So the last time I can really remember trying to write a blog was back when I was bored in university. Out of this great tedium random concepts began to form in my mind, great abstract solutions to many of the worlds problems flashed before my eyes... and then I decided to make a post along the lines of;
'I really want a battleship. Can you guess why? Because battleships have rail cannons and rail cannons are freaking cool!'
With these words of wisdom shared with the novice blogger's tool of choice at the time (livejournal) I resigned myself back to boredom and occasionally typing 'pew pew rail cannon'.
With my short blogging past behind me I feel this is sufficient a launching point for something new, for me that is, and just generally spout whatever is in my head about whatever I've seen on any particular day; exciting stuff right?
So kick everything off - found out yesterday that someone had once again beaten me to the punch of producing a Briton v Roman comedy series, lead by none other than Rory Mcgrath. Titled 'Chelmsford 123' it includes quite a large cast when compared with shows such as 'Blackadder' who run in a similar vein but it manages to refrain from being clumsy. After analysing each member of cast and their role, comparing their part to a character in my own script, I suddenly noticed that Mcgrath was looking rather young. A lot younger in fact than when I had seen him on 'Three Men in a Boat'. A quick IMDB search later and the answer becomes embarrassingly apparent; the show was first filmed in 1988, also known as three years after I was born. On the plus side I don't feel like I missed the boat on an opportunity any more and it is a very funny show.
