The Actors' Rehearsals (Preview)
Practice makes perfect makes preview.
The writers were all talk. Will the actors be more pro-active? Or pro-acting? Or pro-activia? What does that even mean?
Rehearsal footage. More on the way.

Ash
Yep, forty days and forty nights of silence.
Zip. Nada. Sweet FA. Diddley Squat.
Unless something more important to me than a semi-religious principle-connected-to-a-God-I-don't-believe-in happens tomorrow, but what are the odds?

Shrove
pinch of salt
2 eggs
200ml milk mixed with 75ml/3fl oz water
50g butter
caster sugar
lemon juice
lemon wedges
Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl with a sieve held high above the bowl so the flour gets an airing. Now make a well in the centre of the flour and break the eggs into it. Then whisk the eggs, incorporating any bits of flour from around the edge of the bowl as you do so.
Next gradually add small quantities of the milk and water mixture, and whisk until the batter is smooth, with the consistency of thin cream. Melt the 50g of butter and spoon 2 tablespoons of it into the batter and whisk it in, then pour the rest into a bowl and use it to lubricate the pan, using a wodge of kitchen paper to smear it round before you make each pancake.
Heat the pan so it's really hot, then turn the heat down to medium and do a test pancake to see if you're using the correct amount of batter. Two tablespoons should be about right for an 18cm pan. As soon as the batter hits the hot pan, tip it around from side to side to get the base evenly coated with batter. They should take only half a minute or so to cook. Flip the pancake over, the other side will only need a few seconds, then slide it out of the pan onto a plate.
To serve, spinkle each pancake with freshly squeezed lemon juice and caster sugar, fold in half, then in half again to form triangles, or else simply roll them up. Serve sprinkled with a little more sugar and lemon juice.
Toss.

Hair-Dos & Don'ts
"Can we see the writer's meeting for this one please?"
"ok....i knew women could be vain about their hair......but pretending to kill yourself is a little extreme don't you think?...it's just with someone having recently committed suicide over the internet with people watching...it makes it a little inappropriate. i mean i get it....he does controversial jokes and skits...but if you ask me this one was done in bad taste.most of the other stuff posted is pretty good =D...but that's just my opinion"
"I think that the most productive thing to do after watching any comedy video is to bitch about all the possible ways in which it might be considered offensive or inappropriate. Having an opinion on some other aspect--such as, for instance, whether or not it's funny--is so yesterday."
"very funny...!!"
"quite funny! It does touch an a serious subject to a lot of people. But he makes you see how silly it is to get upset over something that grows back. Hollywood (at least in the USA) has taught us that your outward appearance should be of utmost importance...so much so that people do become devestated over crappy haircuts and cheap clothing. Maybe I'm reading too much into it."
"I really liked it"
"By my hairy axe wound, that's bleak. Was blatantly thinking "but his feet can touch the floor tho... did that mean he broke his neck as he put his weight into the noose? you'd have to be a pretty good knot tying person to be able to make sure the noose would break your neck on the first fall... so was he perhaps a member of the scouts or something...oh. oh, it's finished. My that was bleak. When's the funny bit coming...?""

De En Ay
The number of haplotypes posted has risen to 18. The predominant signature is an Ultra-Norse variant of I1a, which means this signature has obviously been native to the family for a very long time, as it is prevalent across the various different versions of the surname - e.g., Carruthers, Carothers, Crothers and Cruthirds. Those testing the DNA suspect the founders of the Carruthers family were of Viking or Norse-Gaelic descent.
