# Eh, long story short, I spent a couple of weeks last year being filmed by a fly-on-the-wall documentary crew for a show on Sky1 called 'Showbiz'
It was about people struggling to break into TV, music, film etc. We went out of our way to accommodate them, did loads of staged stuff, auditioned people they suggested etc.

Then some bright spark at Sky decided to rebrand the show 'Louis Spence's Showbiz' and suddenly the tale of two earnest guys from the Midlands working hard to make a low-budget zombie film wasn't screamingly camp enough to make the cut and all the footage ended up on the cutting room floor.

# would you really have wanted to get your break from a Sky tv show called Showbiz?
that sounds like selling your soul and destroying your credibility before you've even begun.
Lucky break if you ask me.

# We're getting where we want to be anyway
but it was a bit gutting that after all the effort we went to, we received none of the publicity we were promised, which would have been really handy right about now

This time next year Rodders etc
