Those long term readers of this blog among you - those in my basement dungeon with a screen showing my blog where a window should have been - will recall I once watched Inn Mates. And blogged about it. Here.
Well, it seems I was not the only one who thought it wasn't the best. The writer did too.
He basically apologised for it. Here.
Well he sort of apologised. He blamed the BBC Comedy Execs for changing it all. But he did admit Inn Mates was rubbish.
He said his idea was completely different. It was in a pub but would be about people eating Sunday lunch and the twist was... the bar would never be filmed. To be fair - as a concept the jury is still out on how good it would be. Given the article he wrote about it, the jury is out on just how funny he can write. Something about making soup and wearing a tea bag as a hat. A tiny, brown, damp, hat. For what purpose? It isn't even practical. Comedy at least has to obey some laws.
He no longer writes comedy's.
This is a shame. I do hope I wasn't partly to blame.
In this sense, I apologise too.
Actually that hat tea bag thing is pretty funny.
