Channel 4 are laying claim to some content in this. Can you spot anything they might own the rights to? I'd love to know what you -or they- might think is theirs :)
they must have time on their hands. this is original content with references. I don't know about UK law, but in the USA we have a concept called "fair use" which governs our right to use copyrighted material for personal purposes. We can record stuff off-air for personal use, we can publish small amounts of video or audio...but parody is fully protected - you could literally copy every word of a script aslong as itwas parody and you would be protected.
I'm happy to report than since being challenged Channel 4 have backed down and agree they've no claim on anything in this video. I think it's the words 'Adam and Joe-esque' which confused an idiot working for them. They *do* own all the Adam and Joe Show soft-toy spoofs... but as you say this is all content original to me. I love a happy ending :)
I like the subtle changes to the opening titles. You should do a spoof of Fall Out as well. I can see that working very well. I LOVE THE VOICE OF NUMBER 2! ALL OF THIS IS SO CLEVER! You've inspired me to make my own kind of The Prisoner spoof. IT'S JUST SUCH A COOL SERIES!
I am working on a PB3(&4?) script. 'Dance of the Ted' is a spoof of Once Upon A Time and Fall Out. It may end up split into two episodes (with one being called Free Fur All because it's the best title joke I have left). Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the silliness and the voice was stolen from my (poor) Orson Wells impression :)
The voice reminded me of Marvin the Paranoid Android from Hitch Hikers Guide. I was expecting him to say, "I'm feeling very depressed" at any moment. I really do look forward to Dance of the Ted. From one Prisoner fan and amateur film maker to another good luck!
Seriously, this is bizzar. That bear is my main childhood bear, the one that sits on my bed and to see him less squished staring in The Prisoner is just wierd.
Brilliant. In a future episode, I would love to see Number 6 engaging in a round of Kosho, and perhaps training on his improvised high bar. A game of bear chess would be nice, too (don't forget the loudspeakers). Be seeing you.
Just total entertainment, I loved this soo much. Fantastic work. Is Dance of the ted out or have you cancelled it??? I would really like to see a third!!! BRILLIANT! I love the Prisoner
Dance or the Ted is still on the cards, but as I want to do it justice and have a lot of other stuff on my plate at the moment, it's on hold for now. Stay tuned though, as it well be here someday! - Glad you enjoyed this one in the meantime :)
You are a genius! We need more of these!
