Older Billy on Saturday ( and on several days last week) was Lee Hoy, not James Butcher.

Not that I can recall when I was present. There was a previous abandonment of the show some years ago due to one part of the set (Toilet, from memory) refusing to return to base.jmh2014 wrote: has there ever been a show before where all the mechanical sets have failed?
Such moments are always fun for the fans and this was made to look even funnier when Brodie, from the back of the stage, turned his face to the audience with a bemused expression that said "What the heck is going here?".It would be B2B and the outstanding Ruthie Henshall that would give us a another special moment.......Needless to say many of the regulars dissolved into fits of hysterics.
I think this was May last year.patc wrote:
There have been at least a couple of previous occasions when the Stairs set malfunctioned and they proceeded without it. I'm sure I did a review of one of them but can't find it. The subsequent improvisations this time were more or less the same as before and also prompted the question again - who needs the stairs anyway?
