TV Ninny Series
I'm currently working on a number of TV projects, that I'm quite excited about. I think you will be too:
First there's my series about a private detective that lives in a mobile home near the beach in LA. Generally he gets roughed up once per episode, has a lot of shady friends in the past that he can't refuse a favour to, that generally wind up causing him a lot of hassle. Many of these cases relate to dairy products and cheese related incidents. It's going to be called the Roquefort Files.
Then there's my new hard hitting gritty New York crime drama, about the crack squad of elite New York detectives who solve the nastiest and the grimmest of the 5 borough's brutal large vehicular related crimes. That's going to be called Law & Order: SUV.
Following on the insatiable public appetite for hospital programs, I'm working on an idea set in the Accident and Emergency room of a major hospital in Leeds, in the UK. In this one we see the complicated and inevitable sequence of events that lead up to each and every accident, getting involved in the lives of the people, and of course the lives of the A&E department staff. In particular, we'll be focussing on the sequence of events that go into each and every accident. That's going to be called "Causality".
Also, there's a new series which is a remake of an old one. Starring Edward Woodward, it's about a lone knight in a gritty modern urban setting, who, if you're lucky, you may be able to get a hold of to resolve some problem you have. He usually does this by making extremely articulate speeches at key moments in the show. The working title for this one is "The Eloquiser".
On a lighter note, going for the comdic angle, I have an idea for a laid back, relaxed sitcom set in the A&E department of a major hospital where the only thing anyone does is sit around and consume hearty beverages while disparaging patients and colleages. That's going to be called "Casual Tea".
Move over reality TV, the new wave is approaching.
