The Tue Hockey Stick
Believer in the new religion of AGW, anthropogenic global warming or climate change will be sick of having their science based faith mocked and their scientist priests ridiculed. To help them hold to their belief we offer a change to own a fragment of the true hockey stick, the sacred symbol of their religion.

Climate Change Evangelists: Own A Fragment Of The True Hockey Stick.

Alert readers may have noticed we at Boggart Blog take delight in excoriating a certain kind of scientist. It is not all scientists we ridicule, just those who insist on behaving as if science, like some oppressive religion is beyond question and doubt. If people insist on claiming science is sacrosanct and to question it is heresy they must accept being treated as religious funny mentalists.

NB Excoriate is Boggart Blog's word of the month. We have previously not drawn your attention to our words of the month, not even Solipsism last December although it was a cracker, but recently a magazine that supports the agenda of the Politically Correct Thought Police published a "good writing guide" in which, apart from denouncing commas, semi colons and exclamation marks as abominations it excoriated writers who use biggish words in properly constructed sentences and pay attention to the meaning of what they write. Such things are reactionary and anti - progressive they said.

At our next editorial meeting we decided to resist the march of the Politically Correct Thought Police and the "progressive humanists" who support them, (these control freaks always describe themselves as progressive though stripping people of the power to think for themselves can hardly be describes as progress.) We particularly want to irritate people like the boy scientist who recently told us "the scientific way of knowing is the only way of knowing." One might well respond to that by saying "The scientific way of being a twat is the only way of being a twat."

The new religion of omnipotent, omniscient and ineffable (especially by inarticulate scientists) science is gaining many adherents particularly among the evil nazi control freaks politicians who guide the destiny of nations. These people are getting closer and closer to declaring any questioning of or lack of belief in Anthropogenic Global Warming, the sanctum sanctorum of modern science, a grand felony and upgrading the minor misdemeanour of thinking for oneself a capital offence.

The religion of science and particularly the cult of Climate Change Science looks set to follow the medieval Catholic Church in enforcing belief so ruthlessly people will be competing to show their devotion lest they be denounced as doubters or less than fully committed to the cause.

Such an atmosphere creates entrepreneurial opportunities for religiously self interested businesses.

After extortion, kidnapping for ransom, rapine and plunder and cracking people over the head with one of those spiked iron balls and stealing their valuables the biggest industry in the medieval warm period era of religious oppression was selling holy relics.

All over Europe the trade in genuine Holy Relics flourished to such an extent that documentary evidence shows Jesus had fourteen foreskins (three of which still exist) and Saint Augustine had over a hundred fingers.

The greatest treasure of all however was a fragment of the true cross. If all the fragments of the true cross in all the churches in Christendom were assembled in one place it would prove The Son Of God was crucified on a small forest.

What has this to do with excoriating the Hierophants The Cult Of Climate Change Science? you might well ask. Anyone who knows history will know that after the oppression of free thought the church fragmented into a thousand warring cults because there was no tangible and unifying symbol of faith. The cross had its origins in Hinduism, the foreskins (not to be confused with the neo -nazi punk band The Four Skins) were mostly lost but could have been anybody's, the transubstantiation of communion bread and wine in the communicant's mouth was an abstract idea, it tasted like bread and wine and everyone knew the Christmas Lights were pagan.

Here, thanks to this exclusive Boggart Blog reader offer the followers of the God AGW and the cult of Climate Change can help preserve a tangible symbol of their faith. If you believe Carbon is Satan and all the carbon in the world should be purged of evil by being turned into statues of St. Michael Mann and Maharishi Rajendra Pachauri act now.

The sacred symbol of the Climate Change cult of Lord AGW is the hockey stick. You may recall from reading the scripture that after the anomaly of The Medieval Warm Period was discredited by the discovery of a bog oak preserved in a peat bog for several centuries showed the tree rings during the alleged warm period indicated less than normal growth when in warm weather more growth would be expected there was less growth (medieval trees were not scientifically advanced enough to know that in hot, dry weather they are not supposed to grow.) Once St. Michael Mann understood this message from their God the sacred hockey stick manifested itself of a piece of graph paper.

It was a clear sign of the will of Lord AGW; St. Michael Mann and Maharishi Rajendrea Pachauri caused a hockey stick to be fashioned from the bog oak that had been God's messenger. It was to be erected in the Church of Cap And Trade in the United Nations Plaza.

