Props & Set Pieces

FAH moved to their new office in 2018. They hinted at it (possibly at the time of signing for it) in April 2017:



They posted the (actual) interiour pics on their Instagram page only about a year later:



The extra space both for sets and storage, boosted undoubtedly by more experience and ambition in shooting sketches on a professional level, prompted them to start putting some serious thought in set building. Fake walls covered in various wallpaper patterns and decorated with picture frames appeared in the background. Pointing a camera at just any odd corner of the office, with their show posters, filming gear and general office mess in plain sight, was a thing of the past.

Let's take a look!

The FAH Office Sets
Reusing sets is just common sense! Look carefully before adding a sketch to the list: these all have to be filmed at their office! FAH moved offices once, so there's an old office and a new office.

If you clearly see a real living room or kitchen, if the sketch is filmed outside or in a real pub, and so on, then the sketch should be discussed on the Location Scouting page!

Before we start, here's an interesting 'before & after' of how a set is built at their office. FAH posted this on their Instagram stories on 16 Nov 2020, so at the time of writing we're still guessing what this sketch might be about... might it be airport related? All the signs are there!

The FAH Prop Department
A prop is different from a set piece: props are used by characters in the scene and serve some sort of purpose in the story being told. If a character is drinking out of a mug, it's a prop. Empty cans on a table in the background are set pieces.

Also, a character might be holding his glasses in his hand, but they would still be part of the actor's wardrobe (see the FAHshion Corner).
