Question and Answer time with the Producer

are you happy with the 3 episodes of the webseries we made for you?

I am happy with the improved quality through the 3 series but i am very dissapointed by the lack of keeping to deadlines. this would have caused a number of serious issues were this a commercial brief. the episodes were too long as well. the third episode was the right length.

after interviewing members of the audeince, they said that they liked the second episodes length which was 4.30. they said that episode 3 was too short. what are your thoughts on that?

i'm glad that the audience responded well to the length but i still believe that it could have been shorter. on television there's a specific slot for a series. if the slot was 30minutes, the episode couldn't have been any longer. i suppose online it's different because you don't have the specific time gaps.

do you like the idea of the series, the fact that it's in a detention room?

i think the concept is very strong and i have been very excited by the idea from the beginning. i feel the first episode did not do justice to the concept but the last episode has a much stronger appeal.

what didn't you like about the series?

the bad language and needless aggression in the first episode. i liked the fact that you changed the offensive language into more inventive expressions of rage for the other episodes.

what did you like about the series?

The title sequence is very good, both in terms of genre conventions and technical ability. the whip cutting was very effective. i enjoyed the more surreal elements of the third episode as well.

what did you think of the characters, and the acting?

i thought matt hornby's performance and character consistently amusing. the other acting improved over time.

we missed deadlines and the lengths of the episodes you werent happy with either, but what could we have done better?

communicated better and looked out for each other more to ensure everything was completed to time and to a high enough standard.

if we made a fourth episode, what would you like us to include, and how would you like us to go about it?

continue in the slightly surreal, mighty-boosh like direction you have begun to take.
