Grim O'Grady Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I've been mulling & chewing this idea round for ages for a new tv programme. Here's what I've got so far & with all you artistic P&B'ers out there you might be able to pad it out with scenarios & character plots so I can punt it to either the BBC or Sky to make me loads of money n shit. It's a basic family drama set on the outskirts of St Helens in Lancashire. We start of with the Wilton family having just moved to the setting from Liverpool. Each episode will run a story on each of the Wilton family members. I'd like it to have some moralistic message each week too & probably Sheridan Smith to play most of re parts, make & female. That's as far has I've got So over to you to help me out, assistant roles will be credited to those that come up with the best script ideas etc? Oh I've got a name for it . The Little Scouse On The Prairie. Thanks in advance Grimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Koop Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 How about setting it in a Merseyside police station and calling it something like Z Cars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Skidmarks Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Will every piece of dialogue be signed off - Grimbo? I don't like Scousers and would go out of my way not to watch, so I'm out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite good at doing that nasally whiny scouse accent, so maybe I could play a part, Grimbo Wilton & at the end of each episode as the camera pans out to show the exterior of the family home, the rest of the cast could whine "goodnight Grimbo". In that awful accent of theirs. I might write a part where Grimbo gets his first sexual encounter with the local milk maid Doreen Soreen (played by Sheridan Smith), it might take a few takes eh? Bobby I think it only wise that you are out because how would the credits look rolling up & assistant script writer R Skidmarks pops on to our screens. For that reason you are out.

Grim O'Grady Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 Here - did you ever do your 'It Ain't Half Hot, Mum' song at the game, Grim? I never did, I feel ashamed of myself. If I'm out of the hospital in time for the game & the pain killers are strong enough I'll do it today. I done me back in on the stairs outside our flat, rushing to get out cos I was late for a works do. It only hurts when I laugh or try to stand up.

What happened to the shell suits & curly perms? We could do an episode on smack. Although I'd prefer for my actors to be clean. Grimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim O'Grady Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 I would have to be a non family character as I fear I would become beastly in her presence. That would make a great episode, I can see it now, the nonce episode, would have to go out after the watershed like. dad shags daughter would get the ratings up & Mary Whitehouse spinning. Keep up the stunning plots & I might have to find a payroll to put you on? Grimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
