That Herb at That Mitchell And Webb Look recording
Today’s special guest blogger is Herb. Yes, Herb. He is an American and is called Herb which is like LOL and ROFL to infinity and beyond. Or something. He went to the Friday recording at the BBC and this is what he had to say over at his rather great blog:
Went to the BBC Television Centre to see a taping of “That Mitchell Webb Look”, which was hilarious and thrilling. Imagine seeing your favorite band on tour for their best album. I couldn’t quite believe I was there watching it.
There was some asshole who’s job it was to warm-up the audience while the performers were changing costumes etc. I made the mistake of raising my hand when he asked if anyone had come from overseas. He relentlessly made fun of my accent and “quiet arrogance” for the rest of the evening.
The taping lasted about three hours. Just like with Barry Lyndon and The Godfather II, a three-hour running time had no detrimental effect on the show. It was very funny, and I felt a constant serene contentment, even when I was being made fun of.
Plus, in the lobby of the studio, they had a Dalek. An actual Dalek! (Well not an actual one, they’re not real.) Check out the picture.
All in all, a great day. Even if no one likes my mustache.
I don’t think Herb liked Jeff/Geoff either. Poor Geoff/Jeff.
