Up early to go over the scripts again, correct them, print them, put the soundtrack together.
Met up with Emma for lunch and to go over the scripts at 3pm, we rehearsed a bit, went for a walk, rehearsed a bit more and got the tempo and feel right for the dialogue. Met up with our techies, Paul and Alan at 7, and then let the 'intimate' audience of 10 in at 7.30, and recorded the whole series 'live' in 2 hours before enjoying a little drink after to celebrate. Great recording tonight - lovely audience, scripts felt sharp, we were on cracking form and the results are great. I wrote these four episodes specifically for Emma and her 'young' ways and she was so on it...so much energy, fast dialogue, we had a real Pappy's vibe at times. A few people said after this was the best thing I've written...I agree entirely. It's just so easy when you find that formula. Em is off to the US for many months soon, but we're both very keen to do more when she's back next year, and probably a live show or something.
So, that's all good then. Nice to have a little radio/podcast series done. All my other projects are falling by the wayside, but I can worry about those another day, yeah?
