With the imminent release of Rose Matefeo’s brand new romcom Starstruck on BBC Three at the end of April, this coming year marks a watershed moment in broadcasting history with most BBC Three comedy either starring, written by or created by women. BBC Three will be the first UK channel to achieve this landmark in female representation with 58% of long-form scripted comedy written by women.
Upcoming titles include Lazy Susan, Starstruck and Ellie and Natasia plus the second series of both In My Skin and Back to Life.
In addition to this, the BBC today announces four new BBC Comedy Slices for BBC Three, all of which are written by and/or star female talent: Ladybaby, Amicable, Dinosaur and Britney, which results in the majority of comedy programmes on BBC Three now being female led.
Kate Daughton, outgoing Head of Comedy at the BBC, says: “Building on the huge success of Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Daisy May Cooper, this marks a monumental achievement and is testament to the fact the most pioneering and exciting new voices in comedy are increasingly female.”
Kate leaves the Comedy Commissioning team today having made a tremendous impact overseeing a raft of female first titles. Since Kate’s arrival in 2017 she has commissioned and nurtured Fleabag, Mum, Ghosts, Gavin & Stacey: Christmas Special (2019), This Time With Alan Partridge, Back to Life, The Goes Wrong Show, Out of Her Mind, Two Doors Down, In My Skin and Man Like Mobeen. Alongside the forthcoming Witchfinder, Alma’s Not Normal and Stephen Merchant series The Offenders (w/t).
Shane Allen, Director of BBC Comedy, says: “Five years ago there were still articles asking where all the funny women were. That hoary old nonsense can finally be dispensed with once and for all. It’s a level playing field with the most vibrant and dynamic work coming through from females writers and writer performers who are elevating the art form of comedy and expanding its horizons. As for Kate Daughton, no longer will she curse at me for loud sneezing in the office. Partly because she’s leaving and mostly because we’ve not been in the office. Truly bereft; in denial that she’s off and we’re lucky to have had her for so long.”
Charlotte Moore, Chief Content Officer, says: “Kate’s impeccable taste, whip smart comedy brain and beguiling ways with talent have had a transformative impact on the comedy output in her time here. The fact that BBC Three can claim to be the first UK channel with a majority of female led and written scripted comedy is in large part down to her vision and passion for backing genre defining female creatives. She’ll be sorely missed but thankfully leaves behind a terrific legacy of shows ahead.”
This is how people cure themselves from disasters
让灾难从一个抽象的事件变成一个可以触摸容易共情的事件
爱，让世界更美好。Be together.
We honor what we lost,we also commemorate what we found.
7年后的911，大雨堵车，我没赶上美联航的飞机
在恐怖主义袭击全球的环境中，来自一个陌生小镇的温情和善良简直让人倍感温馨动容，人性多么糟糕，人性又是多么美好。20年后，在全球矛盾越发冲突的当下，仍在疫情中挣扎的我们同样渴望着这样一抹来自远方的温暖，来自每个人的友好与关怀，尽力给别人带去力量吧。
911事件20周年官摄。芝麻切口的恢宏巨作，固定场景的万千变化，单时间线的犬牙交错。用相当简单的故事写实了打破国别民族宗教文化性别生物隔阂的大爱，编剧跪服。一想到这个故事在世界上真实发生过，不禁对人类多了一分信心。
哭傻了，the door’s always open in Newfoundland, welcome to the rock!
来看看，正能量的作品不是非要大家牵着手大喊口号的。
应该是看过没mark，挺真诚和愉悦的体验，忘了是女机长还是女镇长很帅气的面庞
戲劇節奏太好了，內容也很豐富，有溫情有恐懼有隔閡有反思，不同的人可以看到不同的東西。
精彩，演员表现力简直炸了。摄像巨清晰，就像身临其境一样
最感动的几个moment和唱段。他们铺起毯子开始祷告的一段。👮飞行员的唱段，Me and the Sky - Suddenly there's nothing in between me and the sky. ✈️ 返程飞机上的唱段，Somewhere in the middle of nowhere, you've found your heart and left a part of you behind. 💦 分别的唱段，Something’s missing. 👨🌾 岛民最后的唱段，Tonight we honor what was lost, but we also commemorate what we found.
看前半个小时的时候感觉特别惊艳，后面渐渐就有些腻乏了
挺煽情的，但不知道少了点什么总觉得不够打动人，可能是现在对于这种“对陌生人的慷慨和温情”已经充满了怀疑吧
灾难来临前的鸡毛蒜皮是生活的全部，人们活得恍恍惚惚、显得单纯幼稚。一旦灾难过境，人的善良、乐观和坚韧又常常爆发出惊人的能量。纽芬兰的这个小镇恰是如此。
So Canadian! 没能在多伦多看现场也要加入多伦多遗憾清单了。
剧情很棒歌也好听，没有刻意煽情真的太好了，真实事件下的人性光辉
北美人民真的好富裕好乐观。动人的旋律始终是百老汇成功的前提条件啊，滚去循环ost。
不过还是感到很新奇，因为对于舞台剧的艺术形式虽然了解不是很深、只是泛泛的看过一些音乐剧，但是经过前一阵子参与学校的一个话剧制作，对舞台剧这种形式多少也有了一点了解…所以对这部剧的整体构建模式很惊叹，原来只见过快速的场景变换，几个演员换个衣服、灯光变一下就是空间变换了，但是这种大规模的一人饰多角，在配合上频繁的剧情空间变化…真的是的十分大胆，十来个人感觉演了好几十个角色。
