The edge of melodrama

I forgot about the music that Mole plays before he leaves the space. Tim talks over the Dr Zhivago soundtrack. There's an H in it. The music adds so much to the scene and Tim plays it on the edge of melodrama. Letting the audience make it funny. He walks to the window and on cue Mole appears on the hill beind the studio walking into the wind and imaginary blizzard. The audience laugh. Watching it now Mole says 'This is a really important moment in the show. There's so much happening in this moment. Timing.' When Mole comes back. Catching his breath. Saying hello to the audience like a breathless lover. He loses his place in the script and after three months what felt like a moment feels like a minute. 'We need something there,' says Mole. Tim nods.
