Thanks chaps.

I liked the music.

Brilliant.

Fantastic, I liked that a lot

Thanks Carlos. We have a load of new stuff coming out at the end of August.

All news on our FB page. If anyone fancies a follow.

I've watched a few of them. You've got something.

Am intrigued to know how far down the road a technically sound production of this kind is already being supported by the mainstream industry.

I was going to ask this question re the Christian Clean Sex Hotline. It's also pretty good if a bit stretched out and Gervaisian. In yours there is a nod to Little Britain but I think you are a few steps ahead of CCSH.

No agenda really. I just think that comment can only be fair having some sense of the resources.

Sure.

We all act for a living. Myself and my writing partner Alex Finch were approached by a commercials director to write a few sketches.

He wanted to move more into television. We had had a few ideas, a sitcom that had jumped a few hurdles at the bbc and I had starred in a show for the BBC called Big Babies.

The other sketches (Clown, Cult etc) you see were our first venture (Bar the sitcom, which didn't get picked up in the end) into comedy writing.

We wrote about 12 sketches and those were the ones we liked the most could nab a location for or were hopefully the funniest.

We filmed them off our own back. A tiny budget and some cracking people offering us favours because they enjoyed the scripts too.

We then uploaded them to Facebook and our YouTube page. Sites like Comedy.co.uk liked, enjoyed and supported them. (Massive thanks)

They eventually got into a couple of production companies. Hatrick being one of the who gave us 1k to shoot some stuff for there site.

So yes we have been fortnate with the response we have had. But the hard work and determination far out weighs 1K.

Also

Glad you enjoyed. We are still finding our way but believe the newest stuff is more concise and in the right tone. Editing is an on going lesson. But not a bad start.

P.s. don't really see the Gervais thing.

Pps thanks for having a watch. Pirate

Thanks for the full reply which I appreciate. I always think that kind of effort adds some points or it should do. Someone recently on the forum was heavily, though not universally, criticised. The way he responded showed he did have the gift of audience awareness. I've been unusually poker faced in my comments on yours. It is because it is obvious you've cleared several hurdles. What you describe might well be helpful to starters and I hope so. I'm on here simply as a hobby and at times to provide a little extra colour and light.

Apart from the main link on this thread, I looked at Burglar and also the one with the police officers. All of the three worked pretty well for me. I think your focus on editing has largely been a success. There are one or two areas where a killer line along the way would give it added punch. In terms of a programme, I should think that you would need a unique presentational style to sharpen your identity. It would, I feel, be there principally in the linking up of the individual sketches. That's one person's opinion. Nothing more and nothing less. I do wish you good luck with it. Finally, just to clarify, the Gervaisian reference was not to your work.

Thank you very much sir.

We do actually have a whole world that rotates around our sketches. We kinda see ourselves as a mainstream League Of gentlemen type thing.

Check out our sketch Coming out clown. That seemed to be the one that did best for us.

All the best with all of you ventures too!

Yes I will do - and I can see the League aspect too. Good luck - and keep it moving! :D

Terrific idea.Very well executed.

I concur with the others that this was a good idea and well acted. You edited it to just the right length too and the morse code ending was great!

Thank you chaps.

Well written, well acted and well produced set of sketches that I had not seen before.

So that's a "well, well, well I never" from me!
