    Firstly bear with me as I'm not trawling through Boards to find specifics. TL,DR merchants - Go No Further!!!

    But let me tell you a story fellow boardsies. Tonight (27.01.11) was the first time I seen RAW on RTE1.

    Cut my legs off and call me shorty, what a fantastic show. I don't know what happened before this and if I never see another episode I don't care. Those of you who are regulars fans and have discussed at lenght before, SORRY, but still I don't care. Yes I am a Johnny-Come-Lately but I swore RTE could never commission/broadcast a decent TV series. RAW tonight to me was the equivilent of 6 years of Fair City rolled up into one episode.

    Unfortunatley, I'm not a regular TV viewer (see Fair City ref). I half liked the couple of episodes of Pure Mule and Batchelors Walk. But out of these three shows in :confused: years, where's the other €120 of my €160 fee going to ??? (seeing as RTE swear the licence fee is for home grown programs).

    This episode has so renewed my interest, I'm setting up a brain trust. Collectively we have to be able to come up with the guts of a brand span new show for pitching to the execs.

    Post Short Plot Description/Scene Change or Location, Characters, and Dialogue. May I......

    Pan across landscape to the edge of a lake in Countryside. A car sits in its car park with two occupants. Robbie and Alison look around nervously, the hot day only exacerbating the heat inside the car and their inability to roll down the windows because of the back seat cargo. The mobile phone breaks the silence startling Robbie.

    ALISON : Jesus Christ, will you calm down you freak. Answers mobile

    Cut to office with cityscape in the background. A tall, well dressed man is on the phone.

    OLLIE : You took you time answering, what the fcuk is wrong???

    ALISON : It's Robbie, she got to him before me

    OLLIE : I thought the he was surrounded by Guards, and what was with the Tayto on the telly when he was speaking?

    ALISON : That was meant to be the distraction we talked about whilst the job was happening. But it didn't happen did it.... you've betrayed us...


    Go mad, feel free to restart, I'll come back and edit into an intelligble script if this takes off (took me ages with the italics and sh1t so ignore them if you want)
