Me on TV?

[imomus]

After a spate of abstruse and intelligent journal entries about pond life and suchlike, I thought I'd make a rather stupid and jubilant one just showing me, yesterday, chuffed to the proverbials because a producer from my favourite British TV programme -- in fact the only British terrestrial TV programme I watch regularly -- contacted me quite out of the blue to say he was thinking of trying me out for the show. I can't tell you which show it is until something comes of this -- and probably nothing will. But after years in what feels like a wilderness, at least as far as my relationship with the UK is concerned, to appear on British TV, and on my favourite show, would feel like some kind of triumphant return to the bosom of the motherland.

Ha ha ha, you are awful... but I like you!

Actually, I wish it was a sitcom, I'd love to write one. Or something like Vic Reeves, Peter Cook or Chris Morris' shows. I was reading a book about British TV comedy from 1960-1980 on the plane back from Japan, and it really was a very creative period for writing. Some of the sketches were priceless, I was giggling for hours on the plane at the early Peter Cook sketches especially.
