Also enjoyed "as you know"...reminds me of Kryten's "best guess" from series 5 onwards on Red Dwarf. <BR/><BR/>One of the story tapes I made as a kid employed clumsy exposition in the form of half a conversation on the phone. The whole plot was explained in the form of questions, supposedly repeating the unheard half of the conversation. My brother and I still use "The Lord? At the Manor?" as coded shorthand for, "I see this program's using a crude form of exposition." <BR/><BR/>Neighbours is hilarious for it.Maushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15424063741963301754noreply@blogger.com
