With the imminent release of Rose Matefeo’s brand new romcom Starstruck on BBC Three at the end of April, this coming year marks a watershed moment in broadcasting history with most BBC Three comedy either starring, written by or created by women. BBC Three will be the first UK channel to achieve this landmark in female representation with 58% of long-form scripted comedy written by women.
Upcoming titles include Lazy Susan, Starstruck and Ellie and Natasia plus the second series of both In My Skin and Back to Life.
In addition to this, the BBC today announces four new BBC Comedy Slices for BBC Three, all of which are written by and/or star female talent: Ladybaby, Amicable, Dinosaur and Britney, which results in the majority of comedy programmes on BBC Three now being female led.
Kate Daughton, outgoing Head of Comedy at the BBC, says: “Building on the huge success of Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Daisy May Cooper, this marks a monumental achievement and is testament to the fact the most pioneering and exciting new voices in comedy are increasingly female.”
Kate leaves the Comedy Commissioning team today having made a tremendous impact overseeing a raft of female first titles. Since Kate’s arrival in 2017 she has commissioned and nurtured Fleabag, Mum, Ghosts, Gavin & Stacey: Christmas Special (2019), This Time With Alan Partridge, Back to Life, The Goes Wrong Show, Out of Her Mind, Two Doors Down, In My Skin and Man Like Mobeen. Alongside the forthcoming Witchfinder, Alma’s Not Normal and Stephen Merchant series The Offenders (w/t).
Shane Allen, Director of BBC Comedy, says: “Five years ago there were still articles asking where all the funny women were. That hoary old nonsense can finally be dispensed with once and for all. It’s a level playing field with the most vibrant and dynamic work coming through from females writers and writer performers who are elevating the art form of comedy and expanding its horizons. As for Kate Daughton, no longer will she curse at me for loud sneezing in the office. Partly because she’s leaving and mostly because we’ve not been in the office. Truly bereft; in denial that she’s off and we’re lucky to have had her for so long.”
Charlotte Moore, Chief Content Officer, says: “Kate’s impeccable taste, whip smart comedy brain and beguiling ways with talent have had a transformative impact on the comedy output in her time here. The fact that BBC Three can claim to be the first UK channel with a majority of female led and written scripted comedy is in large part down to her vision and passion for backing genre defining female creatives. She’ll be sorely missed but thankfully leaves behind a terrific legacy of shows ahead.”
主题很小但拍的不错，林嘉欣是港台鼎盛时代末期的明星了，印象最深的就是她和学友的男人四十，这部电影里的表演恰到好处
有些用力过猛，陷入某种为冲突而争吵，激烈的情绪碾压让人窒息。在新冠时代再看非典时期仿佛一种时间的轮回。
Lady Bird讲，love and attention或许是一回事；“如果这已经是最好的我了呢？”
这个片子给我一个深刻的道理就是 没想好千万不要生小孩 否则会像女主那样 明明自己生病还差点被女儿气死 青春期的少男少女真的讲话气死人 他们待在固有的认知圈子里 完全出不去 讲不听 女主会癌症多半跟照顾小孩有关 老公还不在身边 那更加 难怪要组个家庭再生小孩 因为一个人是完全搞不定一个小孩的
这一家子的情绪都好不稳定，整个叙事匠气又不高级。全靠同行衬托，难怪《瀑布》都能拿大奖。
虽然有温暖愉快的部分，但互相折磨从来就是家庭生活中必不可少的……至少我们80后90初这代人，哪怕看看台湾的背景，也能想到很多自己的成长故事吧。谁不想回美国呢，我也想（
香蕉人很可怕，中二病也很可怕，香蕉加中二更是，唉
年纪大了真是看不得这种片子 因为知道短暂的温情前后全是无尽的琐碎与折磨 sigh
感觉比《瀑布》差好多，家庭的框支起来，结果不管是内里填的内容还是外在背景都表象化和程式化的。表现中式家庭的好电影太多了，这片虽然是导演亲身经历，演员表演也中规中矩，但仍然显得平庸。
2.5/瑣碎的家庭生活呈現已經讓我感到肉疼，但正因為劇目將舞台局限於家庭本身，關於疫病/東亞式教育/cultural shock/生死等問题才無法被真誠且有效的回應(/解答)。
75/100 在陷入以家庭为主域的内外冲突的莫比乌斯循环中留存了一丝和解，不仅是与他的，也有自我的
「這個世界上我最不想成為的人就是我的母親，因為她的恐懼會成為我的恐懼，而她的軟弱會使我軟弱。」有時候我們會一直想著自己最不想成為的那個人，但當你越想遠離，你就離它越近。當你試著去問自己他不討你喜歡的原因是什麼，會發現這種抗拒是不是源自於你下意識認同自己與他不可避免的、連體的鏡像關係。
三星半。时代背景与死亡的恐惧交叠，中美文化（意识形态）的拉锯。台湾电影的一大特点，就是所有议题都可以往家庭片里嵌套，属于是万能药。
做人好难，做小孩好难。等终有一日理解大人处境时，又会有小孩让自己明白没长大的时候多不懂事，其实谁想懂事。
在20年前的台湾，看得出普通的中产家庭想要维持一个光鲜的美国梦是有点吃力的。明明以为自己再够一够手就能达到了，却被一场疾病打回原形，妈妈内心的不甘是比女儿更强烈的吧。
如果不是SARS 我可能还看不出来这是什么年代的戏 不论台湾还是美国 二十年来都挺遥远的 也就周杰伦的那首《安静》 二十年来一直不变地流行着
这才应该得金马最佳剧情片和最佳女主角吧！数度眼眶泛泪！
影片呈现的家庭关系与情感与本人的现实生活有好些相似性 与瀑布相比似乎更加现实更能击中人心
父母真的不好当啊 片子中女孩的个性也太强了
从美国到台湾，生活场景发生了变化，作为台湾出生实则已是美国女孩的姐妹俩，自然得有一个相当艰难的适应过程，无论是生活方式还是学校教育方式，以及交流语言，都得有很大的变化。更何况他们的家庭也正处于困难时期，妈妈身患重病，爸爸也是工作辛苦，当时的台湾经济亦不景气，导演更是将故事背景置于非典爆发之时。所有的矛盾交织，夫妻之间恩怨不断，母女之间火星四溅，人人怨气很大，生活一地鸡毛。寻常人的生活，平淡而真实。两个小演员演技很好，表情语气拿捏到位，国语英语转换自如。真是难得。
