  • Any behind the scenes slime scenes?

    Long time fan for I would say 25 years at least, I own all episodes but growing and to this day I wish they would release a behind the scenes of how the slime scenes are done. I've read the interview how they do the slime scenes but I was always looking for scenes where they show the ladder and whatever else they used and who got to dump the slime. I remember reading Stephanie Chow only got slimed once but did a lot of slimings, it would have been really funny to see her pouring buckets of slime, Slime on, thanks for any info!

    Episode 14 from the 1979 season shows Kevin Somers getting slimed and Les Lye (as Ross) on top of the ladder holding the slime bucket. It's kind of funny because he starts dumping the slime before Kevin even starts saying "I don't know."

      Nobody but the stage hands did any sliming or watering when I was there. I thought it was a union thing.

        Perhaps by '85 it was a union thing, since I don't remember after '84 any scenes in which one of the cast members was slimed or watered by another cast member. From '79 to '84 it seems it happened quite a bit, whether it was Liz sliming Schenk and Moose in episode 14, Moose sliming Brodie in Sexual Equality, Kevin pouring water on Moose in Sports '82 or Justin sliming Alasdair in Politics (and of course the famous "weather forecast" scene).

          I never thought about that before. Never really noticed either how in later eps, they didn't really have any cast members sliming other cast members, as you pointed out in eps like Sexual Equality or ep 14 with Liz getting mad and sliming Christine and Kevin.

            Christian slimed Ross twice in the Generosity episode.

              It was implied that Christian slimed Ross. However upon reviewing that scene ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYUTWKkm95M starting at 22:11), Christian was never shown actually pouring the slime. He also had a bucket in each hand, so trying to dump the slime would have been somewhat difficult. While Christian may or may not have been responsible for the slimings, he did pull off a prank at 17:18 that I always wanted to do as a kid (but never did).
