With the imminent release of Rose Matefeo’s brand new romcom Starstruck on BBC Three at the end of April, this coming year marks a watershed moment in broadcasting history with most BBC Three comedy either starring, written by or created by women. BBC Three will be the first UK channel to achieve this landmark in female representation with 58% of long-form scripted comedy written by women.
Upcoming titles include Lazy Susan, Starstruck and Ellie and Natasia plus the second series of both In My Skin and Back to Life.
In addition to this, the BBC today announces four new BBC Comedy Slices for BBC Three, all of which are written by and/or star female talent: Ladybaby, Amicable, Dinosaur and Britney, which results in the majority of comedy programmes on BBC Three now being female led.
Kate Daughton, outgoing Head of Comedy at the BBC, says: “Building on the huge success of Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Daisy May Cooper, this marks a monumental achievement and is testament to the fact the most pioneering and exciting new voices in comedy are increasingly female.”
Kate leaves the Comedy Commissioning team today having made a tremendous impact overseeing a raft of female first titles. Since Kate’s arrival in 2017 she has commissioned and nurtured Fleabag, Mum, Ghosts, Gavin & Stacey: Christmas Special (2019), This Time With Alan Partridge, Back to Life, The Goes Wrong Show, Out of Her Mind, Two Doors Down, In My Skin and Man Like Mobeen. Alongside the forthcoming Witchfinder, Alma’s Not Normal and Stephen Merchant series The Offenders (w/t).
Shane Allen, Director of BBC Comedy, says: “Five years ago there were still articles asking where all the funny women were. That hoary old nonsense can finally be dispensed with once and for all. It’s a level playing field with the most vibrant and dynamic work coming through from females writers and writer performers who are elevating the art form of comedy and expanding its horizons. As for Kate Daughton, no longer will she curse at me for loud sneezing in the office. Partly because she’s leaving and mostly because we’ve not been in the office. Truly bereft; in denial that she’s off and we’re lucky to have had her for so long.”
Charlotte Moore, Chief Content Officer, says: “Kate’s impeccable taste, whip smart comedy brain and beguiling ways with talent have had a transformative impact on the comedy output in her time here. The fact that BBC Three can claim to be the first UK channel with a majority of female led and written scripted comedy is in large part down to her vision and passion for backing genre defining female creatives. She’ll be sorely missed but thankfully leaves behind a terrific legacy of shows ahead.”

我有一个同事的口头禅是：We're all gonna die.然而，我另一个同时的口头禅是：It's all gonna be fine. 年度前五！
这片实在太解压了。。。
对一打演员的运用确实没比国内全明星阵容片好哪里去，甚至很多时候是靠明星来维持观众对角色的注意力。
？这啥啊？也太无聊了吧？不足够好笑也不够愤怒，建议导演早日脱离对政治片的执念…
将俄罗斯、印度、中国设定为最后的救世希望，好莱坞果然是反美大本营。 FBI“trans-provincial”抓人属实笑死我，whistler在哪里都会被针对么？
火力全开了，这个世界需要更多的讽刺喜剧！尤其是在这个年代。
7分，彻头彻尾的讽刺喜剧，台上口号喊得再响亮背后也不过是虚伪和自私的利己主义，一切都成为政治角力和企业盈利的工具，他人的生死在有些人眼中已经无关重要。最后的反转来得好，人总要付出代价的。
Facts Don’t Care About Your Feelings
绝对的时事讽刺喜剧，从上到下黑了个遍，娱乐性与时政热点巧妙结合，用科幻的外壳讽刺了现实的荒诞。小李子的咆哮博士很有味道了，哈哈...
新冠疫情之后，人们明显在社群媒体的划分下更加对立，真相是什么变得更不重要了，只有无休止的分裂。而高高在上的，执权者和资本家依然是牢牢掌握这个世界的存在。亚当麦凯这是把当年夺《大空头》眼球的电影主演都集结了吗，小李贡献了大部分笑点，电影的喜剧节奏和故事都挺流畅的，也在让人捧腹的同时完成对现实的讽刺。如果真的有那么一类电影可以规划到后新冠时代的电影，本片在对现实疯狂的吐槽后已经将现实的状况铺陈。
虽然很多讽刺，但估计被讽刺的人也不会看，看了也不会意识到自己的问题吧。
基督教一直在倒计时，现代文化对着倒计时逆向行驶（形如本杰明巴顿里的荒凉感），而美国精神总以为自己是在奔跑（阿甘正传）。不过如果真有世界末日，应该是混杂着rick and morty 里的狂欢和《乡愁》里的宗教感。又，其实我们已经在这一天了，对每个人来说都必有一死，对人类命运来说前途未卜，不是么
很浮夸的政治讽刺喜剧，所以千万不要较真，当作寓言故事来看，故事性还是不错的。如果评价电影的科学性，你就给负分也不为过。
最出彩是布兰切特，其余人大多有不错表现，Ariana骂小李old fuck也是惊喜。片子本身有不错的噱头，方向大体也是合理的，不过后半的故事很散乱，插曲以演唱会形式大段插入更是失败得很。65
很久没有看到能够blow my fucking mind商业大片了，众星云集的同时感觉大家在一起玩的也挺开心的，仿佛抛开了所有束缚并呈现出如此纯粹且粗暴的政治寓言，大数据时代下的阶级语言所引发的荒唐与嘲讽，存在还是毁灭也再一次被推向人类终极话题的风口浪尖。将不同阶级与政治意识形态下的交流思维表现出极端裸露下的病态发展，所摩擦出的各种火花令人捧腹同时也细思极恐，人类的命运暴露在台面上供他们博弈，彗星的灭绝威胁变成了最大利益化的共同体。抬头即上帝在赋予预言为现实，不要抬头是脚踏实地的虚无主义，一切试图将「存在」抹除的精致肉体都将被撕烂与吞噬，而将爱保留在灵魂深处的胴体才是最永恒的感知体，而所有被毁灭的众生也从来不曾被遗忘。
不要抬头，现实里没有刷手机的快感，不要抬头，屏幕外没有你想要的答案。人们不再需要被理解只需要被看到，理性被情绪撕裂，贪婪将恐惧湮没，在最后的时刻一起走向毁灭。荒诞是现实而非效果，讽刺也只是结果不是目的，笑的时候千万别抬头，会流泪。
相当于内地的春节档合家欢，同样热闹，同样尴尬，同样卡司齐聚。区别是北美老百姓喜闻乐见的题材是政治闹剧。片尾双彩蛋
[3.5/5.0] Ron Perlman 角色用手槍打彗星是不是在致敬巴頓將軍ＸＤ
太棒了！终于在灾难片里看到地球毁灭了。加一星。
