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.”
妈妈，你可不可以不要死。（情绪过渡有些硬，一直在等的那个演讲也没来
做人好难，做小孩好难。等终有一日理解大人处境时，又会有小孩让自己明白没长大的时候多不懂事，其实谁想懂事。
文化环境剧变带来的不适和切断，面对疾病和死亡的恐惧不安下家庭内部的dynamics和tension，都刻画得非常好。这种好不是那种像平齐波波头般工整对照的好，而是靠动人细节像碎一点的发尾一样，带着干净清爽的随意、点到为止的好。
我们总对于「更好」抱持着无穷的执念，其实殊不知这一刻的彼此已经是「最好」的存在。
点开拖进度条看了两眼，受不了：1.林嘉欣气若游丝躺在病床上问老公要不要买房（what？你们没买房就生了2个小孩？）；2.老公给小孩煮饭，小孩嫌难吃，老公生气——真的是烦死这种无能爹了，2022年了ball ball各位导演不要再描述男的的无能了，非要写的话请把他们统统写死
「在这个世界上，我最不想要成为的人是我的母亲，因为她的恐惧，会成为我的恐惧，而她的软弱，会使我软弱。」
自私的小孩与无助的大人 ( Ĭ ^ Ĭ ) 。电影拍得细腻又真实，而且催泪。。。
当青春期的少女遇到患乳腺癌的妈妈，当跨文化环境成长的女孩在不同校园环境中切换，当中年父亲面对身患癌症的妻子，…冲突和温馨交织的一家人，充满烟火气的普通生活。青春期的小女生角表演完美。
是的，一开始就是很“俗气”的因为是陈老师唱了片尾曲，才知道了这部电影。一直等啊等，希望北美能上映，最后还是在线上看到。说不出好在哪里，但感动尽在不言中。
就算这女编剧整个剧本写的全都是“刻板成见”四个字，也不见得比现在的会差到哪里去。
「來來來，來台大；去去去，去美國。」在對美好生活的嚮往、世代流行的洪流裡，站在這，你覺得那邊一定比較好，可是你不能去，你不去，才能解決這裡的問題。（摘自大象席地而坐）
sars时期的故事放在疫情时代上映很讨巧，但整体上缺点不少。家庭部分的矛盾与和解，总体过于平淡，没有看到人物内心转变的细节，也缺乏高潮段落；时代背景的体现过于符号化，流于表面；本应很重要的一块身份认同，也如短线风筝般没有下文。总的还说就是时代坐标模糊，又缺乏足够强大的人物内心力量，太过温吞、无趣
3.5 题材跟《瀑布》完全撞车，但水平算是等量齐观瑕瑜互见，相比起来还是钟孟宏更懂得利用视听构建氛围，阮凤仪主要还是依靠对白和吵架推动，前者有时候确实有点空泛，显得过于简单，后者能体现出它的复杂性，但又真的不太会（用国语）吵架，有时候顶不上去又很尬。既是跨文化之痛，也是新导演之痛吧。
3.5 可能过高期望在于她能把文化背景层次讲高深一点，我现在很少能吃进去有些温吞表达，也可能是太平淡了~
其实也都没什么大不了的矛盾。我说她妈妈怎么那么眼熟，片尾字幕出来才知道是林嘉欣，真的很久没怎么看她的电影了。
非常动人，几位小演员的表演非常好，作为导演第一部长片来说有很多值得学习的地方，尤其是那种人物虚焦的状态，反而突出了生活本身。但很遗憾的是导演想要的有些多，包括两种意识形态的冲突、宗教体系的差异，家庭中个人的故事展开，都没有能够交代，但瑕不掩瑜，很好
先看了《米纳里》再看的这部 觉得东亚的亲情都好苦 生活也很苦 虽然生活本来就苦 但怎么亲情都爱得这么苦啊 唉 中间有几场吵架太共情了看得我爆哭 但我为什么要因为吵架触动呢
东西方文化的冲突渗透到原本就支离破碎般的生活中衍生了各种看似无法调和却又真实发生在我们身边的不和谐，台湾的文艺和人文色调将这些冲突摁在了隐忍的泪与叹息中，这是儒家文化的共同性，每个人都在忍耐每个人都在承受每个人都在以为他人的名义考虑自我，这也是当下每个国人都有的痛点。阳台流泪的妈妈和楼梯哭泣的父亲两段戏很戳心。可即便各种虐心但生活还是要继续，不然还能怎样？这片子让我看到了经儒家文化熏陶后的人性的某种力度和弹性。
华人家庭的内核感觉放在任何社会背景讲的都是一样的故事，所以如果剔除疫情、患病、海外归国这些背景的话，剩下的一切，不知道是不是可以用李安在《喜宴》里唯一的一句台词来总结
人是慢慢学着长大的。
