UPDATE

Well hello!

So then, long time no blog, lazy.

Quick update called for then:

1) ‘MISSING SCENE’, the Kevin Eldon, Alice Lowe starring sketch show pilot is currently at the BBC, sitting with someone who could allow us to make more, with a big thumbs up from a couple of other influential BBC bods; so keeping our fingers crossed there. If it comes to nothing, then there’s other BBC people, other channels, and the Prod Company is looking Stateside to see what the opportunities could be for the show over there.

2)I have an agent now actively promoting my wares, at Independant Talent no less; and thanks to him, I have landed number 3-

3)I’m currently helping a genuine British comedy writing legend develop his new series, which will broadcast next year. Whether any of my work ends up making it to screen is another matter, I may very well end up making no impact at all; but it is a real thrill to be working with one of my absolute comedy heroes; seriously, this guy has been responsible for some of my favourite shows ever and has been a big influence on me.

4)Developing a new sitcom of my own with a production company, early days on that, we only have the first ten pages of a first draft, but I think it could be a goodie.

5)Just about finished another sitcom pilot script, and I’m very happy with it. It’s a modern, fast, confident, primary coloured show; soon I’ll see if anyone else agrees with me!

6)About to start work on a twelve part web series. We have the concept, the characters, the world, and a specially written teaser ready to shoot. It’s going to consist of short, sub-ten minute episodes. I’m really excited about it, it’s definitely happening, and will be a proper narrative comedy. No pitching, no hoping someone likes a pilot script, it’s happening and a full series will be out there for people to watch. Or to completely ignore.

7) Aside from all THAT, I have a bit of a different project I’m slowly thinking about. It’s going to be hour long episodes; serious, funny, musical, scary, nostalgic, and, for me, pretty new territory. Gotta stay fresh!

8)And some other bits and bobs besides. Including a couple of audio pilots I should be getting around to recording, then shooting around the different radio producing Prod Companies.

Okay then, blimey, that sounds like rather a lot, doesn’t it! And I haven’t even mentioned everything!

I’d better get on with it.

EDIT:

Oops! I somehow managed to forget two other sitcom projects! One, written with David ‘The Bussell’ Bussell, has just been submitted to Channel 4 by the prod company behind ‘Missing Scene’, and the second, written with televisions own Ben Green, has just been shown interest by a different prod company. We’ve only actually knocked up the first ten pages of that one, but they seem to have liked what they’ve seen.

Okay, enough!
