    It's absolutely incredible how Tom can not only remember his 10 minute long script, but do it in a single take AND get to the plant the second his script tells him he should point at the plant. Incredible. He doesn't even lose focus once.

    • @trapical
      @trapical 4 роки тому +129

      Walking backwards can be easy, but only if the path is clear and predictable. I would have to assume there was a third person involved with this video. Tom Scott, his cameraman, and then a third person walking ahead of the cameraman and making sure the path is clear and there is no traffic, etc, on the roads they were crossing.

What you can do at home with a water purifier, they do sell to you in a bottle... France, like the UK, never had such a product, and like the UK, has many mineral water brands, exported all over the world (Evian, Vittel, Volvic, Perrier...). There is no way such a product would have worked once people would have known what it was in France, because they would have had the same reaction as me : "why the hell would I pay for that when tap water is so cheap?".

    Tom, you did not mention the number one issue with tap water: the last mile.
    The voyage water takes to your tap varies with the type and age of municipality's system. Older pipes contaminate the water with lead and other metals. Sometimes minor cracks will permit untreated ground water.
    Even if the water is uncompromised your building's local plumbing may be faulty.

      It wasn't over nothing. Adding a few minerals (which you could probably do at home) to regular ass (free where I live) tap water doesn't justify bottled water prices. Clearly people didn't think it was tap water. Yes it's all water, but that doesn't give the company the right to mis-sell it as something it's not.

They know how UK consumers take the words to mean, not because they're dense but because that's what it literallly always means in that market, and they use that to sell a cheaper to make product for the same price, or at least not adequately cheaper.

      Dasani's bottles are blue in the US because CocaCola is trying to get activate the subconscious connection between the color blue, cold temperatures, and bodies of clean water that reflect the blue sky. No other bottled water in the US does this to the extent CocaCola does, although almost all of them use blue or blue-on-white labels on clear bottles.
      Incidentally, the more fancy mineral waters and sparkling waters in the US often use green glass bottles.

      As an American, I don't understand the "spunk" reference, but I assume it must be sexual.

      I know that in many one-take videos like that, people tend to walk their way backwards while saying the script as a way to ensure they have things lined up, but it's usually with 2-3 minutes takes, not with 7-10 minutes.

    I'm only 25, but when Tom rips on Only Fools and Horses as outdated and harks back to a time when people "actually read paper newspapers" it makes me feel 50 years old.

      Yes but I didn't like the way Tom said it meaning that it wasn't very good TV. But it the greatest comedy of all time. And I'm 53.

      @@oddsandwindsocks5905 Exactly. I saw this video some time ago, and randomly remembered it just now, mostly feeling annoyed that he called Only Fools bad. So I came here a year later to disagree with him; I guess the thought of somebody calling one of my favourite shows bad just festered in my mind. I'm 37 btw.
