In other news I am in talks over the last sitcom written and am working on a feature screenplay.

Haha! I think I could do it.

It's abot a grumpy doctor who kills dogs with his car just to advance the plot.
Quote: Tim Walker @ March 19 2010, 9:39 AM GMTMy first TV production credit is due on screen soon. Though as it will be on BBC Three I don't know if that is a cause for celebration.
Ooh, 'Citing! Every time I talk to a producer, the words 'this would be perfect for BBC3!' come out too.

Well, I like to call it an "anti-rom-com" (because I'm a pompous c**t). A dark comedy-drama called 'To Love Somebody' - some sort of cross between Todd Solondz, Jim Jarmusch and Mike Leigh in 'Naked'/'High Hopes' form. Something like that anyway. I really don't know what I'm talking about. Very different challenge though, compared with writing a 30 - 50 minute script. We'll see...
Hope everyone's been well around here. I hope to be back more often now.

That makes us sound at least a touch camper than we actually are, and we are very camp.

As it's not too much of a secret, I was drafted in to do some (fairly last minute) writing for that new Simon Bird panel show starting soon.

We have matching baby blue satin jackets with are names on the back in sequins.

I can visualise you all going to the shop to buy them - rather like that scene in 'Boogie Nights'...

The pilot I was sent showed quite a bit of promise, so we'll see.

I'd watch that.

I envision it as the sort of film you would take your boyfriend/girlfriend/partner/spouse to - that is if you didn't really like them and were thinking of ending the relationship.
I am sort of working to a deadline on this one, so it will indeed get finished.
