Pink Slip

  Happy first birthday to Pretend Freinds, Chloé Doherty's cavalcade of newly redundant imaginary friends, which went up on youtube a year ago today! Enjoy me yet again snivelling in a bad suit, and enjoy the toy-spangled couture of Anne-Sophie Cochevelou sported by a host of resting Crystal Maze Masters. I already explained why I have cars stuck in my ears back when we shot this in March 2021, so I can't imagine you'll have any further questions.

  Since this film was shot the vaccine rolled out of course, and the Crystal Maze reopened; however, our pay was now cut. But then raised. But then cut again. And when I emailed a strongly worded complaint (hate's a strong word, right?) to our brilliant and stretched Head of Actors I accidentally hit "reply all", the email went to those hated higher-ups, and that was me out of a job as well. Losing a job's horrible, isn't it? I never had imaginary friends as a child. I miss those guys. 
 Also since this film was shot, Anne-Sophie Cochevelou has found something to do with all those old lateral flow tests...
