Charlie – indeed!

I have had worse knocks, for sure, but have learnt these last few years that this industry is inhabited by some quite dishonest folk.

I wont go into detail, but another series that cropped up about 18 months ago arose out of an off-the-cuff suggestion I made to a producer who was having a general discussion with me in his quest for ideas. I thought no more of it, especially since we both agreed (then) that “…it was a naff idea” and “would never work”. But I should have thought a little more of it. Imagine my surprise (I shouldn’t have been!) when the same production company came back to me months later saying “We have come up with this idea…..” Yep! You are ahead of me, I guess! The rest is history, and the series ran. I should have been involved, but a falling out left me telling them to Foxtrox Oscar, so to speak.

That said, I shouldn’t tar all with the same brush – by a long way.
