Phoenix Nights is the hugely successful Channel 4 comedy series set in a Bolton working man`s club, starring multi-talented Peter Kaye. In these superlative scripts from both the first and second series, relive the comedy magic that has become the show`s trademark. Phoenix The Scripts is a true reflection of a show that has become one of the biggest comedy hits of recent years.
I haven't seen the TV show, so it was interesting to try to build a world just from the scripts. Shows what I know - I wouldn't have thought they would work. So much of TV humour is aural & visual. I did find them more effective by the end of the scripts, because I was tuning in to the world & the jokes.
An interesting lesson in just how different writing for TV is.