Sadly the True Hockey Stick was stolen by fanatical freethinkers in an operation known as Climategate and smashed into fragments by followers of a cult dedicated to letting nature take its course. Without a sacred symbol on which to focus their belief the AGW cult that had claimed to be the only hope of humankind fell into disarray.

If you are a true believer in Cap And Trade and the Lord God AGW and you are prepared to sacrifice 95% of your personal wealth, your reputation and your sanity to own a fragment of the True Hockey Stick act now. Send details of your bank account along with your PIN number to Boggart Blog (Crazy Religions Department) Pismire Moss, The North Of England.

We regret that we cannot show you a photograph of the True Hockey Stick fragment you will own, the ancient timber is too fragile to be exposed to photographic lighting. This does have an advantage however in that sceptics and unbelievers will not be able to erode your faith by pointing out the sacred fragment looks like a cocktail stick you could buy from any supermarket.

Save the Hockey Stick, save the faith.

ATTENTION CLIMATEGATE BELIEVERS. Boggart Blog is now negotiating with the Church of Climategate keepers of the True Gate. We hope to shortly be in a position to give you the chance to own a fragment of the True Gate.

The Rising Seas Are Not Down To Global Warming Alone.Rising Seas Not Down To Global Warming A new study shows that global warming is not the only cause of swelling seas.

This inevitably ends up in the oceans after it evaporates from farmland and comes down as rain.
The study which will be published in the next issue issue of Geophysics Research Letters – estimates that extraction of ground water for domestic and industrial use accounts for about 25% of sea-level rise around the world, the same as the melting ice from the glaciers outside Greenland and Antarctica.

Indian Mosque ControversyMulticulturalism has been a disaster everywhere it has been imposed.

Vertical Farming: The Looniest Idea Yet For Saving The PlanetClimate Science is a strange discipline. Part trainspotting, part trekkie convention going, it combines an almost autistic obession with collcting details, a very autistic obsession with focusing on a single theme and a fantasist's capacity for self deception and a taste for mutual masturbation. The latest loonytoons idea for saving the planet involves turning skyscraper buildings into farms growing food for urban populations. Apart from increasing the cost of food by 1000% and increasing rather than reducing the carbon footprint of food production the idea is so insane noboy could ever take it seriously. Nobody that is except scientists, politicians, academics and the media.

The Futility Of Wind Farms.In some ways the Conservative / Liberal Democrat coalition has made quite a good start in government. One area they are set to fail badly however is energy. Driven by politically correct thinking the coalition are set to follow Labour down the road that goes through wind power and eventually leads nowhere. Wind turbines look fine on paper. If they generate at their optimum output for 365 days a year the contribution to energy needs looks like a viable business proposition. The problem is due to the limitations of the technology and the vagaries of the weather wind farms are doing well if they operate at a quarter of their potential output.
Climate Change Crooks And LiarsThough climate change alarmists claim that that "the science is settled" no longerr holds water the arguments rage on.

One of the lies most often repeated by the Climate Science lobby is that 'the science stands' i.e. that no fault was found in the scientific work of the CRU.

This report features the Max Planck Institute's take on climate science and the IPCC.

Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle will be back in 2014!

Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle has been commissioned for another two series. The show is set be broadcast on BBC Two in 2014/15.

Since the first series aired in 2009, the programme has built up a fiercely loyal audience, and Stewart will once again be taking the opportunity to ruffle a few feathers. Produced by Richard Webb and directed by Tim Kirkby, Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle is a mixture of stand-up and sketches, performed by Stewart and special guest.

BBC Comedy is thrilled with the commission, with the Head of In-house Comedy, Mark Freeland commenting: "How brilliant that BBC Two has given Stewart Lee two more series. It's reward for a unique, perfectionist, hardworking, bit scary comedy master and the wonderful team behind him. I'm standing by with my compliance forms".

Stewart Lee is also excited at the prospect of two more series: "It will be amazing to be able to move forward and experiment in this unprecedentedly secure position. Thanks to everyone out there who watched the series, wrote about them, or lobbied for their return. I will make you proud. Peace! I'm outta here! You shoulda killed me last year!".

Chris Reddy - How to Write a Sitcom

Pramface writer, Chris Reddy, stopped by to give us some top tips and insight into the world of sitcom writing:

Hello. I've been asked to do a blog about my writing experiences on Pramface, so here goes...

