UK TV Comedy Bloopers (Outtakes)

[@Amfran]

I love the change from Milchett in his macho-ness, to Stephen's camp "They're all pulling faces at me and everything" :')

[@MikeMJPMUNCH]

i so wish i could see what hugh laurie was doing to make stephen fry lose it like he did.

[@jamesrose1460]

I second that. To repeatedly blow a line like that it had to be something extra silly

[@wynwilliams6977]

Apparently he kept pulling silly faces at him :) there is a black adder doc called black adder back and forth I think it's in that

[@nuntana2]

He only had to look at him to make him crack up.

"They're all pulling faces at me and everything!" Gotta love Stephen Fry. :)

Staying in character even if the scene is ruined.

Stephen Fry as General Melchitt gets my vote for best supporting character in a comedy series ever. Just amazing.

[@davidw.2791]

On an episode of series I of QI, the subject of facial hair in WWI era British armed forces came up, Stephen lifts his head to reveal that he taped a Melchett stache onto his face, to tremendous applause.

Too bad this show never really became the hit it should have been here in the USA because I always thought it was hilarious. I saw it, quite by accident actually, on the PBS (Public Broadcasting System) and I was hooked instantly. Rowan Atkinson is amazing. I have all the DVDs.

[@clivejones7104]

Well it was huge in the UK! The very final episode set in WWI when they go "over-the-top" and it fades into the poppy fields is in my opinion one of the most powerful and poignant scenes EVER recorded in any show. It still brings a tear to my eye to think about it. I urge anyone who has never seen it to click below. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHmWXnqqbNKar68

[@NxDoyle]

Rowan A is right when he says there are few, if any, bloopers from his work. He's so focused on getting it done in the way he's planned it that he can only think about that. Michael Richards had the same meticulous approach on Seinfeld. These guys work out what they think will be best and know that they have two or three takes to get it the way they planned it, or it's lost forever. Definitely not an enjoyable way to work. There has to be an element of play, of finding stuff in the moment, of bouncing off your colleagues. I'm not saying their performances were inferior, because they weren't. I'm just saying that it must suck to have adhere so rigidly to what you've plotted in your mind's eye. Rik was almost the anti-Rowan. He was possessed of the same talent and achieved the same heights in performance, but you can tell, even outside gag reels, that he loved to play and play up.

[@pilummurialis6490]

Ricky Gervais is the same way, you should see the outtakes for After life and Derek

[@Milamberinx]

@@pilummurialis6490 I thought of Ricky too. Of the two approaches I think I'd much rather work with Rowan's than Ricky's. There's a reason Ricky only gets through a six episode series every three years.

With Rowan, perfection is everything. You can have fun, but you must reach perfection if you can.

[@ThisCharmingMan1984]

Philip Croft In a documentary, about ‘Blackadder’, he said he wasn’t “much of a laugher”, in real life, no matter how funny he finds something. So maybe it’s just that he doesn’t show it very well, when he’s amused, and it makes it appear that he’s not enjoying himself, even though he actually is. He does seem like a very difficult person to read; he doesn’t give much away, physically, or with his mannerisms, and comes across as a very guarded, private person- which is exactly what he is, according to himself, and those that know him. But, it doesn’t really matter; he’s a superb actor, and has impeccable comic timing- both physically and verbally, particularly when he’s given the right/good material to work with. 😀
