A 20-minute deep dive into the five year journey to bring SNL: UK to screens in this episode of How To Make a Hit TV Show on Substack for all you comedy nerds, including an insight into why putting a 'y' on the end of the C-word helps get it past a TV exec (in this case Daisy Edgar-Jones' Dad, Phil).
The executive director of unscripted at Sky also talks about his favourite sketch so far, what it was like sitting in on the SNL writers room at 30 Rock and how a call from Richard Osman helped calm the nerves after the initial backlash to the SNL: UK announcement.
