Brilliant audience tonight for Newsjack. Big thanks to all who came - please come again
I don't like to boast, but we were pretty good...
A really good recording and a great evening. Mainly thanks to inspired performances from the cast, especially Miles and Lewis. Quite a lot of messing around. Especially loved the re-takes bit where for no reason Lewis started impersonating his friend who was in the audience, then pointed her out to everyone. I say this just to give you an idea of how high-energy it was (certainly compared to the half-full venue beside a gym last time I went) and it showed in the performances and the audience.
The bad news is nothing for me this time so that's saved the Thursday paranoia at least.
It was interesting how it was recorded this time, they front loaded the show with all the best stuff so some really strong stuff at the start. My personal favourite was the Oscar for best powerpoint presentation which is bound to be in the show tomorrow.
A lot of stuff on Gaddafi, the Oscars and Ashley Cole so don't believe everything you read in the twitter.
And oddly breast milk ice cream was quite a big feature. Bit odd as didn't think it was that big a story. (Although it was also a guise for sneaking in a sketch on Westminster Council canceling their Soup runs. Hope that makes it as it's an important story to cover if nothing else. Power to the People!)
Enough. I shall leave you to enjoy the show tomorrow. Hope the atmosphere of the recording comes across in the broadcast.
