Vince Stadon, Sitcom Trials Bristol producer writes:
Next Bristol Sitcom Trials Team meeting: Sunday Sept 2nd - ALL WELCOME!
On the fields of Flanders in February 1918, British officer Major
Summerfield was struck by lightning. He fell off his horse and was
paralysed from the waist down. After the war, he retired to Vancouver,
to indulge his passion for fishing. In 1924, as he fished alongside a
river, lightning hit the tree he was sitting under. The tree fell on
him, paralysing his right side. Remarkably, he recovered, and four
years later he had regained the use of his legs. He was walking through
a park when he was struck by lightning and completely paralysed. He
died two years later. Four years later, lightning struck a cemetery and
completely destroyed his tombstone.
...
The next meeting of the slightly luckier Bristol Sitcom Trials team
will take place at the
Oxford pub, Oxford Street, Totterdown, 3pm, on
Sunday 2nd September. It would be very splendid indeed if you could
come along. Everybody is welcome, we especially like to see new faces,
so please feel free to come along.
We'll be reading the top
five scripts (as voted by peer review) entered into competition for the
Halloween Sitcom Trials. From that five, we'll be choosing at least two
scripts to take forward to the show on Friday October 19th. We'll also
discuss scripts in progress from the Bristol team, and we'll examine
German Chancellor Angela Merkel's handling of the Eurozone liquidity
crisis and its impact on long-term global fiscal policy decisions.
See you Sunday, if I can avoid being struck by lightning.
Kind regards and very best wishes,
--Vince
