Writer's blog: season 2, episode 8
By Gavin Strawhan
I thought this was a pretty good episode; very nicely
directed by the lovely, talented and slightly Amazonian Britta
Johnson who always manages to add that little bit more of comedy or
drama, without taking her eye off the story ball.
When we were storylining, I think the image of Kevin trapped under
the bed with his girlfriend rooting her husband above, captured our
interest quite early on. It seemed a great way to set up the
state of their relationship and capture a truth about the downside
of affairs.
It's kind of a satisfying shape to have Kevin's story start there
and then end where it does.
And this is the episode where Brad (although he denies it) realises
that he LIKES Britta. But she unwittingly spurns
him.
But anyway, on to the VERY IMPORTANT and EXCLUSIVE reveal of this
blog which is: the complete and unabridged content of Britta's list
of the attributes of her ideal man.
