they've just made six part Lunch Monkeys for Beeb3 - formerly Admin - written by David Isaac and directed by Matt Lipsey. They always seem to land Comedy Lab commissions.
Matt really knows his onions and I can't speak highly enough of him.
Shows what I know. I was aware that it was related to Channel X, but not that it was so highly-operational.
'Lunch Monkeys'? Oh dear.

I look forward to seeing it, but his first film, Whitnail and I, was really his high point. Since then it's been middling.
Quote: Griff @ July 31 2009, 11:24 AM BSTWhat's he done since those two Richard E. Grant films?
Writing novels, children's books and short stories. He has written other film scripts, but they've been dropped, re-written, etc.
Oh, and drinking a lot of red wine.

In terms of writing and directing, Jennifer 8. A not bad but not great serial killer thing.
It's quite good actually, now I come to remember it.

As ever Andy Garcia was good in it, even if his acting does consist largely of staring.
He's great at not talking.
