A thought occurs from No3ls post
If you could take any TV show, and get anyone to write the scripts, who would you have?

I'd get Al to start writing the Neighbours scripts. Might actually make it interesting.

Having Philip K Dick or Kurt Vonnegut doing scripts for Dr Who would be cool.

Neil Gaiman
Is rumoured to be providing a script next year.

Mind you, Stephen Fry was supposed to a couple of years ago and it didn't happen as he was too busy.

Hehe
I can see the news now...

Today in Salisbury a badger ate a mans shoe, while in Tisbury gnomes were trampled by an army of cats wearing socks on their heads.

I would tune in for that!

Aaaaaaall around my hat
I will wear a tiny mammal, and then I will take it, place it in a vice, eh!
Summer is a-comin', and then we take crabs, and place them on our eyes, and eat them eat them eat them, take the tiny crabs and shoot them shoot them shoot them, kill the crabs!

gets stuck in my head at work.

Same here. I saw him the night the DVD was filmed for Tinselworm, I was right near the front too! :)

I think quite a lot was cut out of that show for the DVD, they missed out his whole choking on water, dribbling thing. :(

I didn't see him that night unfortunatly
Having had a look at the out-takes, I think they missed the thing with the extendable horn too, which would have been good to see. Seeing him again in a couple of months in Oxford, so I'll be intrigued to see if it's changed much since January.
(Potty Jag har smör i min rumpspringa, Thu 11 Jun 2009, 9:17, Reply)

I saw him in Sheffield
He must have had the horn fixed by London as he managed to break it somewhat.

He did! He went through a whole thing explaining how he had broken it.

Fun for the adults, and educational for the young 'uns.

I'd write the scripts for News 24,
I'd add a lot more nudity.
(PsychoChomp, Thu 11 Jun 2009, 9:09, Reply)

Seeing as the best episode of ER was directed by Quentin Tarantino, I'd go for an episode of Desperate Housewives written and directed by him too
and an episode of Ugly betty written and directed by Robert Rodriguez
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Thu 11 Jun 2009, 9:32, Reply)

Or Desperate Housewives
written by CHCB.

I think a little bit of the bleakly cynical, Norn-Oirish edge would give that show the kick up the arse it's needed since about mid-way through the third series.

(Yes, I actually followed it for two and a half series...)
