything in quotes is something said by someone on the show. All else is me.
Oh, and the Jillian I'm referencing here is a character in a story I've been working on since round about the time I graduated college. One of these days I'll introduce her properly.
Four Joneses and a Jenkins
Now I remember why I've had Jillian land in Wales!
Mmm lovely accents. I'm just trying to figure out if one of them sounds like Mrs. Morgan, but I don't think any of them do. Sarah sort of does, but her voice is too low and she's not as merry. Llewellyn Daniel though... hmm. Definitely not like Mrs. Morgan, nope.
"A reliable gas supply--" *somebody farts* I just about died. And oooooh, they're translating into Welsh! *glee!*
That dirty old man though, ugh. If he weren't such an over the top character, he might pull it off. I know it's a comedy, and I assume he's intended that way since it's so obvious, but ugh. A bit of a rogue is one thing. Chuck the worst of the obvious drive and he'd be a whole lot nicer to have around. And as for the other over the top character - heh, hi Esther, I got that use of the phrase from you - hmm. Not sure what to make of him yet, although I was pretty sure for a second there that the reason he was still in the ditch was because he couldn't get out of it! It did sound like he fell in, the first time he was there and a scene ended. *giggling*
Argh, whenever they mentioned Alexander Pope, I couldn't help remembering the to err is human/tu eres human gag. God that was contrived. Still makes me snicker and wince, though.
I wish we'd met the person fixing the tractor; too bad we didn't.
Ooh, Mrs. Morgan, if I come in now I run the risk of dripping all over your front hall! This blinking storm--just a moment, I need to ring out my hair before I do anything else. *sound of much water being wrung onto the front walk* There, that's better. Whew! *voice from further in the house* Close the door! You're letting the storm in! *the door is closed with rather a bang* Whew! *thunder crashes, almost covering up the word*
Uh, that last bit was me dreaming up how I'd make an entrance into Mrs. Morgan's during a storm like the one hit the Joneses and a Jenkins during the show. Jillian wouldn't; her hair's too short to wring out like mine.
Forty Nights Inside the Wildebeast
"Oops, sorry granddad. Get out you swine! Who was that? Libby Pervis." *giggles*
Gah! The Scottish spoof was a bit much for me to take in spots, and I'm a Scott!
"What shall you call this masterpiece? A helicopter." *giggles*
"I'm hard enough! said Adler. I told you so! said Freud." *giggling*
"The planets: mighty wanderers of the skies." I rather like that, especially the way he said it.
"Uranus was invented by comedians in the sixteenth century, before which Neptune was the Latin word for bunghole." *gigglefits*
"God put it away, Flash is my name!" *gigglefits again*
Gods, they're really having a go at Scotland here, aren't they? Oy, he isn't even Scottish! That was brilliant, though. The second bloke sounded a whole heck of a lot better for William Wallace, ooh. And Scotty as the chosen one, glee!
God, that was a groaner. Yuck, horrid pun! *takes pun damage*
"And now it's time for the radio foreplay. Excuse me I'll read that again - it's time for the Radio 4 play." *giggling* That never fails, ever.
Get on with the--oh you're just building this up for the hell of... finally. Nice.
Wait, Euan McGregor as the chosen one? Aww. *giggling* When he's struggling with his accent and losing it, I wish they'd gone all 'remember your training!' dramatic with it. Darn. Still good, though. And that's where Kimberly got the name for broccoli kitten! I never knew Captain Pugwash was an actual name. I thought she just dreamed it up.
I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again
He has gone over the top--uh-oh.
Oh blimey, he's really, really really gone over the top! That's scary, eew brrr.
And the rubbish attempt at an Indian accent fools them! Oops.
Ooh, that presenter sounds like a white South African.
Lord who of where?
I think this lord whoever is a little cracked as well. Uh-oh. Brrr.
If this madrigal society starts in on "Sing We Enchanted," I'm out of here. Oh whew.
Are those Yorkshire accents? They're rather awful.
Are they honestly immitating rain dripping into metal buckets? Seriously? Ugh. Snicker. And oh no, now here they go again!
Oh my goodness, he sounds a bit like Corporal Jones! Not entirely, but just enough to get me to notice. Aww.
Are these two trying to be Johnny Cash and June Carter? And now he's all stumbling all over himself trying to answer a question. Oops!
"Search me. Some other time baby, some other time." Mmm, give me a minute.
Oh God, they're going into an Abbott and Costello routine, now. And again. Ah whew, that's a much better accent. Whew.
This is a rather accurate Sam Spade impression, all things considered. Lovely parody of all the private eye shows in the 'verse all rolled into one.
"When I get up I shave, I dress, I take a shower. I get my clothes wet. Uh, no kidding!" *giggling*
... Yeeeeeah. this is me, overtired and goofy. 'Scuze me while I go take a shower, then run off to WORT. and, don't hold the above babble against me too much? What can I say, I'm weird.
