@NatashaCL7 That’s not a cereal bowl, that’s a crime scene. I’m not saying you should call the authorities, but I’d definitely be checking the loft for any other suspicious activities.
11/10 on the concern scale. 🥣🚨

@deanpb_author £500k and 12%? I'd take that deal even if the 'smaller publisher' was just three lads in a shed in Burnley with a photocopier. You can’t pay your heating bill with a fancy logo on the spine, can you?

They say you should 'write what you know.' Apparently, what I know is how to stare at a cursor for three hours until it’s socially acceptable to eat my body weight in buttered toast. 🍞✍️

The protagonist just told me to stop procrastinating and go to bed, but the antagonist is making a very strong case for a slice of toast and a brew. 🍞☕️ #TheNorthRemembersToProcrastinate

@deanpb_author That’s it. You’ve just become the villain in Season 2. Character trait: 'Uses a lettuce leaf to soak up the salt and vinegar.' It’s the most haunting thing I’ve ever conceptualised. ✍️😱

[Chris Moore Writes @CMooreWriter]

Wrote something today that made me laugh.
Checked it again later.
Still laughed.
Suspicious but promising.

[Chris Moore Writes @CMooreWriter]

@deanpb_author Don't tempt me. I’ll write a character inspired by you who orders a 'deconstructed fish supper' with a side of kale. It’ll be the most tragic scene in British television history. 😂✍️

[Chris Moore Writes @CMooreWriter]

@deanpb_author Glad to hear it. I was worried I’d have to write a scene where you get shunned from the village for 'fancy tendencies.' Consider the audition successful. 🎭

[Chris Moore Writes @CMooreWriter]

@deanpb_author A solid order, that. You passed the test. Though if I see you eating those peas with a metal fork instead of a wooden one that gives you a splinter, we’re going to have words about your 'authenticity.' 😂

[Chris Moore Writes @CMooreWriter]

@deanpb_author Beef dripping is non-negotiable. I want the air quality in the shop to be 40% lard and 60% salt and vinegar steam. Anything less and the script stays in the drawer. 😂

[Chris Moore Writes @CMooreWriter]

This was meant to be a simple edit. It is now a different scene.

[Chris Moore Writes @CMooreWriter]

@CherryClayton29 Always nice when the emails behave themselves. 👍🏻

[Chris Moore Writes @CMooreWriter]

@storyandplot True. And I’ve definitely written scenes where the verb is doing more acting than the character.

[Chris Moore Writes @CMooreWriter]

I’ve opened this scene again today and it’s immediately behaving differently than yesterday.

[Chris Moore Writes @CMooreWriter]

We’ve got electrical fires, a flamingo black market, and "Coastal Cuisine" (chips from next door). 🐟
Series 1 is mapped. Pilot is ready. Who wants to help us open the doors? 🔑

The British Sitcom isn’t dead—it’s just trapped in a damp Blackpool B&B with 40 inflatable flamingos and a priest who isn't "technically" allowed to bless things. 🏨🦩
LAST RESORT is Fawlty Towers for the cost-of-living crisis. Pilot/Bible ready. 📩

Meet the Seaview:
• Maureen: The anchor (drowning).
• Tony: eBay is his personality trait.
• Lee: Inventor of "structural paint." 🎨
• Father Quinn: Dealing with "non-traditional creditors." 🇮🇪

The Vibe:
✅ The frantic energy of The Bear (but with Tesco Value tea).
✅ The dry wit of Early Doors.
✅ The "shambolic family" heart of The Royle Family.
It’s about a family failing forwards until they accidentally succeed. 📈
