Murder, She Wrote
I'm thinking of submitting a new script to revive this popular series. I have a good plot called;
The Case Of the Noxious Nebulizer
The action is centred around The Winter Gardens Blackpool, shortly after a Labour Party Conference has been held.
Basically, a politician (Dr Doreen) is doing a bit of work to help with her meagre wage situation and begins 'doing-in' various artistes. The motive for this is not quite clear, but Doreen had appeared in a film as a child actress, so a return to the stage could be the reason.
I'm currently working on a cast list and have so far come up with the following:
Dr Doreen..................................... Hazel Blears
Jessica Fletcher.......................... Lucy Meacock
Inspector Trubshaw.....................Laurence Llewelyn Bowen
The Puppeteer.............................. Peter Mandelson
The Mime....................................... Neil (I'm saying nowt) Turner
Billy and The Boys........................ B Barker & The Envoys
Amanda Thompson.......................Herself
Best Boy........................................ Victoria Beckham
Script Editor/Prompter.................WW's Mache
Ms Meacock's ensemble.............Primark
Costumes.......................................Monsieur Joseph-a-go-go Ince
Shoes by........................................Discount Daisies
Transport/chauffeurs...................Rent-a-Wreck Pemberton
Lighting..........................................Torben Merriott
Jessica Fletcher has been invited to stay with Amanda Thompson's family in the Pleasure Beach while she researches some fairground stuff for her latest book, which is incidentally based an an old Scooby Doo script.
Billy and the boys have just finished a Summer season at Pontins. They are a likable lot who have a few comedy moments, but are crucial to the plot. See films like Summer Holiday (Cliffy) and Every Day's a Holiday (Freddy & The Dreamers)

My job is so unbelievable. I'll try to sum it up by first telling you about the folks I work with:
(I can sense Ruddy Dicks excitement from here)
First, there is this supermodel wanna-be chick. Yeah, okay, she is pretty hot, but damn is she completely useless.
The girl is constantly fixing her hair or putting on make-up.
She is extremely self-centred and has never once considered the needs or wants of anyone but herself.
She is as dumb as a box of rocks, and I still find it surprising that she has enough brain power to continue to breathe.
The next chick is completely the opposite. She might even be one of the smartest people on the planet.
Her career opportunities are endless, and yet she is here with us. She is a zero on a scale of 1 to 10.
I'm not sure she even showers, much less shaves her "womanly" parts. I think she might be a lesbian, because every time we drive by the hardware store she moans like a cat in heat.
But the jewel in the crown has got to be the stoner. This guy is more than just your average pothead. In fact, he is baked before he comes to work, during work, and I'm sure after work.
He probably hasn't been sober any time in the last ten years, and he's only 22.
He dresses like a beatnik throwback from the 1960's, and to make things worse, he brings his big dog to work.
Every day I have to look at this huge Great Dane walk around half-stoned from the second-hand smoke.
Hell, sometimes I even think it's trying to talk with its constant bellowing. Also, both of them are constantly hungry, requiring multiple stops to McDonald's and Burger King, every single day.
Anyway, I drive these Wastrels around in my van and we solve mysteries and stuff.

I suppose that's a good enough excuse for your naughty resurrection.
Could I tempt you with another role.
Replied: 14th Jul 2013 at 16:53
That Dustaf sounded like a great laugh, everyone seems to be very happy then. Possibly because there are no nasty comments or interruptions by those just looking to cause bother.
Replied: 19th Nov 2020 at 11:47
A good read, some funny people then.

Well done to Arfur in taking up the baton (sounds painful) of entertainments manager for WW.

Tis a honour indeed to be mentioned in dispatches and to be given a chance to cheer the members of the messageboard up holding a Christmas Nativity/panto was a commission I could not refuse but to be thought of as a contender to take up Dustaf's baton is a goal a thousand miles from where I am now , He was a superstar ( so I am told) on this messageboard and a irreplaceable asset,
