The Positive Negative Man

When Steed is telling Mrs Peel about his "experience" with the blue van, you can see a person looking to Steed and Peel from the buildings in the backgrounds and then he/she disappears.

Spotting a stunt double is hardly a blooper. A blooper is a genuine mistake - contunuity error, a fluffed line or calling a character by the wrong name. You're bound to spot a double if you watch for it - especially in the age of digital freeze frame.

The Gaslight Ghoul wrote:One of the better messed up lines happened in Six Hands Across A Table where Guy Doleman's character tells Cathy Gale that he loves her, but he actually says "I love you Ros", which was the character name of his sister, of course Honor Blackman carried on stoically.

Not the best of starts to a romance I would have thought.

They both carried on very well!

that's always a fave glitch of mine, when viewing either 'live' TV,or early video tape
of productions...happens more times than I can count...wonder why ?

Visibility of the boom mic in this case would be we're getting a more picture. The technical details are beyond me , but basically the scope of the frame is bigger.

well, sounds logical to me....but I'm wondering, if it was also
a simple editing snafu...???

I don't know what 'snafu' means. But it's something that wouldn't have been detected previously so not a blooper.

Obaki (Obake) translates as demon or monster. There is a Japanese card game called "Obake Karuta" or monster cards.

what's the lesser of two insults? fool or idiot ?
