The Origins of Pancake Tuesday

Just in time for the day after Pancake day. Here's a sketch offering information on the formation of the day http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=Y4Qal3MJZg4&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DY4Qal3MJZg4

Tried watching this but the link is dead. Wha' happen'?

Oops, sorry about that. Heres a fresh link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4Qal3MJZg4

You have a lovely way with dialogue and a very natural presenting style but I can't help but feel you're a bit too in love with the words on this one. With so little action going on you seem to have fallen into the classic "tell rather than show" trap, which makes for a bit of a subdued viewing experience.

Thanks David. Originally I had hoped to cut to the two Saints throughout the sketch but it would have made it a lot more difficult to film, plus I didnt want to use cheap robes and fake beards as I thought it would take from it. Thanks for the comment. Definitely food for thought.
