Meet the Writers: Joel Soetendorp Page 3

Mine is a spoon.

Blunt knives are very useful for spreading a small amount of stuff thinly.

But not for writing metaphors.

Mine is more of a meat tenderiser, one of those big mallet with spikes ones.

Take that irony, kersplatt!

I'm just waiting for Joel to become famous so that other NR and Treason writers can pun his name to Kingdom Come.

:)

This was one of the interviews I was hoping would happen. Yippee. Can't get enough of Joel. And he's more prodigious than Warren Beatty and Jimi Hendrix on viagra.

10/10 both.

Yes zooo, I've heard you're often to be found spooning.

Joel (sootyj), I think you know I question the validity (in comedic terms) of some of your 'skits' however I thoroughly enjoyed this.
You're a goodun.

Nice one, David.

Mine's a Brevil Sandwich Toaster.

I did a gig in Worthing that started late thanks to the football. The yuppie audience ignored me completely and I got paid a tenner (second paid gig ever).

I live in Worthing. I'm not a yuppie. :P
Where did you do the gig?

There was girl called Elisabeth I was rather fond of in my youth who lived in Worthing.

Marc, since your online and know a lot about the inner workings of telly, do you know why there was no second series of State of Play? I always thought there was going to be one but none materialised.

I don't know Chip. State of Play was great, I think the Americans are doing a version, maybe it had something to do with that?

THis from wikipedia: The success of the production led to Abbott being commissioned to write a sequel, which as of January 2006 is partly written– it was commissioned before the first had even been transmitted, so impressed were BBC executives with the original.[1] However, by 2006 the second series appeared to have officially been abandoned. Abbott, talking to Mark Lawson on BBC Radio 4's Front Row in November 2006, said that he couldn't find a way to make the story work. However, on April 25, 2007, Abbott was quoted in the Sun newspaper as saying that he was currently writing scripts for a second, six-episode series of State of Play, with John Simm and Bill Nighy reprising their roles.

Much obliged, squire.

America are doing a film version. How they're going to cram it all in, who knows?

Guys, you're killing me here! What are my readers going to think when they come here looing for hot Joel Soetendorp action and find a bunch of no-necks chatting about State of Play?

Sooty gets way too much exposure on this site as it is. :P

I guess chip has a chip on his shoulder hence the chippy attitude.

And it's sweet he's to shy to PM Mark.

And Elisabeth was a real beauty!
