Cheers to 50 Years Lucy Review
by Jo
Cheers
to 50 years just aired, a fun look back at 50 years of TV in New
Zealand, panel show with Lucy featured on Simon Dallow's team,
Team Dallow (being a panel show screen time was shared across 8
panel members and host, mainly focussed on the teams as a
whole).
Embarrassingly fun old retro clips to introduce the panel.
Lucy's clip? - Xena of course, from Season 3's 'Gabrielle's
Hope', running after Gabby, that thing you're holding is a
monster! (something other than Xena could have been more fun
maybe, but that's just me). The show was many varying rounds
from theme tunes, University challenge, what's my line style
mystery guests, to adverts - a highlight of which was Lucy &
Simon recognising their advert, excitingly breaking into its
song then singing along to the entire advert as it was played
:-)
Video clips - Lucy & Simon singing the Kentucky Fried Chicken
advert was great, spontaneous as they both got so excited, we
know this, we know this, looked at each other and started to
sing the old advert (LOL) then sang along to it as it was
replayed, they both knew all the words. The lines in a show
segment of Lucy 'singing' a line from a TV show is probably a
clip too - here's a line from a script, now read it in the style
of a musical, which of course got passed to Lucy to do so she
'sang' this random line from some random TV show, in her own
style of course :-)
Lots of buzzing, questions and laughter, all in all a fun show,
which didn't take itself too seriously, lots of laughter and a
good time.
Oh, and Lucy's team won! as chosen by the theatre's audience.
On a side note, the show also had a segment of those TV
celebrities no longer with us - which included a quick clip of
Kevin Smith. Gone, but never forgotten.
The audience was made up of Kiwi celebs & TV actors and everyday
folk.
and for those interested....Lucy
