Does anyone know where they got the music from. I only ask because its very, very similar to the end credits on my comedy show.

Comedy show?

Yeah i do a Internet comedy show called The Danger Signs . Our writing group called missinghen do a few things and at the moment we are creating a new comedy called News at Then a time traveling news team reporting history in a modern style. Anyway this is a Danger signs episode, check out this .

That was great. My father and me love british comedy, sometimes we'll stay up late and watch Monty Python on tv. We also enjoy other british tv, we watching Top Gear since we're both car guys. And of course Doctor Who.

And I watched some of the other videos, Loved the Dalek with a hangover one.

Oh great mate thansk for watching the other shows. The Dalek hangover was great fun to do. Thats in my old flat, we did another sketch where we walked out the flat and went to go shopping. The looks we had from people, two men, a camera, a whisk and a toilet plunger. Unfortunatly we couldnt use it because when we came to edit it you could see our shadows briefly and ever the perfectionist we had to dump it. We've got a out-take (bloopers) episode coming soon.

And keep making those films, they're great and I love watching them.

Well Christmas for me involved running around dressed in various costumes and being rather cold. That means one thing, filming The Danger Signs.  We're doing two shows at once at the moment, the historical comedy news show News@Then and this show. We've had a bit of a break from The Danger Signs mainly to write new material and two because we two of us got married and one of us had a child. Now it looks like we're coming back with a new episode and a blooper episode.

I spend last week dressed as my own character Sir Ranulph Finds and we did three sketches with him, i then dressed up in a long wig and dress to play TV countdown hostess Carol Vorderman, a quick shave and i played another policeman and finally a bloke dressed in white advertising those irritating eye laser commercials we always get.

On New Years Eve (and slightly hungover from the night before) i donned my 1920's style anarchist out fit along with a false beard and moustache and then acted my socks off in a silent movie kind of way. All fun but blistering cold. My fellow MissingHen actors did there bits and we wrapped up for the day. We have quite a few more skits to film but as always I'll keep you up to date. The blooper show reel should be up in the middle of January.

Post by: Feathers on January 04, 2009, 08:43:30 AM
Meds does Carol Vorderman...

I'm not sure that that even bears thinking about! It could be hilarious or horrific with equal probability I suspect! ;)

Good stuff, just subscribed a little weird but cool.  how did you come up with Missing hen?  Have you been to our part of australia already if you have a friend here.  Is that robert dagda you are thinking of?  I see him down the local sometimes.
Title: Re: The Danger Signs
Post by: Meds on June 18, 2010, 04:39:53 AM
Well Missing Hen came from Birmingham University to start off with. Once Uni finished it disbanded but then Phil, Peter and Kerry decided to start again. I was friends with Peter and they knew I had wrote quite a lot of scripts and a small film and so I joined as a full time member Along with Phils girlfriend ( now wife) Helen. That was in 2006.

Oh I've been to Australia, mainly Brisbane and the Gold Coast but I did venture down to Sydney and drank quite a bit around the wine region.

Lyborne is very close to my heart, I always keep one eye open in that place.
