My regular reader may be wondering what has happened to the semi-regular series of pun-based fake television programmes.
As a result of the screen-writers strike in the US I am currently in negotiations to determine if I can use my collection of pun-based titles with anticipated trailers or descriptions for your delectation and delight. Obviously prior to the strike I stored an extensive backlog of pun-based titles and mini-trailers or descriptions. However, pending guidance from Union officials the following are in abeyance and may not see the light of day:
The secret diary of a coil girl
The secret dairy of a call girl
The secret diary of a cool girl
The secret diary of a Kohl girl
The secret diary of a Col girl
and fake gameshows including
Goldenbowls – a sports based gameshow from the late 1980s
Strictly Come Lancing – medieval Bruce Forsyth hosted show
Kant down – the philosophers game show
&c
Have we had the secret diary of a cale girl yet?
No, but happy to add to the list
Whatever happened to Brian Cant?
He was rejected for the voice of Windy Miller/Camberwick green in the breakfast cereal advert (which ended up with Charlie Higson) and the last I saw of him was guesting in BBC TV’s Doctors.
The secret diary of a CAL girl (China Airlines?)
Got one – apologies if you have done this one already – drawing on Ms. Piper’s SF heritage…
The secret diary of a Total Re-call girl
All added to my list
I have a back catalogue of fake game shows at http://loveandgarbage.livejournal.com/tag/fake+game+show
Quality varies (substantially)
