For real?

Yes, for real. Michelle, that's what really happened. One of the comediennes was wearing a shirt that was clearly a dig at the thirtysomething clips that I'd been uploading.

Tory's team were clearly wise to my TV series, but thought I was a terrible person.

The entire evening was basically pitched with this theme: let Don and Harry make Weeded Out, and do it as a guy. That's totally unacceptable.

I gather that Don's not well enough to do that, and probably wasn't then either. But there were a lot of people that felt I had some kind of social obligation to make the film, despite the fact that I was actively developing Shipwrecked on Islands simultaneously: I've always said that it would inject millions into the local economy. and maybe it might. My pitch is that we do Shipwrecked on Islands as an animated film in Wellington, using gaming-type graphics rather than Pixar-type graphics so it's more like GTA.

That hui certainly didn't make me feel like giving up.
