A guest lecture from Cornish Producer Denzil Monk which turned out to be really enlightening and very interesting session because up to now we haven’t really gone too much into the nuts and bolts of budgets and production costs but Denzil obliged and we were able to discuss funding and cost out the ‘Alien-Doc’….
The ‘Alien Doc’ is the latest project I am embroiled in, we have to have two production roles again, and it was pitched to me a couple of nights ago by James and Michaela.
It is going to revolve around the activities of a group called the Animal Pathology Field Unit (the APFU) that are based up in
Bear with me because as soon as I heard this idea, I thought this has the potential to make great telly and I have been dying to make a programme that is much more ‘produced’, ‘manufactured’ and less ‘free-flowing’ than the other documentaries we’ve made…
My TV programme of the year so far has to be Channel 4 The Undateables it is immense, a sensitive yet good humoured look at the human condition and I think this ‘Alien doc’ can emulate that quality.
A well-measured, even-handed look at average people taking on the extra-terrestrial as well as leading ordinary suburban lives… #TVGOLD.
