The Way It Is (on TV)
Posted Wed Oct 11 20:39:09 BST 2000 by 'James Gravelaxe'
Can anyone help? A month or so ago, I happended to see a TV version of the above. BBC have only shown one episode. Have they made any more? If so when do they plan to show them? Was it shit-canned because Lolly is too gorgeous for TV?

It was bloody awful, that may have had something to do with the silence since then.

That was a 'one-off special' for TV. As as far as I know there are no current plans to do more for TV.
But it wasn't that bad.

Peter, do you work in TV comedy?
It's just the bitterness and contempt of your postings has always made me wonder...

The Way It Is is, IMHO, gash.

Sounds a like a pilot. Probably didn't wanna make a series but had a hole in the schedule.
Incidentally, I went to a BBC Comedy Writing seminar in Manchester and they played a clip of The Way It Is (radio version) It went down like a lead dodo. Whatshername, (tries to remember name of Controller of Radio 4) said it "could have been better". Perhaps if the assembled masses of hard-bitten Radio 4-hating Manc stand-ups had liked it she might have said something different.

Stop trying to guess who people are, it spoils the fun!
Can you give a specific example of me slagging something off that didn't deserve it?

I think all your postings implicitly slag off life itself.
