I loved this but how on earth did they do it?

twitter.com/profcarycooper/status/1483469588042063873?s=21

Are Vicky McClure and the other fellas really on it?

I wondered the same! Don't know the answer...

PeggyGa · 18/01/2022 16:33

Unless it’s impersonators? So good and clever though. I just thought it was a bit too political for them to be involved in it

Looks like old clips of LOD with Vicky McClure etc doing new voice overs? And then Boris edited in.

Adrian Dunbar did another a few weeks ago.

That's not their voices but it's very clever

PeggyGa · 18/01/2022 17:37

It totally sounds like them!

Absolutely brilliant. Someones got their voices to a tee

Flowertailbird · 18/01/2022 17:41

Not their voices

H1978 · 18/01/2022 17:45

Brilliant!

danni0509 · 18/01/2022 17:46

I'm surprised it's not their voices because it sounds exactly like their voices!!

shivermetimbers77 · 18/01/2022 17:56

I reckon it absolutely is them, voices recorded over zoom or something. I’ve no doubt Jed Mercurio would agree to this as he isn’t afraid to express an opinion and the BBC have been royally stitched up by this government this week so I suspect they just said go on but don’t say we agreed. Good on them.

OperationRinka · 18/01/2022 18:14

Mercurio and McClure have retweeted it with no comment. Compston hasn't and Dunbar doesn't seem to have a Twitter account.

It's such a high profile show for the BBC that they'd be in slightly dodgy territory if they officially put their names to it, we may be in "don't ask don't tell".

rrhuth · 18/01/2022 18:16

It was very Shock to watch!

MouseyMoose · 18/01/2022 18:35

I'm sure it was confirmed Adrian Dunbar took part in the last one so can't see why they wouldn't have taken part in this one too, Jed Mercurio isn't afraid to say what he thinks.

PeggyGa · 18/01/2022 20:43

It’s so their voices it must be them. I think you are right

NameChangesforNoman · 18/01/2022 20:50

That is totally Vicky’s voice.

PeggyGa · 19/01/2022 12:37

It’s so funny!!

Normandy144 · 19/01/2022 12:45

It's definitely their voices. Some of the audio is the original audio from the show but new audio has been recorded and edited in.

LeQuern · 19/01/2022 12:48

It’s very easy to record audio via voicenotes and drop it in to the edit.

Jed is pretty vocally left wing - easy enough to assume he wrote the script, emailed it to the team, they recorded their parts on their phones, sent it in and an editor pulled the clips together.

DappledThings · 19/01/2022 13:07

On the last one Jed Mercurio was asked on twitter if it was really Adrian Dunbar and he gave a "I can neither confirm or deny" type response so I'm pretty sure that was a confirmation and it's all of them.

TonytheDog · 19/01/2022 13:15

Brilliant! 👏 👏

Feministwoman · 19/01/2022 13:45

That is fabulous!

I'm curious, are right-wing people angry about the conservatives breaking the rules?

I'm fairly left-wing, I'm not particularly angry about the above because I don't think the rich ever follow the rules, they leave that to the 'plebs' so I adopt a similar attitude - even though I'm not rich! And also my friends/family/career etc didn't really suffer because of lockdown/Covid, it's going to suffer a lot because of Brexit, but much less so/none from Covid.
Boris is considered a baboon, a liar and inept already before this story broke in my circle.

So aren't any right-wing people upset/angry about this? I guess that why he's still here and Matt Hancock went when he shagged a woman?

PeggyGa · 19/01/2022 16:54

I wonder why Vicky or Martin or even Jed didn’t tweet or share it?

OP posts:
LutherRalph1 · 19/01/2022 16:57

I think it's Vicky's voice but I don't think it's Martins

Jed Mercurio tweeted it. That's where I first saw it.
