Talking Telephone Numbers Breakdown ITV 1996 Phillip Schofield Emma Forbes

Ойын-сауық

With thanks to the original uploader
A breakdown occurs live on ITV gameshow Talking Telephone Numbers. The first 15 minutes shows how the breakdown goes out on ITV in the Carlton London region. The following 15 minutes shows the footage again with the gallery talkback audio added.
Note the frustration at the end of the video behind the scenes of Phillip Schofield demanding to wait until he's calmed down until he records trails.

Really interesting hearing the panic in the gallery when the VT went haywire. There’s been countless TV breakdown clips on KZread, but this is the first one where I’ve heard what ‘colourful language’ has been uttered behind the scenes.

    @@UKArchiveTV Yes, for timings and control purposes, the first number generating games were pre-recorded earlier in the day but all the links and the final number selection was always completely live in order to preserve the fact that the final sequence of numbers was never known and couldn’t be corrupted or leaked etc. I think that many felt that this was some kind of scam or dishonesty but I truly believe that nobody felt that any wrongdoing or dishonesty was occurring at the time. It was just a practical production method that prevented some of the games going on and on and possibly leading to an impossible overrun of time and being unable to complete the show. By always keeping that last number unknown, I don’t think it even occurred to production that they were doing anything either misleading or dishonest. Don’t forget that this was the very first “live” scandal before the phone in frauds etc that followed which (rightly)led to the demand for transparency about issues like these. However, unlike those scandals to come - this one has no adverse or unfair impact on the viewers or contestants. Nothing was pre determined or rigged. The number generated was completely random and the outcome of the show was never affected. Also, considering it was the only really possible way of keeping the show to time - how would that be explained on air? What difference would it have made had they done so besides confusing viewer with the behind the scenes operations of TV production? That said, when the curtain did slip in such a public way - man, that studio’s environment that night was beyond brutal! 😩

    I love this video, I worked as a medic on east enders / holby for about a year and just loved wating all that happens with tv production. I stopped in the end as it was about 2 hoyrs from my home and too much. So, with this clip - I guess a lot of this live production was pre-recorded. Human league was live I'm guessing but Richard Digance was not live? It is a bit confusing to try and work this out! What happened? Is the VT person responsible for 'playing back' the pre-recorded stuff? How come he made such an error! Twice! To me, it either comes across as someone soooo useless at their job or doing it maliciously. I guess the public thinks it's all live and this shows it isn't. Would he have lost his job? With all the orders from the ?producer, who then does all this as it seems too quick for someone to do this on hearing this, it's almost like he is doing it himself. Is the lady the assistant producer? Trails down the line, what's that? Who is Pres, they refer to? They mention Carlton? Is this company producing this live clip for ITV and ITV is overseeing it for their next show / commercials / timings etc? Can you tell me what they would have done if the first caller had got the answers right!? How would they of filled 5 mins! Do they have contingency as it doesn't sound like they do! Would they have expected Phil to just have waffled on? Would they have got fined etc, even when they came out on time? Literally, any links appreciated as I do admire what you do with your jobs. Maybe I should get into the TV medic role again. So many questions, I just this clip, thanks 4 sharing! I'm a paramedic but this seems like more stress than my job and I'm not convinced I could do it! The numbers with the live music, I've read the comments and tried to research this but I'm still lost. Is she just assisting with the different camera views, but everyone should know which shots to go to? The notes of the song, I just still can't work it out! Any links to this relating to TV production? Can you imagine if they messed up the audio with Human League! It would have looked so obvious re lip sync! Any help / links on this appreciated, I have such a curious mind and am fascinated by this clip, I've watched it loads of times. I once went into the 'Enders production suite (someone got a bee sting or something) and saw their 3 roles but this was all not live with a link to the director. Even that was so interesting. The Elstree site was amazing, all that site predominantly for Holby and Enders - god, the money in TV just shocked me! All that site for what is effectively 3 hours of TV a week - Jesus! Maybe I'm in the wrong career lol! I get appreciation from the public for what I do, but seeing this, I think what you do is unseen and if the public knew you would get appreciation too! (Hope that makes sense!).

