This past week, at Duck TV’s kickoff for the second round of creative shows, Special Delivery swept the Force Award for week five. Gibson Toombs, who is the director of Special Delivery, spilled some behind the scene details on the success of the show so far.

While Special Delivery aired for the first time last Wednesday, Allen 221 echoed with laughter at the silly plot and nutty humor. With nervous emotions brewing, Toombs expressed that, going into the first episode, he was nervous that perhaps the bizarre humor of the show wouldn’t be understood. After the episode aired, Toombs was more than thrilled. “When I described to the crew the synopsis of the episode, none of them laughed.” After seeing the final product, however, everyone on the crew of Special Delivery was happy with the way it turned out.

In the first episode of Special Delivery, Toombs sent a curve ball to the viewers by having three of the characters dressed as rats, complete with ears, whiskers, and a tail. “The costumes were really cheap, which is the way I wanted them.” Toombs said, and described that by no means were the costumes for the rats supposed to look well-done. Rolling into week 6, Toombs says he is psyched for the rest of the term. “We started off with a bang. The goal is to make each episode wackier and crazier than the last.”

Join Duck TV on Wednesday, February 19th, to watch episode two of Special Delivery. An audience member can anticipate with excitement, more success and positive outcomes from Duck TV as winter term continues.
