absolutely never would have guessed the twist to diddle diddle dumpling!

[spoilers]

who would ever suspect that a tiny fella like reece might take a size 9?!

"on the town with the league of gentlemen" thoughts!

(bearing in mind that i have not fully [re-]watched the tv series yet)

i almost prefer it to the tv series? which is weird bc no visuals. but the immediacy of the audience connection makes it feel a bit less uncomfortable. (yes i am a wuss, what am i doing in this fandom :P)

ditto the fact that literally all of the parts are played by them, inc misc small children, etc!

LOVE the way in which this ends up subverting chloe and radclyffe away from the classic creepy twins trope XD mark is having so much fun :'D

general fascinated nerding-out over the ways certain scenes/characters/arcs do/don't change/evolve between the two versions/to suit the strengths of the different media 8)

soft spot for some of the characters that don't appear in the tv series, e.g. Answerphone Man, Reg Ingleby :D some delightful voice work <3

i am worse at telling apart their voices (when the characters are unfamiliar) than i thought i would be :P i think i mostly got it though

two whole scenes which reece carries by having a duologue between himself?? (stella/reg, bernice/benjamin.) which rarely if ever happens in the tv series? even though they could easily get around it with camera angles/lack of live audience? FUN.

(maybe sometimes the others too but lbr i'm only paying attention to reece)

feels like getting the makeup on really helped reece round geoff out properly :P

the way the lack of visuals means that when a reece character is suffering he properly goes hard on the whining and whimpering in order to sell it :3

i feel like barbara is a bit more humanised (/less dehumanised) in the radio version!! she gets a romance arc and everything. justice for barbara < / 3

you know when you consume a media when you're like 12 and you pick up a meme from it that just becomes part of your vocabulary forevermore without really remembering the origin? OH SO THAT'S WHY in my head it's mandatory to mock-argue about whether the trivial pursuit counters are wedges of cheese or pieces of pie :D that was a pleasant little brain clunk :)

(for the record i'm with stella)

hoist by my own pet toad THEY FUCKING WENT THERE XD can't remember if this ended up in the tv series too, but if it didn't, they're cowards :P

all in all, strong recommend, lots to enjoy, wish there was more meta about it :')

only just clocked that that selfie's on the tube! feeling some kind of way about that o.O

"hallowe'en is my favourite day of the year", says socially anxious man with public profile :P

I know these are bad but I was so excited to see his costume and desperate to get a pic of him sipping through the straw

[fecklesheckleshacklesschmeckles]

have to go to london for A Scary Thing tomorrow and have just realised i'll be in reece & steve's old stomping ground (highgate) and a stone's throw from the area where they now live (muswell hill) so... that's a good omen maybe...?

pembersmith freaks! what are some notable landmarks i should know about and could soothe myself by looking out for? 👀

reece shearsmith failing to understand a) sex b) his own scripts, in9 s3 commentary edition:

riddle of the sphinx: sleazy crossword man tells paralysed young woman he's going to the toilet, steve says at least it's just a number 1; obviously the other option would be wanking, reece assumed it was shitting

empty orchestra: steve rhapsodises at length about his strap-on erection; reece assumes it's been caused by the placebo effect of the "viagra" tic-tac, having apparently failed to notice the part where he's just spent half a song emotionally cuddling tamzin outhwaite dressed as amy winehouse

dude, you wrote this! i mean... you did write this, right? you seem so surprised by the implications :P

[fecklesheckleshacklesschmeckles]

absolutely zero regrets for bringing back that one photo XD y'all's tag game is strongggg

@ #1 the healing power of reece's tits!! that's adorable, i'd love to hear more <3

[fecklesheckleshacklesschmeckles]

turns out someone has uploaded the whole thing to youtube (with random photos of reece as the visuals)! they have one playlist for each of the two series (plus a bunch of other reecey stuff which looks worth checking out). i listened to it via a different source which i can share if still needed, but h/t to @dangerliesbeforeyou for tipping me off to the youtube ones :)

the Scary Thing went... well i think! <3 didn't have enough time to explore muswell hill, but wandered around highgate wood a bit, in the appropriately creepy fog :) tried hard to manifest one or both of them onto the tube with me and i'm sure it almost would have worked ;)
