Re: A closer look at the episodes...

Haha yes, Erin's right there. That's what proofs to me that series 6 was definitely filmed in their actual office: the pictures on the walls are priceless. (might take more screencaps of that later...)

Re: A closer look at the episodes...

That totally captures my attention every time -- like I just recently noticed that a B&W 80s pic of Dawn and Jen on-stage (someone said it was the first pic of them performing together) is on a desk. Love it!

YouTube has a bunch of the "work" scenes in pretty good quality -- if you search for French and Saunders, they should pop up and there are some great views of the office.

Re: A closer look at the episodes...

Another one I only recently noticed is a funny scene from the Last Shout: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgiTwQ3yKlI

Look how she's arranging her quilt and pillow: it's exactly like cats do, haha. Again: I've seen this episode a dozen of times, but it wasn't until I read the comments on Youtube that I noticed this. I don't even doubt who came up with this, haha.

Re: A closer look at the episodes...

I was watching the Paris ep' today and noticed the flashback to Patsy's modeling days. The scene where she's in 60s mode and saying 'Thursday' over and over to the photographer is actually a comment from Stare back and smile- Joanna wrote that the photographers got the models to say 'Thursday' because it gave them a nice pout.

Re: A closer look at the episodes...

The episode Poor has got to be one of my favorite episodes, and yet I never noticed this earlier:

Image

It's a Youtube cap so the quality is pretty poor, but you can still see she's flicks her ciggie ash into mother's handbag! :lmao:

Neither did I, until someone on Youtube pointed it out in a comment. I keep discovering new things every time!

Re: A closer look at the episodes...

I've only just noticed that, at the end of the pilot Fashion, Pats is wearing no shoes and her underwear over her actual suit. Edina's fall from the back of that taxi is epic, but this makes that scene actually even funnier.

Also, I love how you can see Patsy's knickers in Poor, when she's trying to climb out of that taxi. It has got a crotch though, suprisingly. :lolol:

Re: A closer look at the episodes...

Here's another one for you: Book Club, series 5. About 14:40 minutes into the episode, the bit where Patsy and Eddie are discussing the spa they want to go to... Jennifer accidentally calls her Joanna, haha. :lol: It all goes rather quickly, so I don't think even the producers heard it, but there's no doubt.

Re: A closer look at the episodes...

She does. You can watch it on Youtube - the quality isn't great, but you can clearly her Jennifer say ''Yeah, Joanna...'' instead of Pats. :lol:

YES! I just watched that bit on YouTube, and she says 'Joanna' indeed! You can't hear it very clearly, and you really have to pay attention to what she's saying though. Great find darling :lol:

I think that the fact I've started noticing these silly things just proves I have seen the series too many tims. I'm rewatching series 5 now, gotta get some more ideas of where to go and where to have lunch in London. :lol:
