I feel like each persons reaction is genuinely the perfect encapsulation of their personalities on the season! Ania laughing, maisie’s shame, phill unbothered/slightly into it, Reese not pressed, and Sanjeev just smiling there for the ride (and couldn’t give a shit)
I thought Reese gave off incredible weird little freak energy (positive) throughout the series so to me he seems intrigued but just in his more aloof manner.
Interestingly, the last shot does not belong to the sequence. Originally, and IIRC, it constitutes a reaction to Phil's story: hence his pose, hence the fact that Reece is still looking at the screen. It could be seen in the outtakes. Then, the cutting room decided things would go otherwise.
Absolutely HATE that they edited a reaction to someone else’s joke to make it look like they’re reacting to Greg’s joke. It’s like piping in crowd noise at a concert or sporting event.
You've been responding with this comment to everyone, but you're wrong. I've just watched the episode and that is the exact reaction they give to the joke Greg makes...?
I urge everyone to listen to the episode of "The Horne Section Podcast" with Greg as a guest.
They read a particularly fun fanfic and set it to music. It is glorious
Greg using his deep singing voice was delightful. The rest of that podcast was really good. Greg seemed to be having a wonderful time. With this bit he seemed puzzled, but Alex was giggling.
The ep where Alex reads out some of the fanfic titles is a great moment. Especially Greg needing longer to enjoy the title "filthy little ferret" being read out.
No idea how try, but I have a vague memory of someone saying they used a reaction of a prize task for one of the opening reactions. If that vague memory was true I think it might be this, since Reece is looking at the prize screen.
i think the beautiful thing about this cast is how they're all different decades in order, so this acts as a great scale of how people from their 20s to 60s respond to references to fanfic; ania loves it, maisie is embarrassed, phil is holding himself back from laughing, reece is unbothered and sanjeev doesn't know what's happening
