Title: The Videotape
littlered - November 1, 2006 10:29 AM (GMT)
So, according to Martin, Guy gave him the tape because he was very drunk and thought he was a priest; we can assume that this was somewhere between Episiode 9 of Series 1 and Episode 1 of Series 2 (because obviously the tape wasn't made until Episode 9, and we didn't see it happen in Episode 1). So how did Mac know that Guy had mistaken Martin for a priest? He must have been in an coma at the time, and I highly doubt anyone would have mentioned it to him (plus, he talks about it as if he was there) - it makes no sense.

Ooh yeah :blink:
But Guy might have said something to Mac in the episode aftre he woke from his coma

well, the tape thing is in episode 3, and by the sounds of it, guy gave martin the tape the night before that episode! and mac woke up in ep 1... so it does make sense!
unless i'm wrong of course lol

yeah mac was definately there n theres differening time gaps between eps... for al we know ep 2 could be a week or so after ep 1

but i thought that the episodes were like a day after?
but Guy probably told Mac

but didnt mac say that guy was drunk when he told him
littlered - November 1, 2006 07:29 PM (GMT)
Yeah, it sounded like Mac was saying Guy had told him at the time (which seems very unlikely).

Mac must have been there because mac says

or words to that effect
I'm thinking that it was after ep 2 because it is like a morning after thing if you get me.
xpingux - November 1, 2006 09:35 PM (GMT)
Yeah
or maybe it was at the end of episode 1? cos guy was already in the bar
PigRescuer - November 2, 2006 05:22 PM (GMT)
It was after Mac woke up, silly billys.
There's obviously a gap between the eps, he wouldn't be allowed back at work straight away with no check ups or anything, and we know he had a check up cos he talks about it at the begihnning of 2.2
The whole tape thing is in 2.2, after Mac wakes up.
They're not all teh night after each other.
In fact, I'm pretty sure they wanted them to be about a week apart, because Mac's memory was blurry about 8 weeks before the incident, ie,from just after Caroline arrived.
They were calmly ignoring teh fact that 1.1 and 1.2 and 1.5 and 1.6 are the night after each other.
Anyway.
Yeah, it was obivously after Mac woke up. He was probably having a celebratory 'yay i woke up' drink.

o.k this is probably wrong but bear with me..
i vaguely remeber Boyce and Martin having a conversation in which marting was dressed up to hide from karen (i remember a beard...). does this have anything to do with this, or am i being very stupid?
beautifulday - November 2, 2006 06:47 PM (GMT)
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm u could be onto something there
newestgreenwingfan01 - November 2, 2006 06:47 PM (GMT)
okay im sticking to the theory that guy and mac went for a drink together after mac woke up from the coma and guy told mac he was stupid to videotape something and that he was gonna destroy it or something but then they bumped into martin (dressed as a priest) and guy was too drunk to notice but mac was probably too sensible to drink much
only theory that makes sense :P
beautifulday - November 2, 2006 06:51 PM (GMT)
mac never gets drunk unlike guy
PigRescuer - November 2, 2006 06:56 PM (GMT)
hehehe
I wrote a fic were he got drunk once and was rude to MBG. :D
I enjoyed that...
Anyway, yes, Martin was dressed up to hide from Karen. He lookd like Micheal Jackson and also a priest.
he says this in the scene were he discusses breaking up with Karen with Boyce, and again in the scene where he tell Sue what happened.
Chuh.
Does anyone actually watch GW?
beautifulday - November 2, 2006 07:06 PM (GMT)
how dare u of course i watch it!!!!!!!!!!
ahah but he got drunk in a fic not the same thing

Do you mean that these were the same outfit?!? Only I've always thought that they were two different outfits (ie. we never get to see Martin as a priest, we only hear about it, because the joke has already been set up by the fact that he was previously using an equally ineffective Michael Jackson disguise)
madelinenancy - November 3, 2006 05:11 PM (GMT)
i think mac wud be good drunk. less resrved like.
plus WHY DID WE NOT SEE HIM DANCE in the party one in ep 1? v anoyed about that. :bangh well not that <- anoyed bt they dont have an angry face thingy.
bingle - November 3, 2006 05:18 PM (GMT)
According to my other half, some men 'just don't dance'.
Maybe he's a bad dancer? Or maybe he's too cool to dance? Or maybe he just felt he couldn't match up to Guy's dance moves?!!!!
My monies on the 'too cool' idea.
swiss boy lover - November 3, 2006 06:06 PM (GMT)
:lol: :lol:
i could NEVER imagine him dancing
he's the dude in the leather jacket who stands around in partys with a can of beer looking cool, who all the girls giggle over and dare eachother to talk to him
beautifulday - November 3, 2006 07:00 PM (GMT)

But that's teh kind of thing he would say.
He's so modest, he feels the need to tell us who he is when he signs autogrpahs.
