Flying High

The pilot episode was thought of when we started talking about Charlie getting lost in the forest. Abi thought this idea would be great for the first episode. 


Episode one is probably the best in the series as we both wrote it, and they always turn out the best. We are really looking forward to filming it, as it will be fun to go to the forest and film, but we're not going to tell you to much about the episode, as that would just be mean! But a very important character in this series makes his first appearance in this episode and Jennifer and Bernie start to develop their characters and put that across to the audience. 


The Pilot episode sets the tone for the show and future episodes to come, so we've worked especially hard on this episode to make sure it's up to standard. 


(Hehe... I'm freaking Abi out, ohhhh happy days XD)


Here is a sneak preview of the episode:



BERNIE
WAIT!

JENNIFER
What?!

BERNIE
Some kid could have dropped that!

JENNIFER
You’re right.

Thanks kid, you’ve saved our lives.

BERNIE
WAIT, STOP!

JENNIFER
Ugh, what this time?

BERNIE
The kid might want it back!

JENNIFER
Oh, boo-hoo!

BERNIE
Yeah, but it could be a really little kid, who really wants it back, he might come and look for it.

JENNIFER
I’m sure his Mum will buy him another one!

BERNIE
Maybe we could lure him here with it, and then he can show us the way out.

JENNIFER
Bernie… it’s a kid, not a dog!

BERNIE
True.

We could take it to the lost and found!

JENNIFER
Yeah, we could take it to one of those lost and found places that give you ten days and if no one comes for it within that time you have it back, and then after the ten days we’ll be able to eat it.

Bernie is smiling and nodding while Jennifer is talking.

JENNIFER
Oh wait, one flaw with that plan.

BERNIE
What’s that?

JENNIFER
We’ll be dead.



AND THEN.

Oops. Sorry. We lost the rest of the script. Looks like you're going to have to wait until it's released =P

That's our personal favourite bit of the episode, so please comment and tell us what you think. We love it, and we think you will too!

We hope we have bored you immensely.

Come back soon for more craziness from Abi and Charlie xx

My 2 AM Inspiration... and How I Lost It...

A lot of writers come out at night. We're a lot like badgers. I slept all day today so I'm spending the entire evening feeling like I've just finished my 9th cup of expresso.

When I am like this, I find I get the most inspiration for episodes. Tonight, I got the best inspiration ever. Alas, there is one problem with my genius idea.

I forgot it.

I have been sat here at my flickering laptop screen now for the past 10 minutes trying to think of my idea. I really should write it down when I have an idea, then I won't be stuck in such a literature rut.

I would just like to say thank you to all the lovely reviewers on Link Referral.com that gave us such wonderful reviews for our blog. Even though we've only had it up since Tuesday it's been lovely to know you're all enjoying it :D

We have finally decided on the theme tune for the show, it's going to be Smash Mouth's All Star. It's a really fun song and we thought it would be fitting for the personalities of Jennifer and Bernie.

It's amazing, we came up with the idea for Me..and the Other One in December '09, and it's now April '10 and we are already on series 3! I think we are going to have to go through the episodes together and make some changes to some of the episodes, because you're never finished re-writing, there is always something not quite right. I was reading Episode 2 of Series 2 today, the second series is probably the one I most looking forward to filming. Now, I know what you are thinking, 'Are we ever going to get to see the show?' Yes, you are. We have not set a date for filming yet, as many things are happening in our personal lives, but once we have filmed a couple of episodes, we will have them up on the website for you all to enjoy. Of course you have to be a member to watch the show, so sign up now while it's free!

I better go now and stop boring you all.

Have a good night/morning/afternoon!

The idea...

Me and Charlie first came up with an idea for a TV show in January 2009, but this was not Me... and The Other One. This was our original show called 'The Casebook Of Alisha and Daisy' I was meant to play Alisha and Daisy was played by Charlie. This show was a crime show, and at first, writing a crime show was fun, but we stopped being able to come up with different ideas. 

