Please tell me audio isn’t by phone anymore and everyone is no longer tripping over themselves to avoid interrupting each other, as though at a very nice Rosedale dinner party (“No— Sorry—“ “No, go ahead.†“No, I was just going to say—â€).
Charming as always, Joe. You were both rude and unable to articulate your argument in your appearance. I’d rather have polite with a point.
Enjoyed the first episode back, my first. Despite having acted in Vancouver and my interest in writing for film and television, I don’t pay nearly enough attention to the projects that are actually succeeding here. So, it’s nice to learn about all things new and noteworthy in Canadian television.
Hope to hear more about the creative aspects behind Canadian shows as well, if you’re able to provide insight: the show runners, the development process and network collaboration that resulted in the product on-screen. Also appreciate the comments on new and social media integration by the networks and studios.
I enjoyed your podcast. Great to hear people talking about Canadian TV. Great work on TV-eh, something that was really needed.
Just one question Diane, you mentioned watching Being Humand from BBC. How did you get access to that.
It’s something I’ve heard about, but couldn’t find a place to watch it.
Thanks Scott and Dan. Dan – the UK blu ray. But it’s being released on DVD here this month.
