I am back to describe more of my delightful doings. This month I would like to bring your attention to a documentary I co-wrote entitled “Paul Merton’s Weird and Wonderful World of Early Cinema“, which airs this Sunday, March 28th on BBC4 at 9 PM. As the title suggests it deals with the beginnings of cinema, concentrating on the more ‘weird and wonderful’ early films of mainly the French and British. We meet the world’s first comedians, see a giant pig dancing and my personal favorite we watch a magician who vanishes eggs with the help of a very brave and stoic chicken.

Also I get to show off my musical talents-what Charlie Parker was to the saxophone, I am to the tin tray and the hammer! With the tuneful timing of Buddy Rich, I beat the bejasus out of that tray! I’ve since progressed on to other household items – not many girls can play ‘Moonlight Sonata’ with a colander and a step ladder but you’re looking at one right now.

When it comes to all things technical I am a big girl’s tailored shirt; never a blouse that’s just too last century. Recent technology defeats include buying a toaster online – (yes I managed an internet buy) it arrived with a DVD instruction kit. Bit much I thought it’s only a toaster how hard can it be. Two weeks later having incinerated bread to the point I made a carbon diamond – I threw said toaster away. But here I am in 2010 writing my first blog!

2009 was a fantastic year! Working on the Morecombe and Wise show I got to meet the man who single-handedly wrote all their shows, the hugely talented and lovely Mr Eddie Braben.

I fulfilled my dream of doing ‘Just A Minute’ Radio Four’s longest running panel show and I went to the Altitude festival where I learnt to ski – brilliant fun!

The après ski crowd sure know how to party. On the Sunday they had a fancy dress fun run. Having downed a pitcher of Martini’s each they set off with Papa Smurf, a couple of nuns and one young lad wearing nothing but tiny pants and head to toe cling film. Sorry but not a good look. Firstly tiny pants and cling film only go to emphasise how cold it is, they sent a search party out to look for his penis but they never did find it. Despite a cash reward. Secondly unless you are tanned and have a six-pack you could grate cheese on, you look like a pre-packaged chicken breast. Still I had a blast so thanks a million Altitude! 2010 promises to be another great year will continue to chronicle me doings!
