The Undersecretary from the Department of Health decides to make a data extraction from every doctor's surgery in the country - with hilarious results!
The latest in a series of puppet-animation videos about the adventures and misadventures of an ordinary (but somewhat hirsute) doctor working in the NHS.

That is utterly mental. Great skills on the modification to fruit. There is something innately funny with dolls that have beards and sideburns. Good work. Very original as well. I know it's more about surreal characters but I still would have liked a few more jokes in there.

Sorry not to reply earlier; I only just saw this. Thanks for the response! I looked at your Lucy Manic blog and had a chuckle. I like the idea of rabid cross-stitching.

You have a unique talent - I think the whole dolls thing is inspired (I've seen a lot of your other stuff).
IF ONLY you could team up with someone with a huge pair of scissors!
This eight minutes plus piece needs to be cut down to two minutes MAX.
I genuinely think if you partnered with a script editor or fellow writer - brave enough to challenge you - you could get these things off the ground.
So, genius or flawed genius - you decide!
Which I'm sure you will - as you're obviously a very single-minded individual..
Good luck with it.

I'll certainly settle for "flawed genius" as an alternative to "talentless git", which is what I was making do with before.
Believe it or not, I know what you mean about the length of the pieces - not that I think they'd be funnier if they were shorter, but the things that work best on YouTube are short-form, 3 or 4 minutes at the most. People tend to lose patience with anything longer. Having said that, I doubt if I'll be changing my style. I like stories and characters, and I need to do the stuff that feels right for me. I'm a stubborn bastard, I'm afraid.
But I do appreciate your comments and your good wishes.
