I’ve been asked by a couple of people to list the lines that were different in each show I saw, I’m not sure I can remember all of the differences and some sketches like the Dead Parrot sketch went so differently every night that it would make this post a very long one to list just some of the changes but anyway below are some of the ad-libs and corpsing moments for those who asked:
*I should also say that I think they may have been filming for the DVD on Saturday so this is a possible SPOILER ALERT* *Equally most of you saw Sunday’s performance but if you’ve recorded it or you’re going to watch the repeat tonight then yep, SPOILERS below*
Eric introduced Terry Gilliam before the Penis song thus, “Ladies and Gentleman, will you please give a big round of applause for Terry Gilliam, *audience applaud*, who sadly couldn’t be here tonight”
Michael said that he had always wanted to be a “loan adjustor” before he received a postcard from Canada
Eric corpsed during ‘Science Today’ and tried to cover it up with coughing at which point John as Ann Elk said, “You see it’s fun to cough!”
Michael, when asked whether he had any “Armenian string cheese”, said, “I’m wearing it”, causing John to lose it
John corpsed at the very beginning of the Llama opener
Terry J very slightly stuffed his lines during the Four Yorkshiremen sketch, seemingly forgetting them, but saved it just about!
Eric introduced Terry Gilliam with the line, “Ladies and Gentleman, please welcome Terry Gilliam, *audience applaud*, next year’s Eurovision Song Contest entry for England”
Michael announced that he had always wanted to be a “Sperm donor” before he received a postcard from Canada
Terry J completely forgot his line “I didn’t mean what’s on the TV I meant what’s the program?” during the 'What’s on TV’ sketch, and at first everyone thought it was a long pause for comic effect but John obviously saw the terror/confusion in Terry’s eyes and just burst out laughing for about two minutes before finally whispering the line to him
John added a number of extra lines to the 'He is an Ex-Parrot’ speech making Michael corpse, causing John to announce before he even got to the end of the speech that “this isn’t funny you know!”
John once again corpsed at the start of the Llama’s opener
Eric didn’t have a special line for Terry :(
Michael announced that he had always wanted to be a “Systems Analyst” before receiving a postcard from Canada
John nicked the cue card off Terry J during the 'Whizzo Chocolate’ sketch and corpsed at Terry G’s antics
Eric’s moustache partly came off before he finally just ripped it off completely during 'Nudge, Nudge’ (I’ve heard it fell off on a couple of other nights too but at least not on the nights mentioned above)
John mentioned “Dr Chapman” during 'Dead Parrot’
