Forward Slash back to front

Options
Is it me or does the forward slash hand action come across on screen as a back slash?

Otherwise its a nice touch

    You are absolutely right, it was actually mentioned by someone in the audience during a break (the wedding ring clubcard deal woman), and hopefully they will do it the right way round next week, LOL.

  • I think Martin forgot that doing the gesture so it looks right from his angle is wrong for the camera - easy to do when under studio lights.

    It's like a mirror, isn't it? You think you've got it right, and then forget about the reflection... :D

    Cheaper weddings, huh? I remember Mrs Mothballs and I getting married, that wasn't an expensive affair (all her idea, I can assure you) :cool:.

    I only saw the web address once during the programme and the "forward slash" was the right way round.
  • Mike, Martin did a "forward slash" gesture with his hand as he or Ruth read out the address out, and that's what we're referring to.
