Thanks for all the lovely comments BCGers. My favourite bit is when Bussell freeze frames at the end of the toilets bit. Partly because I stared at that image of too long and my eyes developed image burn and I see Bussell all the time now.

Haha, yeah that came across awfully, meant in the sense of awkward acting being good! My mother only lets me on the computer internets every Wednesdays for 2 hours.

I thought the Website bits were funny.
Motivational posters did make me laugh out Lordily

Bussell not sure if you're up for suggestions, but have you seen the Prometheus viral

just thinking you could have fun acting along to the voice over?

Yeah, I pretty much wrote all of those. Hear that, co-writers? Not just an extremely pretty face.

Thanks, soots. I thought about that myself but I reckon it might come out a touch solipsistic. Better some wag make a version of it intercutting with David Cameron going about his business. Oh, the peals of laughter!

Think of me as the little bird that rides around on a crocodile but I can't hear that an speak without seeing this fellow in my minds eye now!

Nice, but I think it would work better with a split screen so you could see Cameron talking. Or better yet, put Mr Jazz Hands in one of those oval mattes in the bottom right corner.

You are absolute right David I wanted to do him as the signing man from bbc news for the deaf, who got fired - with cameron on screen and him in the bottom corner but I don't know how to?? Can I leave that to you and we will go halves on the pint??

I'm afraid that goes beyond my extremely limited talents as an editor. I'm sure you can find someone with the know-how to help you out though. Perhaps even someone on this forum?

I have Final Cut Pro, might Google, but back on topic - anybody biting at the pilot -have you shown people as yet - are you seeing this as an online - semi interactive project - or Televison-inisationing it?

I'm sure you can find a YouTube tutorial for FCP.

Planning to put OS in front of some commissioners and see if anyone's interested in making more. Would like to get it on the telly.
