Sometimes your spelling just works wonders, Sootyj.
Tell me, how did this production come about?
I think I have humerous Dyslexia.
Bumped into a guy on a comedy course, who introduced me to a comedy group in Exeter.
The rest was history.
Didja like the fim?
Got fed up with sound quality and turned it off. Sorry.
Ooh ouch, I thought it was quite clear.
The sound was pretty ropey. Not easy to get right though and people tend to skimp on it.
I found the sketches overlong and a bit thin on the ground gag-wise. I certainly didn't see the need to do it twice. With some judicious editing you could probably cut the footage down to a decent 3 min sketch though. You'd compromise the faux-documentary nature of it but it would be richer humour wise. A professional arsehole is a funny enough idea.
The sound was not a problem for me and the faux documentary style worked very well, nice performances too. The premise was good, but possibly you could have done a little better with some of the gags.
Did you just follow David Chapman around?
I've only watched the first one. I found the first minute funny, but after that it seemed to be thin on any real humour.
The 'arseholes' dialogue seemed to be unclear after the 1st minute, but the 'interviewers' was clear.
Alas I feel the second one is funnier.
So very sorry, just didn't find either funny, all seemed very obvious.
Very long and drawn out, a struggle to watch.
Sorry again, just my thoughts.

The original script for the first part.
After reading the first bit of the script the problem for ME is the actor.
When reading I could visualise a younger man, who isn't a down and out but more respectable looking in the way he dresses n' such likes... his only problem is, he's an arsehole!
What I saw on the filmed versions was someone who actually looked an arsehole and was indeed an arsehole... dunno, look around, you can see them in normal every day life! So seemed obvious anyway!!
Quite I did it at a script reading, where he was played as a nasal whiny geek.
It brought the house down.
That maybe the answer then!
