Doubt anyone will see this but what was his taping schedule like? I read that they had to do the Make Believe segments separately because the studio space couldn’t fit the house and the NoMB set. How did they typically shoot one episode? Were all the MB segments for the week taped at once?
I have often seen episodes that aired in the fall/winter but when they go on location, it’s clearly still spring/summer. The episode with Lady Elaine playing in the park looked like it was taped in early summer, even though the episode itself aired in late July. The one where Fred goes shopping aired in early 1984 but it looked like it was clearly September/October when he was outside the store.
Also, there’s the famous photo of him taking off his shoes wearing the red cardigan during a rehearsal, that was taken in late June 1989, a few weeks after I was born. Which episode was this?
