I find it horrendous that Sam and Megan obviously gravitate to each other and the only reason they aren't together, certainly seems like external thoughts from others. there's no reason megan doesn't want to be around sam other then "holding her back" ? which she can't explain ? something tells me megans parents are a big part of this decision, when really, they should be over the moon they are together, they clearly are so happy in each others company.

[@Thespecialstvshow]

Hi Maria, good question! Voiceover was one of the most important and fun parts of making The Specials. We could only get it right by working closely with the guys. In the edit we would come up with a 'guide voiceover' based on the kinds of things they were saying in their interviews. Then we would go to the guys house, show them the episode at the rough cut stage, discuss how they felt and any changes it needed. Once everyone was happy we would build the voiceover booth with the guys in Sam's room - this would take 2 hours - before recording. It was during these voiceover sessions that the words would often change as the guys worked out ways they would more naturally express themselves. If you are interested to find out more, there's a page on our website which includes a video of the voiceover booth construction and some of the voiceover outtakes including one in which me and Sam end up crying on the floor laughing ;-) www.the-specials.com/behind_the_scenes/voiceover
