As the drumkit slid towards the front of the stage on its platform it caught Brian who fell into Roger's kit knocking over a cymbal, a mic and dislodging a couple of drums. Both Brian and Roger recovered quickly (with the help of a couple of cast members) to complete the song to great cheers and applauses. Once Bo Rhap was complete Brian told the enthusiastic audience: "It took us ages to rehearse that fall. I'm not sure if Roger's kit will ever be the same again." He then introduced Ben Elton who joked that Taylor was to blame: "That's what comes of wearing your sunglasses indoors." Ben also thanked the cast, band, crew and audience.
