might seem irrelevant. After entire, it was a comedy show. It wasn't averaged apt be realistic, or even approach to life. Besides, everyone in Britain knew the name Tony Hancock. He was a comedian, right? Well, actually, not. When the writers were interviewed some years ago, they were asked that quite question: why had Hancock never really been described as a funny in anyone of the episodes? The stories forever contained him alive in some arrange of run-down outskirts of London, periodically shrieked East Cheam; in one unkempt house, sometimes in a road phoned 'Railway Cuttings'; periodically alone and sometimes with one classification of friends that embodied Sid James,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Hattie Jacques and Kenneth Williams, all fine comic actors. In the afterward series, the pals were axed, an at 1, and Hancock did all the sitcom ashore his own. (It was likewise an of the things he was notable for: the more famous he got, the extra paranoid and solitary he became.) But what did he do? The writers smiled and said that was one of the amusement things they did: they varied it from incident to incident. Most of the period he was described as an performer, but in some of the stories he was incredibly penniless, unknown and struggling, when in others, he was famous, a family name, recognised in the street and creature given awards for his masterpiece. The writers were easily bored, they said, so they had amusement with the symbol, and made him different from week to week. The curious entity, they said, was that not one seemed to notification.
Now we could be generous and mention that 'Of course people noticed'. They saw the kind, saw the joke, and laughed according. Unfortunately, that would be extremely unusual. Think of a more recent comedy series, like 'Friends'. One of the characters, Joey, was assumed to be an actor. For much of the earlier series, he was a struggling actor, with the casual bout of small portions. Later, he attained a normal gig as 'Dr Drake Ramore' in a television soap opera. But it didn't alteration week by week! Over the way of a series, the character Chandler lost his job, was unemployed for a while and then took up an internship in advertising. Remember that? The character Monica was a chef and was in dictate of a cafeteria for a while. But not equitable for one week! The fact is that it is very, very strange to have a comedy series in which the cardinal character changes his life as constantly as Hancock, while still retaining the same character. One week he was an actor on a West Country harvesting radio soap opera called 'The Bowmans'. Anyone remember that? It was for one week, and was never said afresh. How odd is that? It would be as whereas Homer Simpson was marital to Marge one week, and a unattached bachelor the next. We know thatHomer takes baby boom to be an astronaut,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a singer in a Barbershop quartet, and a human cannonball, but we also know thathe has a regular job in the power vegetation. What if the plant had a different employer every week? Would anybody notice that?
The plain truth is that we like to comfort ourselves with the fantasy that we have memories and that they all make sense. What we fail to include is the fact that everything we remember is a mere fragment of the whole, and that usually we select the bit that gives us most pleasure. So, we memorize the odd joke - maybe we can even quote a few lines from the odd Monty Python limn - but we can't remember how numerous lumberjacks there were. Maybe it's because it doesn't seem essential at the time, so doesn't get included in the mingle. But then it would be like those old wedding photos we sometimes get out and ponder over. Always there's a question, like, 'Who is that lad, third on the left, next to Auntie Margaret?' We can't remember his name, or whether he's even a respective. There's a gap in our memories, but, in mandate to maintain our sense of value and no to go totally mad, we simply luster over that morsel and pretend it isn't there. After all, it's only a elaborate, right?
One of the most glaring instances of this selective memory is to do with music. Many pop pundits derive infinite happiness from granting folk to wax lyrical
