When Games Attack - Stage

Stage

When Games Attack was not based in a studio, instead, it was filmed in a different location for each episode with the locations usually dictating the sort of humour and jokes Diamond used in each 30 second link between segments.

Examples of locations:

  • A Fruit & Veg stall (Dominik ends the episode claiming he will go home with "A banana for the wife")
  • Outside Celtic Football Club's stadium.
  • Dominiks fishing trip (again, he makes a sexual innuendo saying something similar to "The times when you sit alone with a rod in your hand are the best moments of your life")
  • A bus stop (In this episode, Dominik claims he laughs at tourists trying to figure out UK bus timetables, saying we all know they are as accurate as your average weapons dossier. This was during the claims about Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq.)
  • Las Vegas (Dominik gets "arrested" for speeding but warns the officer he "Knows Richard and Judy", minor British celebrities.)
  • Council estate. (Dominik ends the episode telling the viewers he is going to hang around street corners looking "hard" until his mother calls him in for tea. This is poking fun at Neds as they tend to come from council estates and do just as Dominik claimed he was about to do.)
  • Dominiks house as he baby-sits his young children.
  • An empty Hallway. (Because he has been "A bad boy" and has to think about what he did, as if he were a misbehaving child.)

Famous quotes containing the word stage:

    The slightest living thing answers a deeper need than all the works of man because it is transitory. It has an evanescence of life, or growth, or change: it passes, as we do, from one stage to the another, from darkness to darkness, into a distance where we, too, vanish out of sight. A work of art is static; and its value and its weakness lie in being so: but the tuft of grass and the clouds above it belong to our own travelling brotherhood.
    Freya Stark (b. 1893–1993)

    The Stage but echoes back the publick Voice.
    The Drama’s Laws the Drama’s Patrons give,
    For we that live to please, must please to live.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    I must ... warn my readers that my attacks are directed against themselves, not against my stage figures.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
