    I actually thought tonights one was the best out of the 4. Enjoyable not LOL funny but nothing dreadfully bad in it. Actors all had confidence and the writing was good, the only problem with the sketches was they went on for too long and could have been cut shorter. I actually think the songs in that episode while too long are the best songs and music I have seen in a comedy show.

    I suppose RTÉ want to see how it works without any really advertising, hoping it is a sleeper show.

    In response to some people's naive views about irish comedy, myself and a few friends (all under 18) have written, filmed and produced our own comedy show, trying to break away from typical Irish and British comedy. please visit and let us know what you think. www.youtube.com/11shifts11 or www.bebo.com/11shifts11

    Should we respond? You should have put it up for Storyland. How is anything typical Irish comedy. I guess it isn't Monthy Python, Fawlty Towers, Only Fools, Reginal Perrin etc. :)

    Does being under 18 make you exempt from criticism? I think it needs work but I suppose ye are only a month of your 18th birthday so until then I will let you away with a warning: -

    GET READY TO BE ANNIHILATED ON BOARDS. :(

    but well done, the camera focus needs a bit of work as does the sound. Perhaps too many characters for 10mins and too many references to PS3 (I hope you got sponsorship from them :) ).

    Good to see you not introducing the characters rather letting them introduce themselves as the story :confused: goes on!

    Also the readybrek thing sound stupid.

    You're probably too young to remember 'Upwardly Mobile'.

    It was like a bunch of kids playing grown up. I don't see how it's breaking away from the norm to be honest it's your classic teenager first film everything is borrowed. The funniest bit was yerman pretend shaving, didn't it bring back memories.

    It's a start though keep at it, practice makes perfect and all that.

    Don't understand what song you're talking about? Genuine mistake if it is from that show. Like I said, our first time trying anything like this, we'll take any criticism on board! Don't agree that it's like a typical first-time movie, a lot of time was taken up by scripting, editing and filming from different angles, a lot of thought went into it. Keep an eye out for us in future, and let us know if we're improving or not.

    don't we will, did you get anyone outside the group to read the script? I know you can sent scripts to the BBC and they will give you feed back on them. It takes a few months but it might be worth sending it into them.
