Tickle Talk Update
An essay on editing, with case studies. Possibly the last essay from the third greatest ever BB contestant, but easily the most interesting, and only coincidentally agreeing with my feelings on the matter. Many BB fans manage to hold strong, to the point of conspiracy theory, views on ‘biased editing’, but only by overlooking the logistics of the show – the tv crew don’t have very long to cobble together a lot of rather dull footage, and they can only do it a day at a time.
Like a good scientist Tickle even sums up his conclusions with bullet points. Bless. I love his amateur “i’ve done a bit of telly” schtick. And I’m not being sarcastic.
