I've actually driven a small steam engine at the National Railway Museum in Port Adelaide. Some years back they invited people to come and 'drive' the train (with help from staff obviously) for a short distance. You could choose a diesel or their little steam engine called 'Peronne'. My friend and I signed up for the steam engine of course, and the gentlemen were really surprised and happy to see two women doing it haha because everyone else had been men lol. We had such an awesome time!

'Peronne' is an 0-6-0 tank locomotive originally used for shunting at Port Pirie smelters from 1919.

Here's a couple of pics of me driving it - face blurred obviously lol and then a pic of me and my friend in front of the train, with the fireman in background. We kinda 'dressed up' for the part lol.

I think I like the Pommy panel shows coz it's not scripted so much, it's just the pure humour that comes from the tops of their heads which is so rich

There was a controversy years and years back when they discovered some of the jokes were scripted which has led a little more to this

How many years back?

That's why I loved Aussie shows like Thank God You're Here. Comedians walk in to a set and know nothing about what is happening and it's all improv. Some of them were extremely good at it! Shaun Micallef was my favourite:

Quality of the video isn't great but the quality of the comedian IS

Thanks, I'll look into that

Mock The Week gags are pre-planned admits TV comedian Alan Davies

Comedy formats such as Mock The Week appear improvised when panellists do short stand-up acts based on “random” subjects

Must admit, I thought it was a bigger deal back then

I haven't seen that show

 

[I Dont Care]

Ok, that's just more or less suggesting they get directed in which direction the the days show is going to go before hand to prepare them, which is understandable, but not quite 'scripted' per se

“Scenes you’d like to see” is definitely scripted. There’s no way they can come up with everything on the spot. I also assume that it’s heavily edited, like HYBPA.

And agree that British panel shows are the best. And by far outdo anything Australia or the US have produced.

I’m expecting a joke at the start of the evening proceedings, similar to something Victorian Coren Mitchell would say.
Even if no one understands it.

I'll do my best, though I don't know her style, is it similar to her husbands 'rants'?
