Last week I posted the video pitch that I made for Lonely Planet Television that got me a TV series (and somehow made it into the b3ta newsletter), so I thought I better follow it up with the trailer for the show that I snapped off the telly here in Dubai today.
The first episode has already been broadcast in Asia and Australia - the best bit? The fact I've just been broadcast all over the middle east wearing my K**t & the Gang 'Watch Out For Men With Beards' T-shirt. Awesome!

that trailer just reminds me of 'reality bites'
i can imagine the program being good, but the trailer is MTV-grade shit
I sincerely hope they haven't fucked your idea and footage

I don't want to say anything that might get me thrown in jail (again), but let's put it this way... I filmed myself for a year, I gave them the footage, they did what they did - I had no say or control, and that extended to the oh-my-word-are-they-serious? title.
But when it is shown in the UK I am assured it will be called what it was always meant to be called, 'Lonely Planet's The Odyssey', which is great as I'm a guy (usually) on a ship trying to get back to my bird before some goofy nubjob gets to her first; not a white chap wandering around Africa declaring the place (and indeed the whole frickin' world) 'his'.
