This list pointed to one thing. I'm going to make a TV show. With puppets. Puppets talking about pop culture & music.
This blog is going to follow that process.

I'm listening to the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rfDvpfC2bw">Cold War Kids</a> as it is too sunny for something heavy & too cold for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevie_Wonder">Stevie Wonder</a>. I'm also drinking a <a href="http://www.hendricksgin.com/">G & T</a> which is customary in our house on a Sunday. I like this custom a lot.<br />
<br />
I'm currently living in Norfolk which is funny because everyone is accidently racist, but deppressing because a lot of people are actually massive racists. What the hell has this got to do with a TV show or Puppets?<br />

<br />
They look like they've made themselves out of anything they can find, they are cute & creepy, beautiful & slightly haunting all at once.<br />
<br />
However hard I tried to dismiss my love of puppetry as something childish, like wanting to be an astronaut, we kept getting taken on school trips here to see strange & wonderful things from all over the world, not just their own productions. Inspiring, inventive & like nothing else on earth. <br />
<br />
It is also the same age as me (Although I think the Theatre, situated in old of Norwich's many churches that aren't churches, has aged considerably better!)<br />

The whole joke I came up with was that they should start with a typical tough guy trying to start an argument line like "Are you looking at my bird?" which would then be replied to in the politest possible way eg. "Why yes I was, may I say she looks ravishing!" This would then lead to a throughly lovely discourse said in true Chap style.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xPzDbKofNmU/S5-vv04xYyI/AAAAAAAAAIo/ieAr2AqNCZ4/s1600-h/the-chap2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xPzDbKofNmU/S5-vv04xYyI/AAAAAAAAAIo/ieAr2AqNCZ4/s400/the-chap2.jpg" vt="true" width="287" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><em>What do you mean you haven't read The Chap? Here old bean, <a href="http://www.thechap.net/">click this</a>.</em></div><br />
As I needed some sewing practice before tackling my main puppets, I thought I'd have a go at <br />
making the sock puppets, I wanted them to have button eyes & look very homemade. Here is the sketch page with the ideas:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xPzDbKofNmU/S5-6INq5EoI/AAAAAAAAAJI/x0JsRy1OCAM/s1600-h/DSC03337.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xPzDbKofNmU/S5-6INq5EoI/AAAAAAAAAJI/x0JsRy1OCAM/s400/DSC03337.JPG" vt="true" width="300" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><em>You may notice some terrible theme song lyrics, more on that later.</em></div><br />
Here are all the buttons my Mother gave me to play with:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xPzDbKofNmU/S5-yhvBQeGI/AAAAAAAAAIw/6IWwnhp3XP0/s1600-h/DSC03268.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xPzDbKofNmU/S5-yhvBQeGI/AAAAAAAAAIw/6IWwnhp3XP0/s400/DSC03268.JPG" vt="true" width="400" /></a></div><br />
I wanted to throw them all on the floor & rol around in them like a cat, but that would've been messy. <br />
<br />
Here are the socks with the buttons chosen for eyes:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xPzDbKofNmU/S5-y6ru9dUI/AAAAAAAAAI4/mgE083epxyA/s1600-h/DSC03272.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xPzDbKofNmU/S5-y6ru9dUI/AAAAAAAAAI4/mgE083epxyA/s320/DSC03272.JPG" vt="true" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><em>All these socks are mine. I have cold feet now.</em> </div><br />
<br />
I really didn't think through the logistics of sewing buttons onto an over-the-knee length sock. It took me all night to finish one. By which point I was a bottle of wine down & watching music TV. Then this happened:<br />
<br />
<br />
<object height="344" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_rRXI39poLc&hl=en_GB&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_rRXI39poLc&hl=en_GB&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />
<br />
To me Slow Hands by the amazing Interpol was a pretty funny song to film to. In doing it I realised several things: I don't know the words of that song as well as I thought. Also my hands are much smaller than my feet, so the sock was quite baggy & didn't move in the way I wanted it to, I may need to look into some padding. I'm also concerned that my camera didn't pick up some of the faster movements very well.<br />
<br />
There will be more from these little fellas next week I promise!ElizaElevenMinuteshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17538389368289288459noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1716363275894581755.post-12173943220022455982010-03-10T09:10:00.000-08:002010-03-10T09:10:47.674-08:00Sunday, Puppet Sunday.So this Puppet Sunday isn't late, I just wanted to post it on "NO <strike>FUN</strike> SMOKING DAY"<br />
<br />
This is going to be a quick one. A good friend of mine has had some sad news recently & when I enquired as to how he was doing he told me he was OK & listening to lot's of <a href="http://www.savestheday.com/">Saves</a> <a href="http://www.myspace.com/savestheday">The</a> <a href="http://www.blogger.com/">Day.</a><br />
<br />
It made me think of this video:<br />
<br />
<object height="344" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4L-BZ-M6nvE&hl=en_GB&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4L-BZ-M6nvE&hl=en_GB&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />
<br />
I love maribu covered puppets, the movement it creates is almost slow motion. I will be using real hair for my puppets, mainly as I have a bag full of extensions that I no longer use, but the greatest thing about this video is the fact that the puppets are doing the kinds of things even Oscar the Grouch wouldn't be seen doing, yet it still maintains a sweetness that I feel is important, at least it is to me.<br />
<br />
As a great example I give you Big Bird on Jimmy Kimmel:<br />
<br />
<object height="344" width="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/el9tfwU208I&hl=en_GB&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/el9tfwU208I&hl=en_GB&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object><br />
<br />

