I am a big fan of this idea. I think of it as the Rod Serling Twilight Zone mode. It's a 30-minute show with two commercial breaks. The first part introduces the thing, the second part makes you think you know what is happening, and part three is a complete surprise. By the way, my wife and I are huge Lark Rise fans!
Ah, I was with you to the end there when you sprang a surprise. Unless you’re being so clever that I am now mansplaining, Lark Rise was by Bill Gallagher, not me, William. I did film a video for BBC/Radio Times of a Lark Rise cover shoot with all the cast, but that’s as close as I’ve come to that show.
You've commented in the past a few time about the show 'Lou Grant'. That was a favourite of mine when I was in high school. I could swear on a stack of bibles that they used the 3 part trick often - as well as quite a few other 70's and 80's drama series. I remember teaching my late husband to pay attention during the first 5 minutes of a show so he wouldn't be confused by the ending. 😂
I’ve been reading some Lou Grant scripts recently; all these years later and they still stand up so well. I am a writer because of that show. Although possibly also because I knew to pay attention at the start. I can only imagine how much more enjoyment your guy got out of TV drama after you’d shown him the error of his ways.
I was quite surprised to see iPads on sale at Walmart and Best Buy here in the states. So I got a base model iPad with no upgrades for $279. I'm officially an iPad writer now. I have a keychron q1 pro that I paired via Bluetooth quite nicely and I went on and got scrivener. Thank you for your wonderful videos about these fantastic products sir!
Same here. It’s delicious when it works. I want to tell you the name of a book where the ending made me gasp but that would rather spoil it, wouldn’t it?
Enjoyed that, thanks a lot for sharing.
I'm so pleased, thanks.

It's no surprise that it is Monday and that you are here...and so am I.
I see what you did there and I like it.

Oh! That’s excellent. I’m so pleased.
I was expecting some sort of surprise at the end of the video related to the clock on your iPad near you!
Curses, I didn't think of that.
“If you show a clapboard in scene one, ….”
You've made me think that I need to alter the opening chapter for Mince Pies a little.
Ulp. I didn't mean to do that. Tiptoes away quietly.
I like misdirection in writing. It’s something I’ve experimented with quite a bit and would like to get better at.

Fire away. I’ll suspend belief in the plot twist while reading.
Does the fact that I was totally expecting there to be an actual gun in the video make me a gimmicky writer ... or just an American?
You MISSED THE JOKE?
