The Goes Wrong Show Statistics
As mentioned in my previous blog, Mischief Theatre released a TV show earlier this year, The Goes Wrong Show (TGWS).
Some of you (one of you; I know how many people read this blog) may have noticed that I make it my business to blog about Mischief projects as I see them (for more information see below)
Anyway! Shameless self-promotion aside, this blog is supposed to be about TGWS, which I haven't reviewed properly. I saw a tweet (You will never know how much research I did to find this) recently asking who received the most bumps, to which the official Mischief account replied that it was probably Vanessa.
This intrigued me, and so I set about painstakingly counting every single time she got hit by a prop/setpiece/fellow actor. While I was doing that, I thought I'd check out some other things as well:

This intrigued me, and so I set about painstakingly counting every single time she got hit by a prop/setpiece/fellow actor. While I was doing that, I thought I'd check out some other things as well:
Dennis forgets his line 40 Sandra gives the camera a 'Hollywood Look' 15 Max plays to the camera/audience 29 Chris gets mad at Dennis 29 Robert breaks the fourth wall 36 Jonathan can't get in/out 13 Trevor is seen 24 Set malfunctions 15 The set falls apart ? Someone has the wrong prop 28 A prop breaks/malfunctions 34 There is a stunt which is genuinely dangerous 13 Non-family-friendly jokes 4 Costume Problems 26 References to Robert's book Anything You Can Act, I Can Act Louder 5To clarify:
- Jonathan not being able to take his prosthetic off in The Pilot (Not The Pilot) was counted, as was him being trapped in the chimney in Spirit of Christmas
- Dennis' uncensored swearing in 90 Degrees was not counted as him forgetting his lines
- In the scene in A Trial to Watch where Dennis, Robert and Vanessa were saying each other's lines, each of Dennis' lines was counted separately
- Each 'half-and-half' set in A Trial to Watch was only counted as one malfunction. The same applies to each of the sets in 90 Degrees
Robert 21 Chris 18 Vanessa 17 Dennis 15 Jonathan 10 Max 8 Annie 8 Sandra 5 Trevor 4Note:
- When Robert hits the banisters in The Lodge, this was only counted as one hit
- Vanessa's count includes the times she had water thrown at her in The Lodge
- Trevor's 'exposure' in Harper's Locket was counted twice (when he fell and when the hook dropped him)
- Robert tripping in The Spirit of Christmas was not counted because he didn't actually hit anything
UPDATE: Actually answered the original question and added Set Malfunctions to the list of statistics