<br />
He is totally appropriate for a Late Night talk show, even one that can be <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_pFTAY7MF8">'edgy'</a> (I hate that word but I can't think of a better one.) but the integrity of the character isn't comprimised. Yes there is something awesome about watching cartoon characters doing bad things, whether it's Drugs, Sex or Violence, but with puppets there's something slightly different for me.<br />
<br />
As much as my little fellas are going to be drinking, cussing, horror movie loving, chain smoking, sarcastic wee buggers. I don't need them to push it any further. <br />
<br />
On the subject of smoking, this is something I do want my puppets to do. Sitting around smoking FAGS (Not other things) is what me & my friends used to do, it's the conversations we had after too much coffee, too many cups of tea, to much booze, that have inspired the scripts & the dynamic of this whole project.<br />
<br />
I get cross that a lot of characters in both film & on TV that would smoke in real life don't. EVERYONE on Corrie & Eastenders would smoke. Instead we have this one beacon of truth (& AWESOME)<br />

I would like my little fellas to look & work like this, but it's scaring the Class Of Nuke 'Em High Hell out of me that they take two people to opperate. I think the hardest thing I have to do is going to be finding someone to play Hutch. If only I knew Bill Hader...(Who is AWESOME.)<br />

Fuck it. Here's some more:<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><i>If this doesn't make you laugh I hate you.</i></div><br />
I feel this is valid as dancing will be a big part of the show, the puppets have to look funny when they dance. I'm working on an "Excited Grover" type movement.<br />

Also, Pugs are expensive & dumb & funny as all hell. Here are my 4 favourite pug videos:<br />
<br />

How much fun will it be to make my Pug Puppet do that action?<br />

This video makes me weep with laughter, everytime I see it. Srsly. I have been trying to cut this to music, but I'm having a super hard time with my video editing software. The Music I want to use is by <a href="http://www.last.fm/music/An+Albatross">An</a> <a href="http://www.myspace.com/analbatross23">Albatross </a>They have the number <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/23_Enigma">23</a> (More about this later) in their myspack URL. Which is awesome. If you know their music, you will probs guess which track I want to use.<br />

I like this video because it highlights two great things about pugs: The stupid noises they make & the amount of stupid they have, make & do!<br />
<br />

<br />
Pugs make dumb noises. They are funny, I've been practicing making those weird creaky sounds, but they always turn into snuffly pig noises (Not because I can't, but because I LOVE making snuffly pig noises, it's fun.) Also, there used to be a dog that lived in one of the houses near mine who would come into our yard and play with me & the cat. I called him Pigdog as when he got excited (Which was every two seconds.) he made that noise. I heard him being called by his owner once & found out his name was "Beckham". Oh My Days. I think Pigdog was infact a kinder name.<br />
<br />
If you don't know the noise I'm talking about, imagine a cross between a truffle pig & Willie The Weasle:<br />

