Full Steam Behind Blooper

[Stephen]

Pretty sure members have seen this before but, If you haven't, I'm gonna post one of my favourite LOTSW bloopers anyway: the BBC van in the window of the train station in Full Steam Behind.

I'm not sure if this was actually a blooper, weren't the TV cameras actually at the station for with the Mayor for the launch of the train, it's a while since I've seen it but on the audio version I'm sure Cleggy refers to the TV cameras at the station?

Looks like a blooper to me.

Series 5 is LITTERED with mistakes, this is another for the list.

I'm pretty sure it's a blooper as a) it's only on screen for a nanosecond and b) there are no TV cameras on the platform of the station.

I do, however, love your scenario and I think you are right that some TV station would have covered it, even if it was just for the local news.

Yes indeed. They mainly consist of the boom mic being in shot. That happens a multitude of times. Doesn't bother me though as series 5 -- and LOTSW in general -- is of such quality that it rises above these things.

You're bob on Stephen, I've lost count of the times I've seen the boom mic in the Cafe, particularly in the earlier episodes.

I think these various bloopers make the show a little more interesting, all the episodes I have seen many many times and all of a sudden something pops up that I have never spotted before

Well spotted Stephen, I've not noticed it but will be looking out for it next time we watch that episode.
