Vivian Stanshall: English As Tuppence

The legendary Neil Innes is joined by special guests including Ade Edmondson and Rick Wakeman to look at the work of his friend, collaborator and fellow Bonzo and the collision of art, humour, music and language that permeated Vivian's career.

Shame: My Brother Makes The Noises For The Talkies

'Last summer, I was invited to do ADR for Shame. At the time, we knew nothing about the film. My agent said: "It involves sexual sounds. Do you mind?" I said: "No, it's just a job. It's fine."

'The sound engineer kept the sexual stuff till the end. There's a scene where Michael Fassbender's character goes to a gay club. At the back of some shots, couples were at it. So I stood at the microphone with another guy and we improvised. For example: "Yeah. YEAH. Go deeper, GO DEEPER." The sound engineer would say: "OK, a bit more intense, please." You came up with anything you could think of. "Who's your daddy?" Stuff like that.'

Which - oddly - didn't catch on. 

There is no such thing as "sex addiction" by the way, it's a wholly nebulous concept. 

Doing something many times because you enjoy doing it is not an "addiction".
