  Speaker 2: I didn't warm up hard to beat that. I feel
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: like I'm in London.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think if I go watch Bridgerton first,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: it would.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Have been better.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Well, today I'm going to try to match brooks blokyism
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: and say that I'm from the BBC calling a woman
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: about a show idea that she pitched to the network
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: and somehow it ended up on my desk.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Well that sounds delightful, Jeffrey.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: It's all because of her friend who set her up.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: But you'll hear it your phone tap right now, Jeffrey's.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Phone taps on the twenties. Hello.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Hello, is this Alona?
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Yes? This is she.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: My My name is Crispin Featherwick. I'm a network executive
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: from the BBC.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Hello. How are you Chris?
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Then I'm quite well. Thanks for asking and you.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: I'm doing great. What can I do for you?
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: The reason for my call I saw a pitch for
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: a brilliant show come across my desk today and I
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: was like, whoa wait a tick, this is new, this
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: is innovative, and word got around. You were the creative
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: genius who hatched this idea.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Wow are you talking about time?
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a crime drama.
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: Yes, oh oh my gosh, wow, thank you, thank you
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: so much.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: Of course, now that being said, if we were to
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: move forward, we would like to make just a few changes.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Make it a ted bit edgier.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Okay, I mean you like.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: You like gritty some gritty shows.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I like gritty.
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: I was kind of hoping for this to be a
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: little bit more wholesome than gritty.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: But listen, Alana, sweetheart, I'm a network executive. I work
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: with a lot of projects, so I think I know
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: what's best, and personally, I would like to make a
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: change and think it's better suited as a musical crime sitcom,
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: A musical crime titcom, right, a humor music you canned
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: laughter That.
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: Is definitely a lot different than what I had in mind.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: A lot better, yeah.
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: Well, a definite tone shift.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Hum alon.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: Just imagine detectives solving crimes but through song and dance. Yeah,
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: not quite entertaining.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: Well that that may be entertaining, it's not quite really
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: even in the ballpark of what I've created.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: Right, it's an improvement, and he is the kicker. I
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: want all the suspects to be talking animals.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Okay, isn't it? How was that even?
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: We'll just picture in your mind a lama put into handcuffs, okay,
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: put them in the back of a cop car. You know,
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: he's a tall animal, so of course the officers have
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: pushed his head down into the vehicle.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: Oh, look, obviously I would really love for the script
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: to be optioned and the opportunity to work with you
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: and the BBC. I just I'm not sure that I
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: am so able to make the shift with this story,
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: with this script.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: What you're saying is you don't want the BBC to
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: purchase this turn it into a major show.
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: Please don't misunderstand. It's just that the framework of the
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: story doesn't quite lend itself there yet.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Well, the framework will work itself out. The concept is
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: what's most important here. Haven't you seen the Teenage Mutant
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Ninja Turtles?
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've I've.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: Seen the Ninja Turtle, you know, in that show there's
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: one bad guy. He's a rhino. His name's Bop. It
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: was quite popular, so now we're trying to make the
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: adult version of that.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: I'm open to two ideas and workshopping and making changes,
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: but what you are.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Pitching is is your problem because of the title, because
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: I have some other working options that I was considering.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: What do you think about Broadway in order? It's a
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: bit of a.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: Play on words there, excuse me that or cluetoons.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I just.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: Whiskers of justice. I'm just coming up with these off
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: the top of my head. Yeah, spitballing, as you Yankees
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: would say.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: I don't.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: So what do you say? Should we finalize a deal?
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Okay, look, I'm sorry, I just can you. I don't.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: It's perfect. We'll give it a go, and we'll tell
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: your friend Adam that we.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Approve My friend Adam.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Like Adam.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: He listens to a radio show called Brought Can Jeffrey
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: in the Morning, and he set you up for a
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: throne tap love.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: It's all a joke.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Oh my god. Well, I mean because I was trying so.
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: Hard to be polite, and I honestly thought this whole
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: thing was real.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Iron it's very real with low life animals being arrested
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: by singing human cops.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: That's right, they're human coppers.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: I forgot about human policemen arresting criminal animals.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Crime animals. Oh we have it, We have the new criminals.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: You know what, Good luck with that. Yak in Jeffrey's
