Title: Adult Swim Show?
Post by: Harpsichord on May 30, 2010, 03:44:32 PM

Hey Tom,

I know you can't (won't?) talk about this kind of thing on the show, but I heard that you were working with Matt Berry on an Adult Swim show.  Is this something that's already been picked up or a pilot or something even earlier than that?  Your names being attached to it got me excited  :)

Where did you hear this?

I only really know Berry from Darkplace, but he was incredible in that.

You should watch Berry and Fulcher's Snuff Box, orator.

Steve Agee has a short podcast and he was speaking to Berry in the latest episode.

If you've seen it before, you know it's worth watching again. If you've never seen it, merry christmas:

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace is one of the greatest things ever.

I'd like to see a show on Adult Swim similar to the Mighty Boosh. Tom lives in Newbridge and does a radio show with his ape friend Mike. The mayor is Philly Boy Roy, but Maurice Kern, Jr. is really in charge. Kern is played by Matt Berry, similar to his role on The IT Crowd as the spoiled and stupid CEO.

YES. My brother hipped me to that. The best is the "boyfriend" segments, which I won't ruin for you if you have not seen them before:

The tie-collar combination he's using is something I'm interested in trying out for myself.

Tom mentions this in his recent appearance on "Walking with Michelle."  If I remember correctly, little information is actually given other than it is live-action and it is early in development.

I don't like the sound of this.

I wondered what that was about, I did not think of the Adult Swim/Atlanta connection. That really sucks, if that's what it was.

Adult Swim offers custom DVD-R's here: http://tinyurl.com/4lylgy8 (http://tinyurl.com/4lylgy8)

One of the options is a Matt Berry pilot called "Duckworth."  Is this the show Tom was involved with?
