Wanna be a writer?...

Watch this and all the other parts. It's very good.

I was watching this when Katharine said; 'this just very clever men going on about how clever they are and they are clever, but...'

And so we switched off.

Yes, perhaps Katharine has a point. Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain of Peep Show were a bit smug at times too. But Russell T Davies and Graham Linehan were very honest, I thought, about the practicalities of their crazy jobs, and 'common man' Tony Jordan too - none of that trio descending into the pretentious writers' territory of trying to suggest it's all a dark and mysterious art, but just a lot of hard work that, at some point, requires you to sit down and actually write. It must be hard for them not to think they're clever. Not least because everyone's constantly telling them they are!
