Extremely important online petition

The future of television is here, and its name is Starkey and Hutch.

The proposed plan for the show, and the petition to get it started, can be found here. In a nutshell, historian Dr David Starkey uses esoteric methods to travel in time to right the wrongs of history, guided by the ghost of INXS singer Michael Hutchence (who only Dr Starkey can see).

Please sign the petition to ensure this visionary show gets made.

Signed THAT motherfucker.

Maybe once this happens "Dahmer and Greg" will finally get the green light. Or possibly my new US treatment of The Good Life where Tom and Barbara are white supremacist survivalists.

Nice one people! We can make a dream come true!

I'll see your treatment for Dahmer and Greg and raise you Stavros and Davros.

Whilst Dr Starkey refuses to return my telephone calls, and the estate of Michael Hutchence claim that they are already developing a TV show about the life of the deceased frontman that shares many of the subtler themes and also quite a lot of the actual overt elements of our pilot, we at Bigger Boat have received an unsolicited request for an audition for the part of the good Doctor.

The communication, by fax, from David Caruso's agent, simply read "I am Starkey" and provided the URL to

His online audition tape

We're still holding out for Starkers. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Oh, and "Dahmer and Greg" - that's just genius.

DAVROS AND DAVRO - One's from another planet, the other's the genocidal creator of the Daleks!



"Bobby, did you oil all my guns like I asked you to?"




"Oil all your guns? I thought you wanted me to spoil all your fun! I've called off the extermination of the human race you'd planned for this afternoon!"




"DAVROOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

David Starkey's clipped and aristocratic delivery gave me one of my favourite mishearings. My chums misheard him in the same way, so I am not just filthy minded. Starkey on the Virgin Queen:

'The Bishop of [somewhere or other] stayed up all night warning Elizabeth of the trials of marriage, the dangers of childbirth. In the morning, she called off her engagement. What a cunt.'

My chums and I choke on our biscuits. Starkey ploughs on:

'...ed for this change of mind, we may never know.'

He needs more scope for this kind of thing.
