Yes, he’s extremely talented acting stuntman Phantom of the Opera, one of the very few actors that did almost all his own high-risk stunt- to this day, meaning of the action hero, actors that people would think are very much tougher and braver than an actor. Like Michael Crawford are just wannabes Tom Cruise would be one of the exceptions.
When I worked as a delivery driver I would always check in with the depot by calling them and saying "Demon King, Demon King...." My boss had a good sense of humour and knew where it came from
I imagine people that worked in sequences with Frank probably had to be angry with him otherwise they wouldn't get anything done from pissing themselves with laughter
Damn, I missed the 2023 repeat. You know it was such a missed opportunity for the BBC not to include it as an extra on the DVD set, in fact the DVD set was pretty lousy, usually the BBC themselves do pretty good jobs with their catalogue (a full copy probably still exists in the archives). I would be happy to double dip if they release a remastered set. Did they make To Be Perfectly Frank on film or on VT? The inserts had aged by the time To Be Perfectly Frank was produced, that might be the reason there dirtier. The original inserts might still exist in the archives due to them being used in the documentary, actually the fact the original quad masters for the whole series still exist is a miracle. I must say what was shot for The Public Relations Course was pretty funny due to just how awkward it is, though the transmitted version was probably cut down for time. It is very surreal seeing the inserts without the studio audience because the actors have to play as if there is a studio audience and just prey they laugh at the right moments.
@@PipMadeley I've finished watching it (I was recording it with OBS at the same time for archival reasons) and I thought it was fantastic. Again such a crying shame the BBC never released it as a DVD extra.
Was the laughter added after or real reaction to funny sequences? Always thought that when filming it must be annoying with people just stand around and watching.
No worries! Canned/artificial laughter is much more an American thing but some producers might pepper their shows with laughs where the audience didn't give quite the response they wanted.