Here is the first sketch of the Pug Puppet:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xPzDbKofNmU/S4k8JN8_WJI/AAAAAAAAAGo/SHRYhqHihv4/s1600-h/DSC03240.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xPzDbKofNmU/S4k8JN8_WJI/AAAAAAAAAGo/SHRYhqHihv4/s640/DSC03240.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>There's a couple of things about this page I will mention: you can see on the left me working through names for the guys. I wanted the dog to have a super long name My cats full name is Charlie Kingston Carwash Fonzerelli III. (I could explain why, but it's not that important right now.) But as this is a pop/geek culture show it made sense to me to name him after someone, I was debating <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001850/">Billy Dee Williams</a>:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xPzDbKofNmU/S4lE-8ww5kI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/YZHslMy9ggQ/s1600-h/lanodcape.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xPzDbKofNmU/S4lE-8ww5kI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/YZHslMy9ggQ/s320/lanodcape.jpg" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>This picture tells you why. Lando can double cross me ANYTIME.</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here is is in the trailer for <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0489049/">Fanboys</a> playing a Judge called <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001662/">Judge Reinhold</a> also, it's an excuse to look at Jay Baruchel (Dressed as Darth Vader does something I probably shouldn't admit to.) again...(Also it's an amazingly funny film.):</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

But there will be quite enough Star` Wars references. You should be able to see, at the bottom of the page, the name "Julius Cassius III" Which should actually be <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0141114/">Julius J. Carry III .</a>Who in the Zombie Hookers From Hell is he when he's at home, or anywhere else he may choose to be?" I hear you ask? He played <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089461/quotes">SHO 'NUFF: THE SHOGAN ASSASIN</a> in Berry's Gordy's <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089461/">The Last Dragon</a>.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><i>Hey Kayne, you DID NOT do these glasses first, or bestest!</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

KISS HIS CONVERSE!</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Being a Berry Gordy production, the music in this film is incredible. The Stevie Wonder track "Upset Stomach" is always on my mp3 player. But it's this song (Below) by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanity_%28performer%29">VANITY</a> that really does it for me:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div>This video WILL be featured on the show. Mainly because it is dope. There is so much I could say about Vanity, Sho 'Nuff & The Last Dragon, but I'd really just say: watch it & have a read about these guys. I wish Prince would give me a new name...<br />

Or calling everything reserch, when really I'm just googling places to buy Star Wars curtains.<br />
<br />
Pretty much the first thing I put to paper was this:<br />

But that's quite enough for on. Back on course. Saturday I went to my favourite haberdasher/material shop, <a href="http://www.anglianfashionfabrics.co.uk/page/1">Anglia Fashion Fabrics.</a> It's just magical & the ladies who work there are all just superstars. Most of my little fella's clothes will be made from dolls clothes & my scrap bag, apart from the girl cardy, which I've started knitting. So all I really needed were the eyes & some felt to play around with. I've choosen dark pink for the girls skin as I want them to have dark brown hair (Yeah for old hair extensions...). I've got the nose for my dog puppet (More on that later) & a bell for his collar. Here is a picture of what I bought!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Just a video of some great puppteering. <br />
<br />
<object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HdUeVAkzEas&hl=en_GB&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HdUeVAkzEas&hl=en_GB&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Ma nah ma nah. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">This a great example of how simple a puppet can be to be unbelievably funny. I love the way they are designed to move, it's something I've been looking into a lot. I've written a list of movements I want my characters to be able to do. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Firstly they have to be able to face palm:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xPzDbKofNmU/S27uNA6TkrI/AAAAAAAAAEA/tzhokStC75M/s1600-h/doublefacepalm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xPzDbKofNmU/S27uNA6TkrI/AAAAAAAAAEA/tzhokStC75M/s320/doublefacepalm.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Then they have to be able to do a big sigh:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hHwxC8Rk-gU&hl=en_GB&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hHwxC8Rk-gU&hl=en_GB&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>(it's the moment at 0:15 that slays me every time.)</i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Then they have to be able to do a funny dance:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fILHw2IlzHo&hl=en_GB&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fILHw2IlzHo&hl=en_GB&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>(Turn the sound off first if you are easily offended by shrill pop)</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">So the way I create them has to reflect these things. I feel the video above (The Muppets, not the GIANT Japanese cat.) is one of many great examples of designing a puppet specifically for movement.<i><br />

Some of the jokes are from here so I'm going to put them in. Along with a bunch of Sketches. Some of them are a weird colour. They are all hand drawn collages made with newspaper & magazines & greaseproof paper.<br />
<br />
It was going to be called What Are You For? I can't remeber why. This what I was going to be the name of my show, but I thought of something else, more on that later. <br />

The humour is pretty different, I had a no swearing rule. (I was swearing a lot at the time & trying to control it.) But some of the word play jokes I'm going to use. There is a Spelling Mistake in one of them. Find it & win a prize!<br />
<br />
There are more & sketches. I may post them on a slow day. Hopefully they are big enough to read....x<br />

