* ''[[Doctor Who]]'', "Silence in the Library" [[David Tennant]] was present for the filming of a scene involving The Girl and read in his lines.

** Averted in "Blink", where the actors actually played off a pre-recorded video clip.

* This was averted in Season 1 of ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'' when Sendhil Ramamurthy had to play Mohinder making many, ''many'' phone calls from his apartment, but the audience never hears the other side of the conversation. This happened so often that when Mohinder met with Nathan Petrelli in an episode, someone remarked on the commentary, "Hey! Sendhil's in a scene with another human being!"

* Done in ''UHF''. George (Weird Al Yankovic) leaves a hilariously pleading apology on his girlfriend's answering machine. This was accomplished by having Al stand just out of shot and yell his lines while the girl reacted.
