'Secrets': what do you think?

I can't find any posts about this so I thought I'd start one! Has anyone watched 'Secrets,' that Palin/Jones play that's on the Ripping Yarns special features? It's the one about chocolates and cannibalism. I think it's awesome - not Pythonesque comedy, but that doesn't matter; it's compelling and thought-provoking and of course, very funny in places. Especially the bit with the tea lady!

genji: I have it now. Haven't watched yet (hopefully tomorrow).

Tanya_Birklid19: Hhhmmm. . . cannibalism. . . well, I do have the Complete Ripping Yarns, but it doesn't have 'Secrets' on it. Unless it's a false advertisement and it IS on it.

I guess all the versions of the DVD might not be the same. What special features does your version have?

well, there's the usual commentaries and laugh track free audio. Then there's the Comic Roots: Michael Palin, MP's original scripts, deleted scene, restoration clip . . . I'm guessing it's completely different then.

MY copy of Ripping Yarns has the same features. I wonder, do the extra features you get on the dvd depend on what country your in?

I've got all that, + Secrets. How odd! I've been doing a bit of research as a matter of fact, and it seems that the U.S. version doesn't have Secrets on it. I might try and post it - but I've only just joined this site and I'm not sure about being able to post up a whole thing.

I'd love to see it if you can post it.

Perhaps this will help:

Thanks arkennedy. I'll have a go. A quick question though: can you post videos on this site if you don't have Mashcast? Being a Mac user I can't get it, and the one clip I tried to post hasn't worked, it's said 'processing' for a few days now.

You're welcome.

Yes you can post videos without mashcast. You can either upload them from a file on your computer or embed them from another website.

Here's a list of websites you can embed videos from:
Blip.tv, Dailymotion, Google, Last.fm, MySpace, UStream.TV, UStream.TV (Live Streams), Vimeo, YouTube

If embedding has been disabled we usually post the link to the video.

I'm not sure why the video you already tried to post didn't work. It sounds like a glitch to me. Hanri: http://pythonline.com/users/hanri and ScottP: http://pythonline.com/users/scottp are two of the administrators of this site and are both good at helping people with things like this so maybe they can help figure out why your video didn't post.

Thanks - Hanri already said the video would come up eventually so I guess I'll wait a bit more and then seek help! Either way: Secrets coming soon to a post near you!
