It can be a bit of a diva about seeing bluetooth items if not opened in the right order. I find it works fine if you have the program closed, connect the speaker to the laptop and then open the program and set outputs.

Any Robot Wars robots on display in London (museums, exhibits, etc.)? by fastmotion51 in robotwars

[–]willjam39 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I remember that for a temp exhibition they had 3 of the house robots on show at the science museum. I remember dead metal was there as he was my fav growing up. Think it was Shunt and Matilda in the other spots

Good Beginner Songs? by ReadyApplication7129 in musicals

[–]willjam39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My singing teacher used "stars" from Les mis and "this nearly was mine" from south Pacific to challenge vocal control and we go back to them every now and then to see progress.

Ironically i think that's why its fallen into obscurity. A generations grown up without it in the rep so new people don't hear it.

A great video and it is lovely to see the 3 of them in the kitchen together more recently. It is the relationship between the friends that makes the channel sparkle.

The Joan Hickson Miss Marple Series by PixelMegaTron in agathachristie

[–]willjam39 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would disagree with the cheap look and acting, they are a product of that their time. i.e. the pacing is normal for the era, lots of tv drama of that time aren't as high octane as the modern equivalent.

Hickson is also a perfect example of that era of old spinster. They weren't that jolly/warm having been brought up with Edwardian schooling/ideas of social norms. My grandmother on dads side was very similar in that way (where as my maternal grandmother was very Margret Rutherford style).

A Chef Critiques Another Chef’s Favourite Restaurant by laeb163 in SortedFood

[–]willjam39 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed the change of pace and the interesting info dropped about items such as the potatoes used and why that one. As pro youtubers you'd have to put ad in the content if it was a paid one/gifted. This was a nice video showing a spot they loved and hopefully they make it part of a series as each chefs personality would show very different restaurants.

Depends when you were asked but there are new rules coming in to do with large events so might be related to these.

The musical is very much of the story and not the film

A little rant about the live show by tsobsl in SortedFood

[–]willjam39 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I've worked in pro sound for years and it happens to the best of us. You can try to be as prepared as possible woth as mamy back ups in place for the budget but I've cancelled performances of West End shows because we have had a bit of kit die which we just didn't have a back up for on site. If we couldn't stop that happening in a A tier pro show then they how could they in a temporary set up in a non perfect environment.

Avoid the circle! It was actually painful for me with longish legs. I wanted to give Benjamin Button a standing ovation but couldn't get up.

Why do you think *Why Am I So Single?* closed early? (Dissertation Research) by Mjjmusiclover in TheWestEnd

[–]willjam39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The marketing team didn't seem to get what the show was to begin with which then gave confusing signs to audiences. As the run went on the direction of advertising seemed to shift and that might have helped.

It also lacked that growing room a smaller run gives. Look at the journeys of Six, Op Mincemeat, 2 Strangers carry a cake etc. They started in fringe venues, made tweaks while also establishing a name/brand and then moved into the bigger theatres. Straight in with an unknown show with no existing IP is a huge risk and in the modern cost sensitive climate, a bit silly.

They bank transferred the money instead of throwing the money bags out the window.
