Well there a coke commercial of his where he is a game show host and at one point he says "Blinfold please!" and they just appear on his head. So it's probably something in his programming. Andyesimatotalnerdsowhatdontjudgeme
Actually, for a lot of live interviews, like this one, a delay device would be used to make the stutter. You'll notice there's no video stuttering (repetition), just the slight delay. So yes, this was live, although Frewer would have been in an offstage studio.
The exchange was live. Not that complicated, just a blue screen. The sound effects and stutters were added during the final editing of the complete Wogan show.
I love that high pitched laugh toward the end. I recently bought the Max Headroom series box set and I'm re-visiting Max after all these years. Matt Frewer is great.
@weba28 Well, there's maxheadroom for a start. Bunch of kick-ass shows on tv. Some of the best movies to date were released in the '80s, and then I have the 90s to look forward to. :)
@weba28 Like inventiveinsanity said, Max Headroom was a good reason to be a teen in the 80s as I was. There was a huge evolution in music starting in the late 70s with punk and its electronic antithesis New Wave (now know as New Romantic) music. A Flock of Seagulls and the Go-Gos made radio fun. Rick Astley was an unfortunate side-effect, tho, as was Ronald Reagan. The Day After movie scared the crap out of us. Commodore and Atari made being a geek fun.
does it really matter whether it was live or pre-recorded? however they did it, they made it seem totally spontaneous and authentic and its just a joy to suspend one's disbelief watching this. one of the funniest tv interviews ever, probably.
The Max Headroom clip is prefilmed though, because you can't do those weird voice distortions in real time. Still, they all went with it so well it almost seems like they found a way to do that somehow.
@Crabpeople1 - I'm not 100% sure that's the case though. I don't think there's any actual stuttering - which would have been difficult to do with 80s technology - just pitch bending and sampling. That would have been possible in real time in the 80s.
But now I watch it again, it does look like the Max side may have been pre-recorded, but the exchange around 5:24 when Terry laughs and Max says "We're having a nice time aren't we?" looks improvised to me.
@DoctorRad It's obviously live, because there's no visual effect loops like in the TV show. He's just in front of a green screen, and the camera's set to capture at 12 frames per second or so.
@DoctorRad I've just watched an interview with Matt Frewer which suggests the live-looking video was actually live. Given the standard of Max's material though, I'd expect it was scripted at least. And of course, actors and comedy acts have long been performing pre-canned material to look spontaneous.
@DoctorRad Re the stuttering: Matt Frewer (who plays Max), in an interview a couple of years ago, said that the stuttering was partly done by him, but augmented by what he called an artificial "stutter loop" - i.e. there WAS the technology in the 80s, surprising though that may seem. We weren't as backwards then as people think! They also used to either remove intermittent frames or repeat frames to get the "jerky" effect. Not very techy, but effective! :)
@DoctorRad All in all, I'd say the whole thing was staged, Tel's not his usual fluid self, and why bother flying in an actor & his make-up guy just to appear on a screen? Similarly, due to the style of Max, why bother with a live feed? And there was certainly no international delay. Basically a good vocoder could alter his speech real-time, you'd just need a tech to alter pitch etc, then you don't need the vid tech to replay a 'stutter', as was one of Max's trademarks.
@Crabpeople1 This was live. Today of course they could do all the effects live, but most of the effects seen here were easy to do live even back then. There's a Letterman interview which was also done live and used the stutter as well.
LOL... I love it. Max is taking the absolute piss out of Terry and does a great job of making Terry look awkward and unfunny. The Max character set the whole mood of the interview right from the very start by pretending to be asleep... and that's a pretty accurate reflection of the level of monotony and boredom Terry seemed to bring to his program.
I remember watching max headroom wen i was young in the 80s. Had no idea wot it was called, or that he introduced muzik vids. I always thought he was part of a comedians sketch. Iv tried 2 explain 2 m8s about it 2 find out wot it was. They prob thought i was mad but here it is! Bigtime thanx 4 uploading it!!
Amazing I've watched "Spitting image" for the last couple of years I had no idea the Robert Maxwell scetch on ep 1 of the third season was based on this Character:D
Yes, but the entire interview was scripted and Max's video was filmed and edited before the actual interview. All the interviewer had to do was read from a teleprompter.
Bring Back Max - far better than all these "talent" shows with (or without celebrities) that cost a fortune to vote on. This is one of my favourite bits of T.V. and should be broadcast at regularly on terrestrial TV.
wow, dr strange!! (quite a fitting name) showin ur uncultured self, he was givin a compliment, if u cared to listen!! nothin racist at all, just a slang term from another country!! have u ever left ur country to know!!
ninja1976420 Is a online child predator. Watch your kids around this guy. I had him arrested two months ago trying to get a 7 year old girl in my neighborhood in to a car.
I sort of knew it was an actor, but I didn't know how they achieved the look. When reporters were told by the producers he was just an actor, they wouldn't believe. It's so simple, it's just a mask and clever editing, nothing more. Quite amazing how naive people were back then. The irony is, today we can do a fully animated motion capture Max Headroom WAY more amazing than the real one was...
Thats true.We can do so much more with the technology available.But remember this was 1985.So that they acheived here with Max Headroom was pretty amazing then.
I miss this guy. The first time I saw him in the 1980's he terrified me. Then the more I saw him the more I really liked him, his wit and style. Thank you for posting this. After seeing this post it reminds me a lot of Jim Carry's personality.
he'd say(dont say the p word)well right now i am going to get me a pepsi.coke burns going down actually even though they both taste great,pepsi goes down easier more sugary
Thanks for posting this. I was laughing along with the audiance in the video. Thers nothing like a good 80's t.v clip. I never knew max headroom had a show.
@ JayChristie. No, from what I remember, it was live. Unlike the rest of his stuff which was cut and edited to give that 'buggy' look to it.
They ran MH through a gizmo to lower the frame-rate and messed with the audio on his voice live (echo and vocoder type of thing). If you watch his own stuff, it's a lot more 'jittery'.
Kewl interview. I just wish he does a come back. There's been talk of a movie and Matt Frewer & Amanda Pays did say there's a possibility, but still nothing definitive ... yet.
this is from 1986, they didn't have as advanced cg as we have today. He's wearing a plastic shiny suit and his hair is covered in a cap and he has plenty of makeup.
it was indeed a uk creation not american he started with a uk movie then the uk music/talk shows in 1985-86 on channel 4.he later went to america to do the coke ads late 1986 then later the max headroom series 1987-88 based on the original uk film with big changes in the pilot episode, matt frewer even mentions it him self in an interview on tech tv from years ago
Never as good without the band of audio & visual video editors etc...still bloody good try doing live editing...well you couldn't...still a vocoder and a blue screen and your anyones...

it was indeed a uk creation not american he started with a uk movie then the uk music/talk shows in 1985-86 on channel 4.he later went to america to do the coke ads late 1986 then later the max headroom series 1987-88 based on the original uk film with big changes in the pilot episode, matt frewer even mentions it him self in an interview on tech tv from years ago
