WaaarmWow, today is actually warm enough for me to have had the window open for the last hour. I know what you thinking "why do I care about your house's micro climate", "I can see the weather for myself" & "It isn't that warm, are you a crazy person?".
I'm A Liar RadioWell slightly yes, after an extensive search of, I think, EVERY production company in these United Kingdom's (well Wales is a principality, "Yay we're special!") that has produced comedy, and noticing that a few are wanting radio scripts I've started adapting I'm a Liar for radio. I'd already thought, if it didn't get made for TV, a radio version would be the cheapest way for us to make I'm a Liar, so that's another reason too. This process is crazy-making. I've read this script a hundred times, so I've kinda forgotten which bits are funny. And then I get rid of those bits and they become brilliant. So annoying, not like my countries been ran for forty years by a tyrant who wears "shades" annoying, but pretty annoying. I'm also teaching myself the format which is like learning to write with your left hand if you're used to TV. Anyway you don't care about that really.
The future is scary as s*it"Augmented reality will be the new reality".By the looks of this advert the future is full of people saying things they couldn't possibly understand, with complete conviction (nothing changes). Pity by 2021 University will cost M$1,000,000 (M$ = Mars Dollars), they'll be no public services so their babies will be born in skips and virtual reality will leave them bloated, impatient, monsters.
Scott Pilgrim-a-likeI've just realised the Scott Pilgrim character I look like is
Comeau. I'm not like him though, I know no one, not even you.
Comeau, look glasses and floppy fringe like me.

I'm A Liar
Today I'll get to hold the final copy of I'm a Liar, the sitcom pilot me and Alan have been working on since November. It is something we are both proud of, and I'm really happy how it's turned out. We're entering it into Laughing Stock 2011 from the BBC's Writersroom, and I think at least, if we don't get into the top 25, the people who get to go on the Masterclass, the other sitcoms must be amazing. INT. - LIVING ROOM PARTY - NIGHT
KEVIN BAXTER is sat on a couch in a suit and a bowler hat looking miserable. He is surrounded by balloons, party streamers and extremely happy looking people. He looks at his drink and takes a sip. He is just about to stand up when GREGG sits down. He is dressed as Thor. Kevin is dressed as Mr. Benn.
That's the very beginning of the very first page of the script. Aren't you excited? Probably not, but I am! Yay! If it doesn't get anywhere, competition wise, I'm looking to adapt it into a radio play so it might come to your ears sometime soon, with Alan as our main man Kevin.
Bad Feeling
Next is Bad Feeling! Me and Alan will be writing/starting pre-production on the adaptation of Alan's Short Film of the same name. It's an homage STARWARS and I've already started my huge mound of 'research' that I like to do. Starting with the amazing Star Wars Begins, Building Empire & Returning to Jedi. Which I highly recommend you all see. It's essentially a book about how they made the original trilogy, without the inky fingers or paper cuts. And you get to see the films, kinda, for free. So you actually see what's being referenced, rather than half-remembering them. But I suppose if you don't like Star Wars, it's pretty wank... Going to start a look for some music by local (Merseyside) bands we might like to use for the film, so if there's any suggestions, feel free to suggest those suggestions.
Escape From The Studio Award SuccessWell done to Jim, Anna & Dan who won a Royal Television Awards North West Award for Escape from The Studio. It was a very fun, long, wet day that made that show.
