LOVE AGAIN
1 x 75 minutes
LOVE AGAIN is the story of PHILIP LARKIN and the four women who
shaped his life and poetry.
Even as he recoiled from these women and what they might represent
– marriage, kids, “the enemy of art” – he
cared for them all, and many of his most memorable poems emerged
from these tangled relationships. Though his poetic style may have
been finely honed and well ordered, his private life was anything
but.
Critically lauded and shown twice on BBC2 in 2003, this one-off
film starred Hugh Bonneville, Tara Fitzgerald and Eileen Atkins.

It asks what do men want? And what do women want from them? And
can the two ever be reconciled? Our men are a five-a-side football

too old and too slow, too under the thumb at home to waste time
kicking a ball around on Tuesday nights and losing every time.
So the football stops and the excitement starts. They begin in lap-dancing
bars, but soon want more. Porn. Violence. Sex. Class A's. Tuesday
nights will never be the same again.

ATTACHMENTS
Attachments was not just a T.V. show nor was the Attachments Website
an appendage to the T.V. show. It was a T.V. show and an Internet
business interacting to create a completely new experience.
The actual Internet business added resonance and public interest
to the fictional characters in the T.V. show; and the concept that
these characters were creating the Internet business in real time
gave it a cachet and an extra dimension.
The Show
A one hour comedy drama series about a group of people coming up
to the big three 0.
The series was aimed at the audience both sides of the crucial
birthday. When is youth over? Is it thirty? Or can we choose? It’s
the time in life when career and relationship questions start to
get serious: the stakes are higher. In your twenties you can get
away with being promising. In your thirties you have to deliver.
These people wonder if they can, and what compromises will be required.
And sacrifices. This was a show about all the different takes on
growing up. Or refusing to.
Much of the fun was in the contrast between the fact that our characters
gave advice about sex, relationships and friendships – but
were not too hot at these things themselves.

The Website

and jokey material about sex.

relationships. Talk, perhaps meet, maybe more. Place your blog.
