I was watching some old episodes of "The Young Ones" on NetFlix a while back, and noticed that they did this in their show quite a lot - each episode had at least one or two images inserted randomly in them for a split second. Nothing to do with the episode story at all.
I was intrigued because I never noticed them decades ago when watching the original series - they are far more obvious to me now. Must have been a common technique at the time, because I remember watching another English show from the same era (the name of the show escapes me), which did the same thing.
- sweis 10y agoDid you ever notice the 5th Young Ones roommate?
- cyberferret 10y agoThat was the OTHER thing that freaked me out when I finally noticed it only recently. I thought he/she was only in a couple of scenes, but then I read a blog post about it which showed him/her in a myriad of other scenes that I had completely missed too!
- Freak_NL 10y agoHuh. I never knew. Someone gathered all the scenes containing him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG2L4QtAGGQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG2L4QtAGGQ It looks like an in-joke of the production team. To be fair, The Young Ones was already quite surrealistic in its humour (e.g., a talking Glaswegian hamster).
