   I basically made this thread so that I could ask Ray/ Ed a question and because there was no similiar thread already in place that I am aware of.

   When will Ed be on TV and will he use some of his AMAZING deaths?

   Ooh, ok. I've got one too.

   Are there any videos out there of the Big & Daft shows? I'd like to see more of Ray's character work...

   Ed is doing the stand up on Russell Howard's Good News in a few weeks.

   
   

   There are no public videos of Big And Daft, it wasn't really character stuff, but more an extension of our personalities - an idiot, an authority figure and a trouble maker living together. It is veeery unlikely any of our videos will be made public though I'm afraid.

   More out of curiosity than Lol Potential, what program do you use to record the podcast? Audacity? Garage Band? How long does it take to edit? Give us behind the scenes know how oh wise Ray!

   I was the trouble maker one, Rob Rouse was the idiot and Jon Williams the authority figure.

   
   

   And the podcast is edited and recorded with Audacity. Had a brief flirtation with the veeeeery expensive Adobe Audition but returned to the simplicity of Audacity.  Takes an average of four hours to edit, but that's if I do it in one sitting.  I chop out a lot and basically tighten the whole thing up.

   Out of all your figures / props / collectables, which one is your favourite?

   Also - one for Ray and Ed - being comedians, does it mean that you can no longer go to a standup show and enjoy it? I remember an interview with Billy Connolly, where he said he doesn't enjoy watching comedians because he just looks for technique rather than content.

   Presently on a bit of a Muppet obsession so I will go with my backstage at the Muppet Show diorama which is now worth an absolute mint on ebay and stuff, and my Gonzo Photo Puppet. The Star Wars Lego collection is pretty much an en masse fave too.

   
   

   As for the comedy question - yep, can't stand it. The idea of going to a comedy gig to watch it leaves me cold. I rarely watch the shows if I am compering unless Ed is on having a go at it.

   what about sitcoms and stuff, do you still dig them? What about the american sitcoms, Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Arrested Development, Curb Your Enthusiasm, etc, you like them?

    Cheers for the 'cast info. One last question, what mics do you use, and how much were they? I've got a few Rock Band USB mics knocking around but they tend to knock and be shit and whatnot.

    Never have cared for US Sitcoms really - enjoyed Arrested Dev but I think that's about it.  Some US Comedy Drama is ace though and I loved Boston Legal.

    
    

    The Mics are Sony ones that you can't buy any more apparently but they were silly expensive when I bought them - they regularly threaten to die but we have done okay out of them.  We have to run them through an iMic now because Macs don't provide power through USB. Fuck knows what we will do when they finally die as USB mics are hard to come by now (good ones)

    As you're a big Laurel and Hardy fan, I was wondering if you followed any other of the classic physical comedians, like Harold Lloyd or Charlie Chaplain, with as much Fervor.

    Can't stand Chaplin - mainly as everything I have read about him makes him sound rather ungracious.  I also find much of his output a touch on the maudlin side.

    
    

    Used to like Harold Lloyd as a child and once interviewed his granddaughter on LBC.

    
    

    I mean when I was a child not when he was a child.  I have no idea what he was like as a child. 

    
    

    Probably a clumsy fucking nightmare.

    A question for both Ray and Ed- how did both of you become comedians??

    I trained as an actor and hated it so I started my own clubs and went on at them with no material to try to work out how to do it.  This then spawned a sketch group that did very well and I got given uni gigs as a stand up and signed up to management.

    
    

    Don't know what you're asking Ed for...

    Watching Russell Howard's Good News to see if Ed was on it. Not sure if it's him or not. If it is, his tits have definitely shrunk. And his hair is looking lovely.

    Barnsey - genuinely pretty much forget about stuff that has been omitted.  There's not much that we keep out for reasons other than time but the general reason is when stuff is libellous.  So if I now type it here - it's still libellous.  

    
    

    FrasersGhost - Raji has been married once and continues to happily be so.  No idea about engaged.

    
    

    Nood - nope but Ed did.  I watched Boston Legal and 24 though.

    
    

    SamD - Ed is on RHGN Extra this coming Saturday (week tonight) - being filmed on Tues.

    
    

    There you go.

    Ray are you in the extras for the dvd of Miranda at all? I'd love to see you filming your own sitcom, knowing tv dvd extras I can't imagine they kept such things in though. I'll pick it up anyway when I do have the cash seeing as it was great fun but I was curious about that.

    I signed a clearance thing for my inclusion on the dvd extras.  As far as I know it is just my intro to Miranda.

    
    

    If I'd known they were gonna cold shoulder me for Series 2 though I wouldn't have given permission.  Was very upset about it. Goodwill gestures apparently do not come back with karma!

    Ah that is bull, sorry to hear so.

    Were you involved in the making of Gomez's albums? Just cos every time I plug my ipod in and type 'Ray Peacock' into my itunes search thing their albums come up along with the podcast and this confuses me and being confused makes me scared for my mind.

    I can confirm I had nothing whatsoever to do with any album by Gomez.  They probs just love me...

    Couple of non podcast questions...

    If you had to recommend 3 'non-mainstream' films to people, what would they be?

    Are you going to the Meat Loaf concerts in December?

    What was "Terrorville" on UKPlay? Is this ever repeated on telly?

    Posted 10 months ago #

    Dunno about the films - I always struggle to come up with satisfactory answers to them questions.

    
    

    I won't be going to Meat Loaf's concerts in December no.  Pretty sure I checked and the London one clashes with Good News recording.

    
    

    Terrorville was on UKPlay in 2000 I think, it was all done on green screen with virtual sets put in later on.  It was repeated mentally on UKPlay but I dont believe anyone has the rights to show it now.  I hope they don't anyway.  Really wasn't very good.

    
    

    Although we replaced Catherine Tate in it as she was in the pilot and we weren't.

    Out of curiosity, does the Peacock and Gamble podcast have more subscribers than the Ray Peacock podcast did?

    Yep shitloads more. 

    
    

    Weirdly we are not sure that we inherited *that* much audience either.  It is likely that there are a great many of you that got the old RPP episodes after hearing P&G.

    What did you think Saw 3D if you saw it?

    Posted 10 months ago #

    I have seen it.  F-ucking dreadful.  But reeeeeally fucking awful.

    
    

    Ruined the whole thing for me.  I know Saw gets slagged anyhow but I actually think they impressively interlinked everything and made them decent movies that you often didn't second guess.

    
    

    But not Saw 3-D.  Terrible, terrible film.  Not a fitting end.  I am almost certain that they had ideas for a couple more films at least and then just tried to mash them all together.

    
    

    Not just the worse Saw film, but one of my worse ever films sadly.
