All segments are filmed without any dialogue the audio has sound effects, a laugh track, and music specially composed by Edward Tsyselsky and Sergei Shustov for the series’ producer, AFL Productions. In the same show, an unsuspecting young lady is pulled over by a cop who gets out of his car and starts stripping for her.
NAKED AND FUNNY GAGS SERIES
Thus the name, "Naked and Funny" as well as the series’ logline: "The hidden camera series with an erotic twist." For example, a waitress in a restaurant comes to take an unsuspecting client's order and comes back with his food wearing nothing but lingerie.
What sets this program apart from other hidden camera shows, however, is that it has an erotic element infused into each gag. Each episode presents an average of about 10 pranks. The series uses a hidden camera format, playing harmless but very amusing pranks on unsuspecting subjects while hidden cameras capture their responses.
NAKED AND FUNNY GAGS TV
Following the success in Ukraine and other former USSR markets, the series was commissioned by many international broadcasters including Comedy Central in South Africa, The Netherlands and Germany, Paramount Comedy in the UK, Basque TV in Spain, etc. This tiny national channel hardly maintained an average 0.7-0.8% share at the time, but Naked & Funny brought ratings up to a 6% share in a slot from 11p-12a, which was nearly ten times higher than the average share of the channel.Īt the same time the series was picked up by 1+1 Ukraine but after a few months, another Ukrainian National broadcaster commissioned all seasons to get the exclusive rights to the show for Ukraine. The show was then immediately commissioned by Viasat for its Russian TV channel, DTV.
The Series premiered on LNK, the National Channel in Lithuania with a tremendous share of up to 47%. So I don't think we could do it again.The first season of 24 episodes of Naked & Funny was produced in 2005. "I know a lot of comics have felt that it's really making things difficult because you can't even joke about a mother-in-law anymore. Speaking at the Henley Literature Festival, she mused: "Some of Edina's language and some of her attitudes to things. So fabulous and so funny.”Įarlier this month, Lumley opened up about her belief that many of the ”scandalous” gags in 'Ab Fab' would not make it out of the writing room now, for fear of offending audiences. There was something so fabulous about her. Recalling how Margaret beckoned her into a private box with her lady-in-waiting, Joanna added: "She left the party, opened her bag, got out a small bottle of whisky and a packet of cigarettes, lit up, cigarette holder, and sat there smoking. This is insane.' She was looking pretty bored by the time I arrived.” “I thought, ‘You can’t have a reception with Princess Margaret and not offer any drink. Do not have any drink in theatre, and don’t offer her any drink.' Recounting the anecdote while chatting to broadcaster Gyles Brandreth at event to promote her new book ‘A Queen For All Seasons’, a celebration of British monarch Queen Elizabeth II, Lumley said: "At this moment in strange royal life, everybody said, ‘Princess Margaret is not allowed to drink at the moment. Joanna met Margaret in 1986 at a drinks reception following a performance of 'Blithe Spirit' at London’s Vaudeville Theatre where, despite being informed that Margaret, then 55, was not allowed to drink, she witnessed the royal sip on her own bottle of whisky. The 75-year-old actress' most famous role is playing the hard-drinking, chain-smoking fashionista from the 90s BBC sitcom – which was created by and also starred Jennifer Saunders as disastrous PR guru Edina Monsoon – and she has spilled that Queen Elizabeth's younger sister inspired her take on the character. Joanna Lumley has revealed that Princess Margaret was the “prototype for Patsy” from 'Absolutely Fabulous'. The Queen's sister Princess Margaret's penchant for a drink provided inspiration for Joanna Lumley's portrayal of Patsy Stone in 1990s BBC sitcom 'Absolutely Fabulous'