In brief, an average day would consist of me sitting in a room, staring at a white board covered with illegible scribbles, grinding out pages of scripts late into the night to ever diminishing deadlines while stuffing my face with sugar rich-foods, trying to stay awake.

The next day I would typically wake up to notes from my producer telling me it was 'not good enough' and to 'go back and rewrite... and hurry up'. This went on for months.

So, no, there was not a lot of hanging out in the British Library having lattes, or Soho lunches with glamorous actors talking about how much they love my work. It was basically just one very long slog of writing, rewriting and rewriting again.

Have I put you off yet? If you're still reading, my guess is you're a writer because, let's face it, no normal viewer would be reading this.

So rather than ramble on I thought I'd try to share some of the stuff I've learnt and a few things I'd like to have been told when I was starting out. I'd also add that none of what follows is original, it's just stuff that has struck me as useful along the way. It's all in the many screenwriting books and courses out there already, which brings me to my first point.

1. Read the books
I am always amazed by how many scriptwriters haven't familiarised themselves with the basics of screenwriting technique. In no other profession (like dentistry for example) would you expect to just walk in and have a crack at it without any schooling.

Six episodes of a mid-priced sitcom is going to cost over a million pounds to produce. So when you pitch a script to a broadcaster, you are essentially asking them to spend a million quid on your idea. Whilst they're making this decision, it's probably in your interests for them to feel you have some idea of what you're talking about.

If you are a genius, then spending a couple of weeks reading won't stop you being a genius. You can then happily reject everything the experts say as formulaic nonsense and move on to collecting your armfuls of Oscars, Baftas and Emmys relatively untroubled. If, on the other hand, you're just a regular hack like me, you might find something useful in there.

2. Structure
Everyone bangs on about the importance of structure, and who am I to question them. Half hour narrative comedy is in some ways the most demanding dramatic form (that's right, I'm saying Keeping up Appearances was a tougher gig than Hamlet).

If you're making an art-house film, you've got time to go wandering off on a twenty minute philosophical tangent. The Everyman matinee crowd will love you and your rambling, ambiguous, anti-structure masterpiece.

TV audiences, however, are less tolerant. In television comedy you have to tell funny, coherent, integrated stories in a very compressed time frame. This requires discipline and practice, but you've chosen to write in a populist medium so, no pouting - get used to doing it.

And the truth is, learning to write structurally is actually one of the most rewarding bits of the job. And, when it comes to the dreaded rewrites, I've found having a strong grasp of my story allows me to work more efficiently and approach the task with more confidence.

So how do you structure your comedy script? Well first, don't start with the script...

3. Premise

Classical narrative sitcoms are made up of two acts, but they are acts ii and iii. What? All this means is that the de facto first act of a sitcom is the premise of the show itself. And I don't mean just the backstory; I mean the cast design, the character relationships, and the arena of the show. This is the real root of the comedy.

Make sure you spend time designing your premise rather than just churning out thirty-odd pages of script, hoping your natural gifts will carry you through. Been there, done that, my natural gifts carried me through to a forty page confusing mess that still hasn't been shot. No surprises there.

Writers' tendency to skimp on the design of their premise is the reason script development and script editing in half hour comedy is such a difficult job. By the time a new project makes it into development with a production company, it's often already broken.

And since TV production companies typically develop scripts rather than premises, the structural elements causing the problems will always be out of their reach. This is why, despite the best efforts of talented people, TV shows can still arrive on screen hobbled by the inherent weaknesses of the initial design.

4. Funny stories.

So now you've designed a robust narrative machine, you're going to need a funny story to feed into it.

It's important that the events of the story themselves are funny (or at least dramatically interesting) prior to the inclusion of any dialogue or action. The individual scenes should be amusing just by dint of their position and context in the overall narrative.

I go to my big whiteboard and start by plotting out the events I know I want in my story, putting them in approximately the right position, then I try to connect them up in an interesting way. It's somewhere between doing a jigsaw and drawing a picture. You try to see how the pieces you already have slot together, and then fill in the gaps.

Do this for your A plot and any subplots until you have an interesting, escalating story with promising comic scenes, and a strong payoff, then fill in the dialogue and action.

The benefit of this approach is that when you write your actual script, the dialogue magically improves because it's been released from the burden of carrying the plot.

Conversely, a properly positioned scene becomes much funnier because it has the full weight of narrative behind it. The comic tension is generated by the entire story rather than disconnected bits of business in-scene, or superficially 'comic' dialogue.

