Members of the forum will have access to the scripts. I have added some content - and will be adding more about the proposed characters, plot synopses and ideas for episodes. If not, you will still have opportunities, via the community that I shall build, to contribute your opinions. Even if you cannot think of any ideas just now, you may do so later. Please sign up to this project and share it with other knitters who I may not have contacted. Initially, I would like to hear from any groups or individuals who would be interested in collaborating on this project by sharing anecdotes, special things individual knitters or groups have done/achieved, happy/sad knitting related stories, successes/failures - anything, even if it is just a short notion of 20 or 30 words or so. At the moment I am working on the pilot and have set myself a deadline for end of January. My next job is to layer the content, to enrich it and to decide on some story arcs for each character.
#BITCH CLOCKED ME WITH A SMOOVIE SERIES#
I have created the main group of 6 characters, and I have planned a series of episodes. That is, I want to explode the stereotypes but also make us stand out as the unique types that we are! I intend to write a light, hearted, fun, family show and to do for the images of knitting, knitters and knitting groups what "The Vicar of Dibley" did for female clergy. I am currently writing a sitcom based in/on a knitting group. 'I have been knitting for 40 years and I am also a writer. I’ve pasted some information from her email below: Julie Stewart is a knitting writer and is working on a sitcom based around a knitting group! As she would like it to be UK based, and aimed primarily at the UK market, she is now approaching almost 100 UK knitters for participation. Raining wool! Excellent! (This is the earliest known written reference to spider silk, by the way.)Īs ole Alan has the irritating ability to pop up on every radio, TV, website and newspaper (often concurrently) and shows no sign of abating, I guess I will have to learn to love him. He tells us, such were the concentration of spiderlings hatching one year, that 'it rained wool round about the stronghold of Compsa (note 147: Pliny the Elder, Natural History: A Selection.' 77AD)'. John watched his 'Nature of Britain' on Wednesday while I battled with a sock heel - and Alan did actually make me ears prick up. Luckily, BBC seems to have realised the error of their ways and are starting to recruit the wonderful Iain Stewart instead. The fabulous Aubrey Manning would have been a far better choice (a hark back to my cheery Edinburgh days) or the masterly and merry Richard Fortey (but, then, I am biased). But, why, you ask? Well, i t's pretty much for the same reason that the fairly innocuous James Blunt manages to get up some people’s noses…Īctually, my pseudo-aversion comes from the fact that he seems to be the David Attenborough replacement and, as for his geology-based programmes.well, don't get me started. Unlike Gerard from IKL, I'm afraid I'm just not a Alan Titchmarsh fan.
