@anthonysharp7427 26 дней назад

Marina, you have forced me to make a comment. As a group of 16-18 year old apprentices in the manufacturing industry during the early 90’s we used to spend our time during tea breaks writing letters to “Dear Deidre”. Many a letter was written , mostly from the perspective of a lady seeking satisfaction. On several occasions our letters were published and Deidre replied with help. On reflection now this probably wasn’t the most moral thing we could do at tea break but at the time this was quite exciting for a bunch of boys just out of school, especially waiting to see how many letters we composed would actually get published in the Sun. Just to confirm I do not condone this behaviour any more as the time spent by the agony auntie could have been spent helping genuine people. -

@Elwaves2925 26 дней назад

I've always suspected that it's a combo of both. If a letter matched a topic they wanted to cover, or isn't something they've just covered then it might get printed. Why pay someone to write it when it's there for free? After that I suspect they make it up. One thing to note, and I heard this directly from someone who worked with agony letters, is that there is no 'Deirdre' or whatever the column is called. It's a department of multiple people and they all answer the letters in the style of the agony aunt.

@muntox 25 дней назад

That raises the question of how much the incoming letters were screened to cull out obviously false and fabricated stories? So the challenge to the cheeky factory workers is to be as convincing as you can with the most absurd scenarios. I don't think it's morally unsound, it's all part of the game. In any case if the advice given to your I invented problem is genuinely useful to any readers at all, mission accomplished.

@cipherhex 26 дней назад

I just cannot bring myself to believe Richard's answer about the people being under the wheel 😂 It just seems so logistically difficult to raise the entire set so high, for very little - especially since every shot I've seen of the contestant rising (tbf only watched it a couple times) is cut so late, with you only seeing them raise the final couple of feet, with a suspicious amount of smoke

@stewartbrodie1720 24 дня назад

Logistics planners have to be amazing to plan how to get each venue set up and what the minimum number of complete sets of equipment that requires. I find it a fascinating challenge - but there's no way I could do it! The teams of people responsible for the packing, moving and unpacking are equally amazing, because they could stuff the whole operation up if they make a serious mistake. The concert tour logistics sound very similar to the way F1 teams move around from circuit to circuit. With F1 there's also multiple complete sets of equipment moving around the globe by ship, lorry or plane - and often not following the race calendar, but sometimes a set will just get shipped off, literally on a ship, to the next place it'll be used - in 6 months time, so it sits in storage, but it's cheaper that way.

@DavidSmith-bc8nk 20 дней назад

My biggest bugbear with the Wheel is sometimes you will get an episode where someone has a go on the wheel and then they'll go down but come straight back and they might come back several more times, especially I think there's been one episode where someone got to the end and got the first two questions wrong but then got a third chance - I think it can still be random at that point but also allow for the other two contestants to have a shot, don't think it's fair for someone to get three cracks at the end. That would be the one change I'd make to the show

*After the Thin Man* (1936) is a good sequel. Now, the original *The Thin Man* (1934) is not a bad movie, but the "thin man" moniker wasn't refering to Nick Charles (William Powell) in that one. It wasn't until the seqel, which in turn was followed by four more successors. The Thin Man series reached six feature films. For those who don't know it: It's a series of cosy murder mystery comedies. The murders are solved by Nick & Nora Charles , played by Charles William Powell and Myrna Loy. A great deal of the appeal is the banter between the two.

@Hexon66 25 дней назад

Can't agree with Godfather Pt.2, not because it's a cliche (which it is), but for context and the ability to *_stand alone_* . Probably true of all sequels to some degree, it's useful to have prior knowledge of the characters and situation, but all should become clear eventually, or could easily be back-filled. But with the prequel/sequel nature of Godfather Pt. 2, it's essential to have context for the characters. That's *really* the strength of the film, that it bookends the first film. As a stand alone, Pt. 2 throws away virtually all of Michael's arc. And the audience has to fill in the gap from the little boy waving from a train in Italy to the middle aged man celebrating his son's first communion in Nevada.

@barrieflix 25 дней назад

If the Wheel is truly random I don't understand how it always is the correct length for the broadcast slot. Ok, I guess there can be a lot of live banter which can be edited out as necessary. But it could be first contestant is very knowledgeable or lucky and get straight to the end and win - and it could be a run of ignorance or bad luck with very few steps forward. Sort of 20 min straight through, or 2 hrs of agony.

@JonathanBrusby 3 дня назад

I may be wrong, but my sense from the ones I've watched is that if a contestant gets a question wrong, the next time(s) that category is attempted it's a slightly 'easier' question, in order to increase the chances of it being answered correctly and reducing that endless slog you suggest. They still must build in lots of leeway to lengthen or shorten the edit though, just for the difference on the final alone where some contestants get the first question right in a flash while other times they burn through all the questions and nobody wins at all.

Is there a reason why for some shows there is an absolute eternity between recording and broadcast? Examples... We were contestants on the Christmas edition of The 1% Club last December (2023)... which was recorded in February. (This one makes sense as they recorded the whole series as a block, and it was the last show to be recorded as I recall) On the other hand, we were in the audience for an edition of Tipping Point Lucky Stars which - as far as I can establish - has yet to be broadcast... almost 2 years after recording (which brings up a side question as to whether the charity has been given its prize money yet - knowing that game shows tend not to pay winnings until after broadcast, though I imagine that a charity win might be an exception).
