Eynsham Red Jan 2022 9:30am, 18 Jan 2022 8,427 posts	Quote Pin Eynsham Red In one of Chris Stewart’s (Genesis drummer prior to Phil Collins) books, he gives a real insight into the palaver that goes on in trying to create a “natural” arrival of an interviewer. e.g. camera inside the house filming the arrival of the interviewer, shot of interviewer knocking on door and Chris opening it then displaying the “first time we’ve met” welcome.
Sigh Jan 2022 9:35am, 18 Jan 2022 11,120 posts	Quote Pin Sigh The only one I've seen that appears at all natural is Alan Titchmarsh on 'Love Your Garden'. The worst I've seen was Dogs Behaving Badly, where they filmed from insider the dog owner's house as they opened the door to greet Graeme Hall, and the dog owner already had a microphone transmitter pack on her waist at the back.
