#completely staged

I only want you to focus on the first 2:30 of this video. I have Completely Staged. The Complete Illustrated Scripts (it’s wonderful btw).

David introduces the idea of “sabotage” to Michael, and that is where this section of the script ends in the book.

From :38 -2:29 the whole conversation about Michael’s dad, the playing catch (or throw) David talking about doing the same thing to their dog, all of it IS NOT IN THIS BOOK. I searched everywhere looking for the possibility that maybe it was accidentally printed in a different area, a footnote that it was “accidentally left out, a printing accident?”

But a WHOLE conversation, an important one to the storyline? Therefore I have to go with its improv. And this is the lead up to this absolute iconic connection:

And David is the one in control of it ♥️ look at that twinkle…….🤩

Say what you will, the fire between these two burns brighter than the hellfire Gabriel tried using to destroy Aziraphale. 🔥

The first time/photo of them together as the pandemic is winding down. Social distancing my ass! It wasn’t going to happen. ♥️✨

Palm to palm may be holy palmers kiss, but shoulder to shoulder will start a fire as well. 🔥

Not only my Aziraphale Funko POP has arrived today but the book I ordered also did arrive today. I bought it used in very good condition. The only imperfections are at the corners of the cover with flaps and some glue residue from a price sticker at the back, the book itself is in perfect condition. I am so happy I managed to buy it! There are so many great little doodles and pictures.

Completely Staged, the crowdfunded (hehe, my name is there) publication of all the Staged scripts is out :). It also contains for example the stills in full colour from the show, original drawings, sheet music for the theme tune or Georgia Tennant's carrot cake recipe.

Have a look if your local bookshop or library has it :).

In case anyone here might be interested... They’re releasing a TV companion/script book of Staged!

Starring David Tennant and Michael Sheen (or Michael Sheen and David Tennant), along with a fantastic roll-call of A-list cast members, the British television comedy series Staged has been the international hit to emerge during the global coronavirus pandemic.

Unbound are delighted to present Completely Staged, the show's official companion, containing the complete text of the screenplays from Staged’s writer and director, Simon Evans, and co-creator, Phin Glynn. With a foreword from writer and broadcaster Gyles Brandreth, this handsome hardback is crammed with more than 100 images (many never seen before) – from photographs, screenshots and illustrations, to pages from the musical score and tips on how-to-draw-a-pineapple-David-Tennant-style – along with Simon Evans’s exclusive director’s notes. The book has been compiled and edited by Staged's co-producer Victor Glynn and Sophie Goldsworthy.

Hiya! :) Oh yes! :) When it was still in the 'to be made' or 'not to be made' state I pledged some money :) Very looking forward to it! :) They already showed some promo pics :)
