Hello and welcome to the newly
redecorated living room of "We're Very
Sorry About This..." -
that somewhat bizarre
glimpse into a Britain that no longer exists, except in
our minds - So if you'd like to take off your jam
spattered wellington slippers and slip out of something
more comfortable, then you may continue to read down this
page. If you don't slip out, well, read on anyway,
because we're nice.
the cast of VSAT
Right this bit of the site wll explain to
you the weird and twisted people behind VSAT, as well as
going onto discuss the characters that they play later
on. If that's the bit you're after, then skip this bit of
nonsense by clicking here. If however,
you're silly enough to want to read about us three, then
read on MacDuff, to horribly and brutally crucify that
famous quote of Shakespeare...
As this image
shows, if Maitiu were God, the world would be a
big sombrero...

Christopher
Allan
Born in 1988 in the
Scottish capital, Edinburgh, Chris soon found
that being funny and comedic allowed him to keep
his lunch money at school. After showing no
particular academic talent he decided to devote
his life to making other people laugh - with him,
not at him. He is yet to succeed.
VSAT is, perhaps, the culmination of
this desire. As one of the original creators of
the show, he maintains a highe degree of
ownership and influence in the making and shaping
of a show. He voices Kit Balloon,the
Announcer, and Rice
Pudding among other smaller more
random roles, but his main part within the VSAT
team is to come up with a script each time they
need one. As principal writer on the squad, this
usually means sitting in a room trying to think
of a random title, (see "The
Great Toothsack of 1899" for
evidence of how weird his mind can be) and then
shape some lines around a so-called
"plot". He also is the principal editor
of the show as well as webmaster of the VSAT
site.
Current ambitions include going to
Cambridge University, becoming Prime Minister,
and of course, inevitably, continuing to make
people laugh and have a good time.

Neil Carmichael
Neil Carmichael is the latest addition to the
VSAT team. Born in 1987 and found to be another
one of life's humorous characters he was a
natural person to whom we could extend the
franchise of VSAT. Neil's voices help to bring to
life many of the show's more random characters, (Professor
Norris "Insert something here" Millar and
Pedro for example) and
it is regrettable that he only features in the
3rd volume, for both Chris and Maitiu feel he
could add much to the earlier shows. Neil's
roles, whilst mainly involving voice-acting are
not limited to that field. He comes up with many
more of the random lines in the show as well as
thinking up weird and bizarre images for the
website (see the above sombrero image if you want
to know how weird and bizzare). His ambitions in
life include becoming a reputable photographer,
though if he worked in the press the paper
doesn't have to reputable - if you catch my
drift. |

Maitiu Corbett
Last due to the quirks of
the alphabet but in no means least here is the
other original member of the VSAT squad. Matiu
(pronounced like you're sneezing) is perhaps the
most outlandish of this outlandish team.
Providing voices as varied as Nicholas
Mort,Funjabba
and the Government Contact
Maitiu is the the main voice actor in this VSAT
team. The others quite happily call Mat the
driving force behind the show, as it is he who
shouts at Chris for not bothering to do anything
or berates Neil for being a bit too, ahem,
"creative" in his plot ideas.Still, Mat
intends to never do a "proper" job in
his life. He either wants to be a musician or
some other kind of performer (maybe do VSAT on a
professional basis) rather then sit behind a desk
refusing loans to some poor chap.

Equally
worth a mention in any section about Maitiu Corbett is
his hair, which changes every day. We think it's alive,
breeding and planning to kill us all. Or it's Neil's
over-active imagination, but to be honest, I'm not
entirely sure which...
