BlodwynPig

A new film directed by nearly award nominated Blodwyn T. Pig ("Minotaur", "Mino2aur", that other one).

The story follows the exploits of budding journalist Dave Kiln who investigates the mystery of BBC correspondent John Sopel and his magic gloves. He posits that there is something odd going on when a VT piece by Sopel reveals a pair of burgundy leather gloves magically appearing on his hands a 20 seconds into the report.

After bringing this inconsistency to the attention of the world, the BBC and Sopel issue a statement claiming that Sopel had taken a glove off to use fingerprint recognition on his iPhone, which was resting on a lecturn out of shot.

However, Kiln, after getting access to the raw footage, believe this cannot be true...his shoulder movements are negligible, he never once looks down.

After writing a blog about this latest analysis, Kiln is harried and harassed in a series of incidents with shadowy figures in his hometown of Corby.

*BOOM* - Breaking news...the BBC reveal that alternative footage from a second camera clears Sopel of any mistruths. The reel shows Sopel clearly pressing his thumb onto a black object resting on a lecturn in front of him before replacing the glove and then making fist gestures shortly afterward.

Ever vigilant, Kiln analyses this new evidence and with a tech friend notice that prior to the thumb press there is a small glitch in the tape. The tech does some digital analysis and finds a binary code embedded in the video that not only reveal the tape to be false, but something much more sinister and hideous.

That night, the tech is slain close to Rockingham speedway and Kiln has to flee to save his life....to be continued.

It's Jon Sopel.

This whole thing is a farce.

Shouldn't it, in that case, be "John Sopel's Boots" then?

I have medium-level lank.

Is the glove a voiced role?

BlodwynPig

No the glove is a glove.

I am also producing a new romantic comedy called "Joss Sticks" about a loveable hippy called Joss who never lets his girl go - ending in a temporary restraining order, but they eventually get together and open a vega restaurant. Jen (Aniston) will play Weasel, the main female part. You may like to audition for the Joss part?

Only a few minutes ago I heard Joss Ackland excitedly tell all of his family about some work he's finally managed to get.  He WILL be disappointed.  You're a dreadful bastard, Blods....

Fear not, his agent has been on the blower and he will play the elderly uncle of Jen's character.