I've already put a lot of work into the ideas I've been coming up with for this. So maybe I should start by telling you how my little brain decided to do this.<br />
<br />
My & the other half were watching Beavis & Butthead. I got sad because I used to be an MTV kid when that meant something good.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xPzDbKofNmU/S2hgl6Y51nI/AAAAAAAAAAM/b9CSAvxtW-I/s1600-h/mtv_low_res.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xPzDbKofNmU/S2hgl6Y51nI/AAAAAAAAAAM/b9CSAvxtW-I/s400/mtv_low_res.jpg" width="337" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Does anyone else remember 120 minutes?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I started talking about shows that poke fun at things, in a nice affectionate & knowledgeable way, then it hit me. That's what I should do. I wrote down a list (Oh god I love lists, srsly. I write several a day & sometimes even lists of the lists I need to write. I do sometimes even get things done.) of the best commentators of pop culture, or anything.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div>Here is my list, or Inspiration Ground Zero:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statler_and_Waldorf">Statler & Waldorf.</a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lhmjnYKlVnM&hl=en_GB&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lhmjnYKlVnM&hl=en_GB&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Cranky, obnoxious & hilarious. (I was going to use a classic clip, but this one seemed to fit so much better.) I will talk A LOT more on Mr. Henson when I start making the puppets. But I'll keep this short & sweet for now. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.mst3k.com/">Mystery Science Theatre</a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I don't need anymore reason than that.</div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">The pure guenius of just the silhouettes, it was as if you were watching it with your friends, if your friends were actually that funny. See also <a href="http://www.rifftrax.com/">Rifftrax</a> by the same guys. The twilight one is predictably awesome. </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">And Finally, of course..... </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xPzDbKofNmU/S2huMURgYKI/AAAAAAAAAAc/AI7CImIrzNE/s1600-h/beavis_and_butthead_headbanging.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xPzDbKofNmU/S2huMURgYKI/AAAAAAAAAAc/AI7CImIrzNE/s320/beavis_and_butthead_headbanging.gif" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
So I'm starting off with these three, as obvious influences but I'd also like to mention:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xPzDbKofNmU/S2hwby1VToI/AAAAAAAAAAk/brC7RTai7wU/s1600-h/Joe+lOVES+cRAPPY+mOVIES.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="235" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xPzDbKofNmU/S2hwby1VToI/AAAAAAAAAAk/brC7RTai7wU/s400/Joe+lOVES+cRAPPY+mOVIES.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
(For more Comics: There's a link on the right, click it.)<br />
<br />
Also: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Brooker">Charlie</a> <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/charliebrooker">Brooker</a>. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Here he is talking about The Wire ages before everyone else decided they liked it. (This means he is cooler than you.) </div><object height="340" width="560"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sZ2iGYwdEi8&hl=en_GB&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sZ2iGYwdEi8&hl=en_GB&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><br />
<br />
Whilst he is best known for scathing, scathing reviews of how just awful telly is,<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=6A2C4224B981014B&search_query=Charlie+Brooker">(The Entirety of Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe</a> & <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjFiTd2nmI4">Charlie Brooker's Gameswipe.)</a>in particular his piece on the media coverage of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jade_Goody">Jade Goody</a> is incredible, but sometimes he talks about stuff he likes. This piece on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Postgate">Oliver Postgate</a> makes me cry everytime I watch it. <br />
<br />
<object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/uAftt3UnzoI&hl=en_GB&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/uAftt3UnzoI&hl=en_GB&fs=1&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />
<br />
I also include this as Mr. Postgate's beautiful simple work & DIY ethos of simplicity and just plain loveliness is also engrained in me & my heart & a big part of what I'm doing.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xPzDbKofNmU/S2h1L9yCrpI/AAAAAAAAAA0/l1lG6ClsX7c/s1600-h/Oliver-Postgate-And-Bagpu-001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xPzDbKofNmU/S2h1L9yCrpI/AAAAAAAAAA0/l1lG6ClsX7c/s320/Oliver-Postgate-And-Bagpu-001.jpg" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What a wonderful, wonderful man. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div>Speaking of DIY awesomeness but on a lighter note:<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Set in a fake bedroom & made with toys &....Oh fuckticks, just go & buy the DVD, if I have to tell you about this, you shouldn't be reading this, you'll hate anything I make. <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Adam-Joe-Show-DVD/dp/B0002CVQD6">BUY IT!</a> If I can make one person as happy as I was when I first watched this, then I don't care if I never make a penny from this.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div>I will never be as good as these guys, but they cover a pretty wide range of humour whilst all doing the esentially the same thing I'd like to do. Thought you should know what set my little brain ticking.<br />
