Commercial Break: Svengali

Fraser Lewry's picture

Word reader Dean Cavanagh has alerted me to a new internet series he's written called Svengali. It's about a naive fella from the Welsh Valleys trying to tout his band around London - apparently Alan McGee makes an appearance in episode two. It's a non-profit thing at the moment (i.e. no-one has given the production company any money) but they hope to get funding from the suits one day. Any suits reading?

I absolutely loved his short story in Disco Biscuits. Tears, there were tears of laughter.

Crikey, I'd actually watch that

Nice Auf Wiedersehen Pet feel to it, a couple of nice lines, nice in-joke (the post-Groucho sniff), nice acting, nicely sets up the series proper.... small wonder nobody'll finance it: it's a good idea, well executed.

Can't see the video at work...

but it sounds a bit like a Welsh Flight of the Conchords.

Not that that would necessarily be a bad thing, mind.

That's great!

I could watch a lot more of that!