This is why we changed our minds and decided to write a comedy show! With Me... and The Other One you could never properly run out of ideas. I mean if you wanted to write about Bernie running through a forest screaming "BOOYEAH!" then you can, unlike a crime show.

Things happen in this show that could not have happened in 'The Casebook' so I'm glad we changed it and are now writing Me... and The Other One. Although, you will be able to see a little bit of what we wrote in The Casebook in the specials we are having from series 2 onwards, but that's all I'm saying about that! 

Right now, I am trying to write down my idea for episode 18 while watching ER, but that isn't coming very well so I think i'm going to try something else! I think you will really enjoy Me... and The Other One just as much as me and Charlie are going to have when we film it. When we are filming, I will blog whenever I have a free minute so you can keep up with what we are doing, when we are doing it! I hope you have fun reading and please come back! 

Thanks so much, check back again soon and have a nice day!

Okay so this post isn't exactly about the show, sorry viewers, but I just couldn't not show you my cute little dog, Lilo, in action today.

All About the Other One

Being a writer isn't easy. Especially when you are a script writer. You're constantly being pushed for new material, soon your work becomes dry and un-original. You lose your touch. You then lose your job and are left packing bags in ASDA.

That's why I think it's important for writers to take breaks from their chosen subjects. Obviously I don't mean stop writing completely, writers need to practice everyday. What I mean is, if for example you are writing a book abd you are having trouble thinking of ideas, stop writing the book for two weeks. Don't read it, don't add anything to it. Stay away from it. After two weeks you can go look at it again with an open mind. When re-Reading your piece, questions are running through your head, "why on earth did I put that?!" and more. 

Why am I telling you all this? Well I've become like a drought, as far as writing "Me and the Other One". So I've had to stop writing it, I'm not going to look at any episodes we've written for two weeks. It's been a week, and I'm struggling. I'm dieing to go and look, start writing the show again but I just can't allow myself to.

So I was meant to tell you about my ideas for new episodes in today's blog but I can't. So instead, I will tell you about my character, Bernie.

Bernie Anne Totoula is a 17 year old girl who lives with her best friend Jennifer. How they formed their friendship is beyond me, they seem so different yet so simular all at the same time. How Bernie lives with Jennifer is beyond the human mind, (I apologise in advance, I will talk about the characters as real people and place them in real situations) it's not like I don't like Jennifer as a character, I just find her a bit forward. Not that being forward is a bad thing, I thi k it's good to be able to speak your mind in certain situations but not all the time...

I'm looking forward to filming the first series, it consists of six episodes, like a lot of british shows, and all last over thirty minutes. I will of course be blogging about everything that goes on. I will be telling you what's happening during read throughs, rehearsals, filming and during the editing period. So of course I would sign up for a RSS Feed if you want to be kept in the know about that's happening. 

I should really let my associate, Abi do some talking. The problem is you might not be able to shut her up :P Although it's the same problem with me. 

Thanks for reading! Charlie x  

The Other One and Me

'What is Me and the Other One?' I hear you ask? Well, it is a show all about Jennifer and Bernie, two seventeen year olds in the 22nd Century. Yes, that’s right, the 22nd Century! 'Who are Jennifer and Bernie?' I also hear you ask, well, they are the main characters of this show… and this blog!

"This show is filled with situations that will make the audience laugh, cry and sometimes make you want to go "NO, WHY'D YOU DO THAT?" But before we get to that, here are a few things about our characters!"

"Jennifer (Me) is played by Abi. Jennifer is a cool and confident character, always trying to play tricks on her friends. Bernie (The Other One) is played by Charlie. She is the so called 'calm' one of the pair and is always trying to keep Jennifer out of trouble, taking the mother role of the show."

'So what will you be blogging about?' I hear you ask. Well, we'll be blogging about everything to do with the show.We'll be blogging while trying to come up with ideas, while we're writing episodes, doing read-throughs and while we're on the set! So you can expect a lot of blogs to come!

We might even ask you for advice and ideas! Stay tuned! Abi & Charlie x
