Saturday Live at 5:05
Broadcasts
Here is a patchwork of highlights from the original 2020 11 week run
Saturday Live at 5:05 is a live streamed TV style show, which has been described as 'Playschool for adults' (although kids like it too!). It features music with the bicycle piano & double bassicle, Wind Ups of all sorts- including gramophone records- and other funny features & antics from Rimski & Handkerchief ....
Season one was a direct response to 'working from home' during lockdown, broadcasting live from Rimski's Yard HQ every Saturday at 5:05pm. It ran for 11 consecutive weeks during May- July 2020, with people tuning in from all over the globe via "Rimski & Handkerchief" FB page...
And with creative assistance/expert camera work from friend/storyteller/theatre maker,
DR. J Blake AKA Josie Jo!
The show has been heralded as 'a much needed tonic in these uncertain times'....
​
The experimental Season 2 took place in August, during a brief chapter of appearances out in the big wide world, and had just three episodes. It explored having both live and online live audiences simultaneously- which was tricky! The first episode took place amidst
The Bullzini Family Circus extravaganza in Evercreech, Somerset.
​
An Autumn Special (featuring Blue Moon) then took place on Saturday 31st October
​
And a two part Christmas show- featuring Rimski & Handkerchief's Christmas Lucky Dip, took place on Saturday 12th & 19th December 2020
​
Two further shows took place in Spring 2021, but since then, real life touring has taken priority...
