Lise Mayer/Snipsons Posted Wed Dec 13 22:09:02 GMT 2000 by 'meee.eeee.eeee'

A question prompted by the edit news- young ones page (although not sure if this is the right place to ask it)....

Lise Mayer, she co-wrote the young ones and apparently has written for The Fast Show, but nothing else.

So my question is: who is she, what is her day job etc etc


Also what is the URL of the Snipsons site??

Lise Mayer made the papers by going out with a lot of comedians, Rik Mayall, Angus Deaton, etc. I forget who she's with now.
There's a great still left out of the Batchelor Boys book of The Young Ones with Lise Mayer in the middle. I think it's in that Morwenna Banks book about women in comedy.

Oh, and http://www.depro.co.uk/main11.html .
If anyone finds any good Furutama edit-spotting sites, tell me.

As far as I know there aren't any. Try a deja search in uk.media.tv.simpsons- a lot of the UK Futurama edits get a mention there.

Lise Mayer wrote the very early 'Casualty' episode 'Drunk'(1986), tackling Duffy's rape. One of the most considered pieces of drama I've seen, long before "sensitively handled" became a media cliche.

I have seen her name elsewhere, but I'm eating right now *and* listening to Ivor Cutler.

This pasta is undercooked etc,

Bent

Bent -

Are you eating bicarbonate of chicken with your pasta?

Last time I saw Lise Mayer was on The Little Picture Show being interviewed about some release or other of The Young Ones. She wasn't on a plugging trail, it was presumably just because she was the only one who was free / could be arsed, etc.

It was nice to see her getting some credit for her hand in the show.

Didn't Lise Mayer write for Smith and Jones or something like that at some point?

Possibly S&J. I do remember she was head writer (or probably 'script associate', given it's Britain) on the second series of Jonathan Ross's The Last Resort (Channel 4, September - December 1987). She may well have done similar duties on series 1 of it, but unfortunately I didn't see much of that as viewers in Wales had their own programmes....

She's living with (married to?) Angus Deayton and I believe is expecting or has had his child.

There was a tabloid news report years ago about Mayall dumping Mayer and marrying some other woman (after having made both of them pregnant). Mayer was said to be 'shocked and dismayed' at the news.

She was interviewed for BBC2's 'History of Alternative Comedy' in 1999, and demonstrated that she didn't actually know that much about her own work.
