Posted on September 1, 2013 by Lee

We launch a brand new make over show, Changing You with Marcelle & Dave and learn what it’s really like to be a professional Voice Over Voice Over-er.

Video Extra: Behind The Scenes

Posted on January 17, 2013 by Lee

When we recorded the Christmas Special of 4amcab way back in December of last year, we decided it might be a nice extra treat to do a bit of behind the scenes filming. I took along a camera phone and did my best in amongst directing and recording the episode. So, join us in a back room in the basement of the Alban Arena in St Albans to see how the show is put together. Included in the vodcast, for that’s what a podcast with pictures is called, we’ll see the actors running through some of the scenes and also hear the final mix that was included in the series finale.

The real reason we all do this, though, is to have an excuse to go down the pub, so we did a bit of filming over a pint or two afterwards. A big thanks to Chris Baker, Chris Luck, Anna MacLeod Franklin, Will Franklin, Jo Emery, Dan Warren and Helen Miller for not only being flippin’ brilliant in the show but also for agreeing to let me film them without giving any notice whatsoever.

News about Series Two of 4amcab will emerge shortly but in the meantime, here’s a look at some of the faces behind the characters from the show. Enjoy.

S1Ep7: Christmas Special

Posted on December 22, 2012 by Lee

Ding Dong Misery on High!

It’s Christmas in the Forest of Codeine and Derek the Bi Polar Bear is not quite feeling the spirit. That is until Santa gets into a bit of trouble with Rudolph (not that kind of trouble) and our unwilling hero is brought in to save Christmas.

Meanwhile, Mairead is feeling the Christmas blues, until a chance meeting with Derek shows her that Q Shop really would be a sadder place without her.

The climax to series one of 4amcab sees some of our favourite characters shoe horned in and old gags revisited, now with added jingle bells.
