TV in general - particuarly British TV - seems to be entering a terminal phase anyway. I used to want to do stuff at the BBC / ITV / C4 or whoever, but for me at least that impulse is completely gone.
Instead we have essentally empty signifiers of broadcasters, who wave around achievements made by previous generations as if the current lot were somehow also responsible. Broadcasting has changed from a medium that meant something - as compromised and broken as it could be - into what feels more like an absurdist scam.
They might not apparently want you Jen but I for one fuckin do want to see you conquer telly and be funny as fuck.
Not much I know but for what it's worth I’m a fan.
They're a buncha bullshits, as NY Jen might say.
Thanks Joe, I appreciate it.
Ps obviously not ignoring the hugely important wider systemic issue you rightly raise. It must get fucking exhausting.