You should aim for about 35 pages in standard feature screenplay format. It'll be around six thousand words give or take a couple of hundred depending on how verbose you are with your stage directions.

5. Why won't they call?
So you've written your spec and sent it out, and now everyone is ignoring it. When you first start out, the industry can seem to take an age to respond. Sometimes it never calls back at all. It's easy to feel isolated and get frustrated when everyone seems to be ignoring you or, worse, deliberately excluding you. However, your fears are unfounded. Conspiracy implies a degree of organisation that is absent from most of the organisations you currently believe to be maliciously ignoring you.

If you have talent, then you will get through eventually. In the meantime, don't waste your time and energy getting angry and despondent. Get better at your job. The truth is that writing talent is relatively commonplace, craft is rare. If you develop your technical abilities, you will instantly distinguish yourself from 90% of the writers in the marketplace.

Very few people can write at a professional level, very few do. Most of the television being produced today is written by a small group of people. This group has three subsets made up of the supremely talented, the moderately talented who have learned some craft, and a bunch of people who you could supplant if you write a decent script.

Now stop browsing the Internet and go and do some writing.

The Thick of It Returns

 

Armando Iannucci's award-winning political comedy series The Thick Of It returns to BBC Two this autumn.

Coalition rows take their place alongside Government embarrassment, ministerial cock-ups, backroom deals, policy U-turns, spin-doctoring, political back-stabbing and wild media speculation

Roger Allam returns as Peter Mannion MP, the new Secretary of State for The Department of Social Affairs and Citizenship (DOSAC), supported by his team of special advisors, commanded by Number 10's Director of Communications Stewart Pearson (Vincent Franklin) and thwarted by his new Coalition partner, DOSAC's Junior Minister Fergus Williams MP (Geoffrey Streatfeild).

BAFTA award winners Rebecca Front and Peter Capaldi reprise their roles as Nicola Murray MP and foul-mouthed spin doctor Malcolm Tucker, both now consigned to the Opposition. The ensemble cast is completed by Chris Addison, Joanna Scanlan, James Smith, Olivia Poulet, Will Smith, Ben Willbond, and Rebecca Gethings.

Armando Iannucci says that this series takes us into exciting and uncharted territory: "A new Coalition Government, and Malcolm and Nicola fretting in the wings. For the first time too a storyline takes us all the way through the series right to the bitter, bitter end, with Government and Opposition convulsed in an incident that questions every political convention imaginable, but in a funny way."

BBC Two Controller Janice Hadlow says she is delighted to welcome it back, "A new Coalition government, what better time for a new series of The Thick Of It?"

Head of Comedy Mark Freeland is excited to see The Thick Of It return too - "No other show could coin the term 'Omnishambles' and see it become part of the political lexicon."

Making The Matt Lucas Awards

Ashley Blaker, series producer, co-creator & co-writer of The Matt Lucas Awards stopped by Comedy Towers to talk to us about making the final episode of series one.

Everyone was very excited about making this episode of The Matt Lucas Awards and there was a fun end-of-term feel around the studio. For starters it was the final recording of an incredibly intense period that should have carried a government health warning. We were also really looking forward to having Ruth Jones, David Baddiel and Griff Rhys Jones on since not only are they three really funny people, but they are also seldom seen on other comedy chat shows so we were thrilled they'd agreed to do this.

A few days before filming, the final Lucas was going to be Most Baffling Song and of course everyone would have to perform their nomination. However, locked in my office at Television Centre at around 2:30am - high on chocolate and processed food - Matt and I agreed we'd already had people singing and wanted to do something a bit different. So we changed the award to 'Most Baffling Campfire Song' and decided we'd like to build an actual campfire in the studio and get everyone to sit around it chatting and singing with the lights turned down. I'm sure the Health and Safety people were tearing their hair out, but credit to our amazing art department and in particular Production Designer Dennis De Groot who made it all happen.

A reason for personal excitement was also the fact that we managed to track down our former swimming teacher Mr Keith Talbot. The first award is the Lucas for School Subject Most Likely To Induce Severe Depression and David Baddiel - who went to the same school as both Matt and myself - nominated swimming. So it seemed only fair that the man who depressed David all those years ago should have the right to reply!

