Is this show scripted? Or are these interviews with real people that they add the animation to? Or some of both? If it’s scripted, that’s some very natural sounding writing and performing.
The Christmas episode where they deconstruct the 12 Days of Christmas is hilarious.
The original setup was that the voice tracks were documentary interviews with real people; the animation came later, as a funny re-contextualizing. I assume the conceit remained the same as the original short was expanded into a series.
THe end of each epiaode (at least on DVD) thanks the British public.
The American version hits the airwaves in early 07. They did the interviews nearly a year ago and Aardman has been working on the animation for months now. They have put some short clips on Youtube and Myspace.
Thnks for the info!
