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.”
在世界边缘的孤岛奏响人性力量的赞歌，人类应当对灾难保有一份共情，对善与爱怀揣一丝希望。Honor what was lost. Commemorate what was found.
“To celebrate the best of human spirit.”
二十周年，因疫情关停的十四个月，第一批重回百老汇的观众，和夭折的国内巡演...这一切都让人百感交集而在音乐响起那一刻落泪。即使在这样一个分裂的时代，也可以去相信人与生俱来的善意与爱的力量。Me and the sky依旧是最最最鼓舞人心的女性独唱
Tonight we honor what was lost, But we also commemorate what we found❤️
让灾难从一个抽象的事件变成一个可以触摸容易共情的事件
Tonight we honor what was lost But we also commemorate what we found
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！
官摄远远无法体现现场的魅力与观众视角的震撼 但弥补了所有的遗憾
第一次主动看音乐剧，我还不太会欣赏。将近两个小时的表演，从头到尾专注的看完，同时又要准确的理解其剧情，含义还是很有难度的。找时间再来追第二遍吧。整个情节十分流畅，人物剧情也很生动且活泼，就是美式幽默我还get不到。看来9.11将是美国无法抹去的哀伤。
太暖了。这不就是我们追求的真善美吗？没有国界，不分种族，忘掉仇恨恐惧偏见，互帮互助才是地球公民的美好愿景不是吗？真希望这个世界越来越温柔：无论你来自多么遥远的远方，诚心欢迎
911过后不得不临时停靠在一个小岛上的众多航班，7000多个乘客和9000多个小岛居民的相知相处故事。大难来临造就的意外邂逅，各种语言、宗教、文化，甚至物种的碰撞，很多幽默和感动。

铁幕搅动的半个世纪的疯狂历史，无解。
人类永远的命运共同体。爱与包容是黑暗中的光明会指引我们到底新的彼岸。疫情之后再看感受更深，我相信人性的善与美好会驱散心中的恶与隐瞒，这不就是人性之光嘛。
我们在窗边点亮蜡烛
来看看，正能量的作品不是非要大家牵着手大喊口号的。

刷了两遍，对照时局更加感慨，Prayer听得眼眶发热。几乎全程群像戏的剧本和舞台调度太好了。
