Warning - rather rude.

​

Written by ANDREW MACKINTOSH & JULIUS NICHOLSON and produced by Feelgood Fiction, this was an animated element for a live action comedy set around the antics of a 1970s animation studio in London.

 

This was used in the read-through, part of the commissioning process with BBC3 and constituted a dream sequence halfway through the episode.

​

The actors in the read through were superb including a pre-Dr Who Matt Smith, Sheridan Smith and Christopher Biggins of all people!

​

I simply cannot understand the commissioning process though.

 

It was a really innovative, very funny, very well acted show with some great characters and a brilliantly unique concept and setting. Needless to say it didn't get commissioned.

 

Typically the main point of criticism was that it needed to be updated and more contemporary.

 

So a show set around the 70s advertising world wont work will it?

​

Of course not.

​

Don't be silly.

​

Here is the animatic if it is of interest.
