So the reviews are in and WE'RE A HIT!
"... fabulous, fabulous set..." Kirsty Wark
"... spectacle... " Robin Ince
"...
trying to tell you anything at all. It was super-... a laugh I
suppose... reminded me of the stuff from the eighties they had on
Channel 4..." John Harris
"... the set is good..." Oliver Kamm
"... not a complete waste of time... there was nothing new about it. BUT -..." Germaine Greer
Well
at least television's regained some of its mystique for me now. All
that Mitchell and Webb stuff had just made me cocky. But I'd love to
know what GG was going to say after that "BUT" before Kirsty Wark cut
her off to point out that the Enron show had sold out. She was spot on
about reading the "event" as the "organism Money", and had stuck her
tongue out at me in our Parliament so was clearly one of us. Also it was
enlightening to see Robin Ince
chance upon the perfect mind-set for enjoying the show; the only
question now is how do we get an audience that *haven't* missed the
first forty minutes to approach us in as good faith... Anyway, work
continues: 10am calls, a little less audience interaction, a lot more
cast interaction (which is jolly). And Lizzie's produced a fantastic
series of prints for the Institute upstairs now (see above) which may
just explain everything: the organism, on wheels, everywhere. We set
out. They've just turned the lights off. The machine's kicked in and
it's probably time to let our sixth audience pile in. My sister got it
anyway. Who knows what's out there? Oh, for anyone who enjoyed Disney's Magic Highway here's Disney's Life on Mars. Well, the visuals anyway, but you all like Techno, right?
