I was doing my ironing and kept having to stop and put my iron down to stare open mouthed at the screen
what a bunch of raving luvvies
my best bit was Neil Pearson saying "It seems that most of these people have seen more tv than theatre..."

I know, I know Grin
But at least Channel 4 are making a documentary series about the theatre! (Marina tries to look on the bright side)

Well, she might be deeply annoying, but that was an important first production of a playwright who does brilliant youth theatre work as well as grating in-yer-face stuff.
Mark Ravenhill is honestly a national treasure and she got him his breakthrough...
Disregard all the scenery-chewing and self-indulgence and underneath there is work of lasting cultural value.

And if people were not allowed to appear on telly because they were unhinged or had a drink problem then UK TV would be down to one channel, two hours a night, surely Wink

I did think it was quite entertaining - it only to see the luvvies in action. Can't wait to see how it progresses. I now think Beety looks like the mad producer ! Grin
Its just the X Factor in disguise isn't it !