    I'll chip in what I can, but beware, once you start working in live you'll learn to live the wave of stress with all the tension released when you go off air... Yes, lots of live TV is pre-recorded where possible. That may be so you can cut an unknown poerformance (eg Digence's set) for length, it may be because Digence had somewhere to be that evening and could record his segment earlier in the day, or just to simplify(!) the live show to play in a package and have a breather. Human League was shot live (you can see the audience in reverse shots) insofar as they mimed live, so timing is guaranteed. The numbers read out are cues for reference so everyone can know where in the performance they are. The vision mixer will be using them based on rehearsals to know when to cut to close-ups etc, and where they have a big camera move to pick up a detail. Cameras will generally be told to "you track the main singer, you cover the wide and the backing singers, ..." etc. but certain cues will require repositioning, so they'll be listening for those cues for camera moves. VT is Video Tape and yes it's someone pressing "play" - this will be a mechanical issue, they hit play at the right times etc. No jobs would have been lost. That's the director you're hearing. And IDK the exact name in TV terms, might be "showcaller" for the lady, going through the master cues list and calling out when cues need to go, keeping everyone informed and being unflappable. In live, much like being a pilot, you don't have time to flap, you act. What gets played out where, when and who by (trailers, adverts, etc) was complicated when ITV was the regions but doing national shows. Ads and trailers may have been played locally per region whilst the show relayed nationally, so "networks" would have to make sure the right feeds were going to the right places at the right times. It can sometimes include oddities like local weather, for instance. Get yourself into a live TV gallery one day - it's a circus but compelling. There's also a clip you might like from 1977 Eurovision with Stewart Morris - again you might understand only a percentage of it, but it's compelling.

Are they the equivalent of ITV i.e. the main channel which follows after this programme and they need to know if they will leave the live show on time? Presumably, someone from the main channel is watching to ensure this happens, are they heard in this clip at all? The image where the fault occurs i.e. the show's image appears after the fault, does someone in this show put this up or ITV equivalent? Also, the announcer, are they from this live show or ITV equivalent? Last one! You always hear an announcer when there is a fault on shows and you hear them quite quickly!

    @@rikgray9770 Hi Rik, rather a lot about internal distribution of programs changed over the era with the different ITV franchises, and I'm only really familiar with how it is today, so to a certain extent this is conjecture on my part. Presentation is functionally synonymous with the MCR or Master Control Room for the network. Where all the BT lines and microwave links from the different studios and sources (and feeds from other ITV franchises) come in, be mixed with adverts and are played out to the transmitters. This was normally staffed whenever the channel was on air. It's closely linked to the announcer you mention as there would tend to be what's known as a continuity announcer on standby in a sound booth near the MCR, their job was (and still is in the UK as all the big channels still have them, even if regionallity and how often they're truly 'live' has decreased) to announce any channel level changes. I.e keep people up to date with late schedule changes, announce the next program coming up, keep people up to date with technical faults etc... When the director and producers are talking to presentation here, they are explaining to Carlton's central control what's happening, to allow Carlton to make any timing changes that might need to be made or put up the holding card as you saw on the 'off-air' (or as received from the transmitters) vision. Those holding cards used to be mandatory on live programs, as program links from the studios are not as reliable as they are today, and pres would need something to cut too if they lost signal or a similar scenario such as this. The "main channel" as you refer to it essentially didn't exist at this point. Theoretically, every ITV channel had its own local output, and thus there was no national control. Of course, this was mostly cobblers, and as today regional variations were not the norm. The largest portion of programs would be fed to other franchises by means of them rebroadcasting each other, and having their individual MCRs cut away at the correct times for adverts. For this to work, timing is crucial and there were various means of communicating with the different franchises when things would be happening, including 'open TalkBack' and 'cue dots'. This never stopped the occasional cock-up though. You can't hear the presentation director here (the one in the MCR working for Carlton), but they are likely talking over an open line to the other network control rooms currently rebroadcasting Carlton's content, advising them of potential overruns to the program, and whether they have enough time to have their own continuity announcers declare the fault and ask viewers not to go anywhere. Talking telephone numbers wasn't at a particularly sensitive time, so they could afford to overrun a bit. But Coronation Street on afterwards was fed by Granada from Manchester, so it was important to ensure everyone knew not to cut over their feeds too early. But rambly, because KZread won't let me see what you wrote while I write. But I hope that answers some of your questions 😅.

