Andrew Newman interview

Interview with Objective Productions chief.

When TalkbackThames trying to tell outgoing C4 comedy head Andrew Newman something in its pilot PhoneShop? "Throughout the show, they take the piss out of a 'new man', saying 'new man, you're a hopeless fool,'" Newman observed at the Comedy Showcase season launch - his swansong before joining Objective next month. "I suspect that's a glimpse of my future life. Months ago, you'd have all tried to be nice to me; now I can't affod to alienate anyone in this room."

The script editor of Peep Show, Iain Morris, was intrigued to receive a letter informing him that a television crew was filming in his street this week. Especially when it turned out to be the team behind... Peep Show. Pondering why his area was chosen, Morris - who also happens to be the co-creator of The Inbetweeners - told commissioner Andrew Newman: "I think it's the crack dealer/gang special."
