Meet the Writers: Ariane Sherine Page 2

It's a shame there can't be a sub-section for these. It'd be nice to have them all one place.

I'm sure Aaron can build a section for them.

Nice one.

Mark could...*cough* *cough*

Thanks for writing 'Fat', it's one of the very best episodes and is pretty much perfect from a script point of view.

You wrote that one?!
Hee. That episode was brilliant.

Also well done Ariane on Space Pirates - one of the best things on cbeebies!

I'm hoping this will happen when V2 of the site arrives. What say you, internet lords?

Drools spittle down chin whilst reaching for the pickled egg and sink plunger.

So it was you in the A&E that time! But you told me you were cleaning your bathroom naked eating a pickle and slipped when it happened.

Thanks a lot guys! David's an excellent interviewer, and it was a lot of fun. I shall keep filthily lurking on here in future.

Nice to see you break cover, Ariane. Very enjoyable interview.

Oooh we like filthy lurkers! Great interview by the way!

Be honest Ellie.

Do you prefer a Filthy Lurker or a Hulky Flirter?

That's such a tough question I think my blonde head might explode...

I've asked Aaron for a sub-section.

This following point is in no way meant to be offensive or disrespectful to Ariane, who is after all a professional, and gave her time and effort to us, in an enjoyable interview, btw.

It's a minor point as I've enjoyed the series but would prefer that meeting the writers meant meeting BSG writers that we know, rather than lurkers we don't. This is only a personal opinion but I'd want to know what makes Charly or Chappers tick rather than hear the successes of someone I don't know.

I suggest after the great Baumski (who is a superb choice), we ask the team behind the Newmans script (Jude / Charly / Gav / Chappers) to tell us how they manage writing co-operatively over the net. The process, the inspirations, who does what, their strategy for getting it produced, etc. There's a few other BSG contributors I'd want to know know more about too. I'd suggest Leevil but he'd wander off to play on the Wii halfway through his first sentence. :P

As I said, thanks to Ariane and mega-kudos to her.

It's called a "forum", not a "section"! Angry

Anyway. There won't be a sub-forum for Meet the Writers. Such specific forums don't 'work'. However, I am working on a few other things which might be able to superficially (rather than structurally) group the threads, as you are asking about.

And the rebuilt writers section on the main BCG site should handle it all and collect them together anyway, so don't worry!