    I believe, by 1995, there was an ITV Network Centre and all programmes were patched through the LWT building which Carlton, GMTV and LWT all came out of. So Emmerdale would have gone Leeds > London > Network. TTT would have gone from Fountain into the South Bank then back out to Network. However, of course, those outside London wouldn't have seen the Carlton holding slide, these would be generated locally and the regions' incoming feed would still be getting the cockups. So "Pres" in this case would be relaying this all down an open line, or possibly the Red Phone, to each region's control room. The "off air" feed is Carlton because they were in Wembley, if they'd been in, say, Norwich, then your "off air" feed would have been Anglia.

    "Off air" is the name of one of the feeds that is piped around the studio complex - rather than watching what comes out of the gallery, they show exactly what people at home are seeing, so if there's a break in transmission or similar, the studio will know quickly. Anyway, likely it was recorded to the same tape "off air" on one audio channel, gallery on the other, so a bit of bleed.

    Talkback was in the gallery at Fountain. However, Carlton would have "presented" the show to Network - so it would have been routed through the South Bank where Calrton and LWT playout both were, before going to the regions. The individual regions wouldn't have linked up with Fountain.

    It sounds like they record the off-air output for complaince/record keeping and perhaps they also keep the gallery talkback audio for reference along with it (someone mentions hearing the talkback on the off-air, which suggests it's one tape with the left/right channels doing both programme audio and the gallery.

    No, the plunger result was predetermined. It's discussed in the gallery as to how they were going to fill the lost time. Phillip requested to take three calls, which the gallery had already just decided upon themselves, so they deliberately put through two callers on-air who had provided wrong answers to the operator. The first caller changing one of his answers could have seen him win, and leave the show with much more time to fill than they had content to do so with. Luckily for them, one of his other answers was also wrong.

    I don't know all the ins and outs and the various people involved OR how the tech worked at the time, but roughly: A member of the production team will have prepared a shot list, planning cuts between the various cameras and zooming in etc to give a dynamic feel to the song, as was the fashion at the time. It wasn't all made up on the fly, I think this would have been prepared this at the rehersal. For example, it looks like at 21:05 we have shot 72, an arty zoom in by a camera into the keyboard player. For the live performance, the vision mixer needs to make all these cuts but they can't operate the desk and read from the shot list, so the PA (production assistant) is "calling the shots". They are counting to keep in time to the music, and to keep their place in the song, although at times this has gone out of the window due to all the fuss going on. She holds it together very well. Interwoven with the shot numbers are beats in bar 1, 2, 3, 4 so she knows where she is, but as muscians do, they will often count "*1*, 2, 3, 4, *2*, 2, 3, 4, *3*, 2, 3, 4, *4*, 2, 3, 4" so they can keep track of the bar and the beat. It looks like the shot 72 on the keyboard was planned to last 2 bars so she called "72.....(pause 3 beats) 2 (second bar), 2 (beat) , 3 (beat), 4 (beat), 73 (next shot, band in a line looking stoopid)". It seems a lot of the planning went out of the window and the vision mixer was guessing a lot of the time.

    They come up with a timed shot list, but they time it based on the beats/bars. So she's counting the beats/bars and calling the shot number. So either she, or the person operating the vision mixer, hits the right cameras on the beat. It's super complicated, but for people who direct music on TV it's the way they work - there's a good example kzread.info/dash/bejne/doRms7Gmfpidmbg.html

    With live game shows some parts aren't live. In this case they would have recorded the number generation parts of the programme earlier in the day and the last part when they are talking to the people on the phone is live. It wouldn't be easy to do the whole programme live because they need to know the numbers generated and varify with an independent adjudicator that the numbers were generated to the rules of the game. They would need to varify after each number generated, if those parts were live they would need to take a break after each number generation. Very few game shows are live because if the independent adjudicator feels that an answer is insufficient or the presenter asked the question wrong they can hold the programme.
