The extract sets up an intriguing combination of comedy and
the period genre; it mixes contemporary dialogue with
mediaeval sayings to good effect and tackles head-on the
question of social conventions in those rigid times (through the
preparation of Maude for marriage). This could lend itself to an
interesting satire of the conventions that remain in our current
society.
TREATMENT
The treatment does a good job of showcasing the writer’s wit
and the show’s comedic tone. It is very clear what they’re going
for, thanks to compelling references and a thought-out reflection
on why this show would be relevant to an audience (and what
kind of audience). Overall, the treatment is a passionate defence of
the series which makes us want to believe in it ...

Sounds interesting, Neil! Reminds me of Plebs or Norsemen. Good results from Rocliffe is a big achievement, congratulations! What are your plans for the show going forwards?

Thanks folks for your support and comments! I have done a staged reading of episode 1 which went well, but a trusted friend said it was two episodes, and they were right!! I have music ready to go which is excellent, but thanks for your offers. I will rewrite and then go about sending to producers in the UK and beyond. The aim is to normalise all
relationships by being funny!!

It's nice to meet you, Olivia Lavoie. A Medieval sitcom sounds like it'd be hilarious!
