With the imminent release of Rose Matefeo’s brand new romcom Starstruck on BBC Three at the end of April, this coming year marks a watershed moment in broadcasting history with most BBC Three comedy either starring, written by or created by women. BBC Three will be the first UK channel to achieve this landmark in female representation with 58% of long-form scripted comedy written by women.
Upcoming titles include Lazy Susan, Starstruck and Ellie and Natasia plus the second series of both In My Skin and Back to Life.
In addition to this, the BBC today announces four new BBC Comedy Slices for BBC Three, all of which are written by and/or star female talent: Ladybaby, Amicable, Dinosaur and Britney, which results in the majority of comedy programmes on BBC Three now being female led.
Kate Daughton, outgoing Head of Comedy at the BBC, says: “Building on the huge success of Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Daisy May Cooper, this marks a monumental achievement and is testament to the fact the most pioneering and exciting new voices in comedy are increasingly female.”
Kate leaves the Comedy Commissioning team today having made a tremendous impact overseeing a raft of female first titles. Since Kate’s arrival in 2017 she has commissioned and nurtured Fleabag, Mum, Ghosts, Gavin & Stacey: Christmas Special (2019), This Time With Alan Partridge, Back to Life, The Goes Wrong Show, Out of Her Mind, Two Doors Down, In My Skin and Man Like Mobeen. Alongside the forthcoming Witchfinder, Alma’s Not Normal and Stephen Merchant series The Offenders (w/t).
Shane Allen, Director of BBC Comedy, says: “Five years ago there were still articles asking where all the funny women were. That hoary old nonsense can finally be dispensed with once and for all. It’s a level playing field with the most vibrant and dynamic work coming through from females writers and writer performers who are elevating the art form of comedy and expanding its horizons. As for Kate Daughton, no longer will she curse at me for loud sneezing in the office. Partly because she’s leaving and mostly because we’ve not been in the office. Truly bereft; in denial that she’s off and we’re lucky to have had her for so long.”
Charlotte Moore, Chief Content Officer, says: “Kate’s impeccable taste, whip smart comedy brain and beguiling ways with talent have had a transformative impact on the comedy output in her time here. The fact that BBC Three can claim to be the first UK channel with a majority of female led and written scripted comedy is in large part down to her vision and passion for backing genre defining female creatives. She’ll be sorely missed but thankfully leaves behind a terrific legacy of shows ahead.”
I be there for U
作为一个爱刷剧的混子，其实post-friends era仍然看了很多主演们的作品。Rachel自不必说，Ross演了卡戴珊她爸，Joey在sitcom里演起了老爸有招，Chandler在傲骨贤妻里当反派。重聚之时颇为唏嘘，我更想看的是六个人的故事，被华纳和HBO MAX搞成了噱头大于内容，一堆明星来宣讲。情怀之人觉得不够情怀，凌乱的100分钟。
官方你敢不敢放全辑出来，为什么删减了那么多！
从Ross重新踏进熟悉的布景时，我就开始哭，看他们互相调侃，谈到以前搞笑片段，又开始笑。结局已经很圆满了，留下点余地，一点遐想，你们就这样坐着聊聊天值得五星。所以剧里骨折打绷带，初吻，怀孕都是真的。
青春是什么？我们拍了那么多校园青春片，最后还不如人家五岁孩子给出的答案明白。
剧是想起来就会觉得非常好的事，重聚印证了这么好的事在生活里也是存在的，简直是好上加好，太完美了。
「I'll be thereeeeeee fooooooor youuuuuu~」
I just love those guys!
老友迷才懂的无法言说的感动，看完感觉要再去刷一遍老友记了
怀念那个没有屏幕手机和新冠的年代。这次特辑中间有一段剧粉采访真的说到我心上了，每当抑郁难受的时候，只要打开老友记，就会不由自主地微笑，“this show saved my life.”(等飞机这一段时间我也是打开老友记听着我的这几个美国老友聊天和那些背景罐头笑声……）
看到钱和Joey，想到以后当我50岁的时候一定不能胖，胖太显老了。看到菲比，我要现在就开始保养，同时保持好心态，这样在年老的时候，状态依然很好。看到ross，我绝对不抽烟不喝酒，这样几十年后，即使样子变化了，嗓音依然是年轻的样子。哈哈，但愿等我50岁后，能再回来评论。
能感觉到演员们彼此并不是那么close的朋友，也并不像观众一样那么留恋过去那段时光。但仍然是很美好的呀，Friends就是美好的呀！
十年老友记，而距离我看老友记也快十年了~
好久没有一个电影或纪录片能让我看得这么开心，更没有哪个电影让我笑得泪流满面。为这六个人开心，为自己在北京的十年开心。
刚上大学那一年看的，满满都是回忆。ps就这么人畜无害的重聚节目居然也被平台删减，手里拿着正版却不干人事。
虽然没有任何实质性内容，但情怀这东西就是那么感性。看到六人团聚实在太美好了。
他们只要聚在一起，即便生分了不少回忆却全都被激活了。再美的秀终会落幕，庆幸欷歔泪流满面的你我也都在其中呵。
具体感受真讲不出…看了剧自然就体会到…但在我个人看来老友记最牛逼的是 它自打诞生至今 从来就没有“过时”一说 无论是服装 笑点、价值观 就…它似乎一直在流行文化的前沿 不断吸引着人们称为它的“门徒”
社会议题、本格推理、青春热血，要啥有啥，原来蜡笔小新剧场版这么厉害
I knew it！！我就知道第一季的时候大卫和詹妮弗互相喜欢，气场都和别人不！一！样！
