I don't think there's been a point at which non-essential *work* was forbidden (otherwise my friends who run a mail-order wool company would have had to close, for example). Or do you think all production of new TV programmes should have ceased for a year? Anna Noyd-Dryver (OT) Well .... I would be happy to see all soaps cease for 50 years. It might give TV a chance to devise some new, original dramas instead of bombarding us with endless variations on the same tedious stories...... is your TV missing an OFF button? No. It also has a channel change option. It is just that I wish there were more options for original UK drama, instead of endless repetition of things long past their sell-by dates. So you really can't find anything of interest on one of the 57 channels (with nothing on!). A good proportion of those would have nothing to show if Adolf hadn’t invaded Poland. I agree I do wish they would make documentaries on other wars ;-) I know zip all about the minutiae of the Boer War or the Crimea War for example (all I know comes from a couple of Hollywood blockbuster movies - and we all know how inaccurate they can sometimes be) Not a lot of library footage from either of those. -- Graeme Wall This account not read. |

I wonder, do characters in the soaps currently take all the Covid precautions? Are the pubs closed, everyone wears masks, and stays 2m apart? There have been quite a number of articles on how they have managed to record soap operas. One technique is to use actors'partners for scenes needing close contact, like "snogging". One recent article said that one programme was having a problem so one actor rang his girl friend, who had done some acting, she was taken on as an extra and substituted for the real actress during the close-ups. I wonder if arrangements with Equity have been relaxed or some had to join, they used to be quite strict at one time. At what point are Equity cards required? Presumably a non-speaking extra doesn't need one, even if they have to go through some simple motions? How much speech do they need to officially become actors who need to be union members? Or is it a question of how much they're paid? |

I don't know what the TV soaps did, but TA (initially at first, anyway - I haven't followed later developments) decided they'd be a fictional world without Covid - not least because they'd need to re-record months of material just as it became significantly more difficult to do so.

I thought it was reasonably obvious that I was continuing to talk about the same thing... Anna Noyd-Dryver |

Oh dear, how sad :) FYI I haven't even had an invitation to have a jab yet and if I have to have them to go abroad then I will, if not I won't, simple as that. After a bout of flu one doesn't generally head off down the GP and get a flu jab. |