We asked fans of the show to send in their questions about The Matt Lucas Awards for Ashley to answer:

Who was Ashley's favourite guest/anecdote?
Favourite guest is a tough one. We really were blessed with having great guests who got into the spirit of the show and were happy to sing, perform magic tricks, eat cakes, perform gangster raps, wear silly wigs and anything else we asked them to do. So forgive me if I don't annoy 17 guests by picking one favourite.

One of my favourite anecdotes was one we didn't have time to hear in the end. In the recording of episode four we had a Lucas for Most Embarrassing Item of Clothing Ever Seen In A Guest's Wardrobe and Johnny Vegas told a story about how he wasted his first ever student grant cheque on a poncho in Camden Market. We brought out models wearing all the nominations but in Johnny's case it was a very large woman and when she appeared it was a very funny moment. Sadly there just wasn't time to have it in the final show.

What are the possible pitfalls of transferring a comedy from radio to TV? How have you avoided them?
That's a good question. On the one hand you run the risk of pointing a camera at the exact same show and having people criticise you for just making a radio show on TV. On the other hand, if you change too much you run the risk of ruining the show and losing what was good about it in the first place.

I'm sure there will be people who say they preferred the show on radio just as I know others who have told me they prefer the TV version. I think one needs to view them as quite distinct entities because there are things that we can do in one medium that we can't do in the other.

Where do you get all the sofas from?
Why? Do you want to buy one? Our Art Department did a great job on the set and in the weeks before filming they would constantly show us photos of sofas they had seen to find out if we liked them. They seem to be able to find anything although I genuinely have no idea where they get all this stuff. If we ask them for twenty 1970s annuals for a shelf they seem to magically appear.

Would you ever consider making it more spontaneous where for example the audience could shout out categories and the panel would then have to come up with things on the spot?
Absolutely, why not? Hang on, if we do that now you're going to say it was your idea!

Make sure you tune into the final episode of series one of The Matt Lucas Awards on Tuesday 15th May at 10.35pm on BBC One. There will also be a compilation episode on Tuesday 22nd May.

Obama Administration Frames Assad As Excuse For Sending US Arms To Al Qaeda Rebels
When Obama started feeding the bloodlust of Syria's rebels with U S Armaments shipped via Turkey he must have thought the overthrow of Assad, demanded by his Islamic paymasters, a foregone conclusion.

Barack Obama, President of the United States of America, the land of the free, defends corporate fascism, even when it threatens the future of western civilisation.

The science tits, The Watermelons (green on the outside, red on the inside) and even the raffia mafia are happy to talk about Carbon Dioxide but nobody wants to talk about the biggest threat to human civilization, overpopulation.

No Good Deed Should Go Unpunished
The politically correct way to deal with bullying. Bullying is a horrible thing many of us are subjected to in childhood and some in adult life.

Globalisation, Misinformation, Deception, False Store Fronts ...
Enniskillen (pop 14,000) will shortly host a meeting of the G8 global economic forum.

Does New Obama Speech Signal The End Of Internet Freedom?

What Is All That Aid Money Really being Used For
The marketing hype accompanying wars becomes progressively more boring and predictable. Whenever a "coalition of the willing" of western governments and their rather unsavoury regional allies deploys military intervention, it is certain the European Union will host or participate in a “donors’ conferenceâ€. These grotesque charades have become a feature Afghan campaign since 2001. When Gaza was bombed for three weeks in late 2008 and early 2009, the EU rushed...

He Who Controls The Food Controls The Universe.
A reference to Frank Herbert's Dune in the title, but this is not a fan piece.

Lies, Damned Lies and ... umm... Those Other Things ... oh yeah, statistics.
Were I able to muster the kind of blind faith Mr. Chivers and other "science" nerds place in statistics I would invest it in one of the traditional religions and at least be able to convince myself there is a chance of being resurrected into the life eternal. As it is, unlike Science fans who proclaim their atheism but have a zealots faith in science, I am a true sceptic...

Monsanto Owns The Life Reproducing Process Says U S CourtPoliticised Judges show bias in finding for the Corporate giant and helping advance its agenda to control the food supply.

And they say the food shopping list of all us ordinary punters in future will include Bread, Milk, Grubs, Beetles, Maggots, Locusts, Worms and Spiders.

The Jihad On Junk Food
You must have grown tired of all the wars governments are fighting. Not shooting wars (although the war on terror is war on an abstract concept) but war on smoking, war on drugs, war on crime, war on anti - social behaviour and the one they will never win, the war on alcohol. Government's must have grown tired too, or maybe
