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.”
特别适合这两天疫情和空难的背景下观看，感受善意，寻求治愈。"Tonight we honored what we lost, but we also commemorate what found."
Me and the sky入坑的，其实除了这首其他的音乐很少，可以算是音乐最少的音乐剧了（不是）
12个演员完成全场，在如此众多的人物量之下，堪称完美调度！
@ Lodon Phoenix theatre
原来纽芬兰的英文是 Newfoundland，还真是简单直接呀
爱与共情，可赞的人类。像这样优秀的音乐剧可以多来点。
与《我们的小镇》有同种韵味。二十至三十分钟些许有重复和疲乏，为全剧唯一败笔。节奏接近顶级。总体接近完美，未来必将成为经典，不断流传。不过内容应该继续拓展
2001至2021，世界变了又好像没变。先不说这样的美式主旋律正能量和国内作品的立意高下问题，100分钟的舞台演绎中，完全打破了传统音乐剧的情节和幕次、空间与场景、台词与唱段的界限，让技术完全为艺术表达服务，就很赞！
剧本和音乐都好棒！一个很沉重的题材却一直通过场景转换来减轻大家的悲伤…加上个人的故事和小镇居民的爱心，最后看到眼睛湿润…
非常好看的精彩的舞台调度，演员们一人分尸多节，在角色中间的转换也特别棒，就是一切都很棒。
虽然是灾难让人们又一次共筑巴别塔，但是希望灾难过后，我们仍能如此……
天空比北极更为黑暗
去年初在现场看的时候就又哭又笑的，正值9·11二十周年，官摄上线，重温一遍我又是暴风哭泣。 这是一部相当优秀的群像剧，演员没有什么短板，剧情张弛有度，配乐和配器也很有意思。这群陌生人的相遇，虽说是因为一场改变了世界的悲剧，但却开出了善良温情的花。🥺
天下没有不散的筵席
可能这是我注定无法欣赏的一部音乐剧了，群像太多太杂随意转换，一直处在一种情绪很饱满激动的状态中。第二次坚持看到1/2又失败了… 唉，可能是我不懂欣赏吧。
这是人类互助的时刻，这是悲伤的时刻，这也是欣慰的时刻。
刚看的时候非常感动，演的也好，只是看了一个小时之后，被看字幕累坏了。这种形式还是应该在剧院欣赏
20年后的911，灾难带来的不仅是伤痛，还有那么多温暖人心的时刻。 me and the SKY我的人生女权曲目之一，太喜欢这个女机长的故事了。唯一遗憾的是2020另一场无情的灾难夺走了我进剧场看LIVE的机会，我恨呜呜呜
群像戏演得很好，很多主题，很正向，也很多泪点。人类的悲歌总会伴随着赞歌。
它没有明讲"9.11"——但所有观众都很容易猜出这个背景。然后从一个不被大众熟知的视角——38架飞机迫降的小镇去讲这件无人不知的历史大事。
