Seriously -- if you don't have the guts to write to me and say 'hey, we want your script' then why shouldn't I say no?


I mean, I was willing to annoy Ms. Swarbrick to get the permissions I wanted for the Dakumentary, so why in the fuck is it that people aren't even willing to write me emails about my scripts? 👋

That wouldn't win me over, but it'd be at least a fair attempt. While blackmailing me is bullshit. - I haven't bugged Tory Whanau yet, but I'm sure there'll come a day where I do that too.


I'd rather like to interview her. That's something I'd be keen for, though I think that she's super-slick with the PR, and I doubt I'd be able to trip her up.

As for Grant: I'm sure we'd have more to discuss once you leave politics, but while you're a Labour Cabinet Minister, it's sort-of hard to see what we'd have to talk about.


Somehow, I doubt you'd trip up or give me anything juicy as an interviewer, and the upside of my indie studio is that I don't have to interview anyone.


I enjoy your reactions during Question Time, though. I definitely take my cues from you in that space. 👋
