Hi,
I'm not a writer but I have a pitch for an improv/satire show. Where would I go to make a pitch to a production team? I mean, essentially it's summed up as The Daily Show UK (but weekly).
You know the Daily Show with John Stewart? Well, why haven't we got a UK edition/spin-off? We have Fox media taking over the country - think about how David Cameron just repeated jobs tax jobs tax every time he got on TV. That was a line from The Sun newspaper. He's Eton and Oxbridge educated and all he does is parrot out tabloid editorial sound-bites.
There's the whole newspaper agenda. They all buy into the bullshit narratives spun by the Telegraph, The Mail, The Sun. Then there's Sky News, which is Fox propaganda UK. BBC News are ripe for a kicking, their supine little asses are getting RIPPED by Murdoch's throbbing, red-helmeted ... agenda.
It needs one half-decent anchor (for my money Rory Bremner AS HIMSELF - because he's looking for ways to escape the impersonation straight-jacket and he knows his shit) and a couple of co-presenters/sketch actors, a bit more comedic than Bird and Fortune (bless em but we've moved on).
So who would I ask? All I'm looking for personally would be a small cash thank you (hahaha) and some low-pressure experience in production. My professional skills don't amount to much more than making tea and coffee (damn GOOD tea and coffee mind).
Anyone? Help?
Ta...
