Reminds me to muse over some more #CelebritySitcomReboot ideas.
Both these classics were a part of my silly #CelebritySitcomReboot thingummy. After a fashion.
Romantic introvert #RupertEverett is in a flatshare with gregarious but uncertain-in-love #MadonnaCiccone.
In an effort to cure their crippling social phobias / faux pas' they create their own jelly bear-shaped edibles & decide to set up their own headshop in #GummiGummiGummi
#CelebritySitcomReboot
OK quite a simple, droll #CelebritySitcomReboot idea.
Living in dilapidated student digs & struggling to clothe & feed themselves adequately, anarchic housemates Mick, Ronnie, Keith & Charlie experience young love, talking rats, police oppression & the odd out-of-body-experience in
#TheYoungOnce
You can click on this #CelebritySitcomReboot if you like. Saves you typing.
Simple comedic production punt involving high levels of sarcastic faint praise, cursing & hussling.
#WhateverHappenedToTheBurnageLads
Starring #Oasis' Gallagher brothers & their beyond-glamourous, post-90s cocaine, tabloid & OK magazine trophy wives.
Dealing with mundane life.
#CelebritySitcomReboot
"Last of the Velvet Goldmine" If #ToddHaynes is interested in a directing a very provincially based, #ArtJoke of a #CelebritySitcomReboot
Perhaps on #Netflix or perhaps, more realistically, on late night #PublicServiceRadio
So I've another #CelebritySitcomReboot idea to air.
#ChristopherWalken & #GraceJones reprise their roles as evil super-brain Max Zorin & ruthless assassin Mayday from the (disappointing) James Bond film #AViewToAKill to star as Frank & Betty Spencer in
#SomeNaziScientistsDoAveEm
#OohMayday
"Has anyone seen my..."
"oh, for the last time Candy, darling. No one is ever going to see *your* pussy!"
*sigh*
"Just Walk! Away! From! Me! Would you, sugar!?"
#CelebritySitcomReboot
So I have another #CelebritySitcomReboot idea to punt.
We relocate the fictional Grace Brothers Department Store setting of "Are You Being Served?" to Andy Warhol's Late Sixties tinfoil smothered #Factory Art Lab club scene maker space.
Working Title is "Are You Happening Now?"
#YouHaveBeenWatching
To clarify, I don't mean stick some celeb in a sitcom & re-run the old scripts.
I mean f.eks 'Last of The Summer Wine' based in contemporary New York with aspects of rock history reminisced over whilst lusting after an ageing Debbie Harry who wants none of it.
So #CelebritySitcomReboot
I haven't seen many #LongThreads on bluesky driven by a #StupidIdea & a #Hashtag (is @quantick.bsky.social holding back or just busy writing?)
Anyway, I'll give it a whirl.
#CelebritySitcomReboot
Reboot 'Last of the Summer Wine' with David Bowie, Lou Reed & Iggy Pop
