It seems strange to have an audience for a radio show, but I suppose it's possible. I thought it might have been canned laughter for a moment, but it sounded more natural than that. Maybe they were broadcasting from someplace open to the public?Frankymole wrote:Short, but very sweet! I listened to it last night; I too wonder what the audience was doing there.
Yes, incredible if he was doing theatre during the production of TNA, at least when it began. I don't know if he had a long run to complete or was able to concentrate just on TNA after a few months...
Now I come to think of it, it is strange how straight Gambit's hair is compared to Gareth's!
He took the Nescafé remarks in good part as well, although it must be tedious to keep having those adverts come up in every conversation.
Has this interview appeared on the TNA Facebook group yet?
I've gone searching to try and work out how long that particular stint of Hamlet lasted, but all I can find is a start date--March 16, 1976. It had already been running elsewhere starting in December, 1975 (after he would have left Upstairs, Downstairs). Gareth and Joanna were tested in February, did the Dorcester photo call in March, and started shooting in April, so presumably things overlapped for a few months at least. They would have been getting up early to do their fitness training even before they started shooting, so I suspect things were pretty tight for awhile there.
I do remember when I first started to see photos of Gareth outside TNA, I was a little bit surprised at how curly it was. They did straighten it out a fair bit, although I don't know that I'd actually call it "straight"--it's still pretty fluffy! (Not that I mind--I appreciate the fluffiness
). At least the hairdressing people didn't give up and put him in a wig like Peter Wyngarde. 
I've checked the TNA facebook group and haven't seen any sign of it--I found it on YouTube myself, and from the looks of things it hadn't been played very many times. You should pass it along--I'm sure they'd enjoy it.
Let's take a moment to appreciate the hard work of the TNA hair department.
