What are you writing now? Are you a Melanie Tate fan …? She has a play about a writers room opening this week!

I make a webseries called @vhsrevue.bsky.social where I review TV commercials I find on old video tapes. Looks interesting. Will keep an eye out if it comes to Melbourne

From memory it was one of my last days in the ABC office before we all had to write from home. I have a growing list of fake names on my phone and I just took it from that. But ‘stove’ is a funny word

David M. Green @davidmgreen.bsky.social

I don’t think so. It’s obviously a parody. Also makes Bunnings look good IMO

Cristy Clark @cristyclark.bsky.social

So the show didn’t clear the use of their IP? That’s interesting. I would have assumed they’d have been able to claim a breach if they’d wanted to.

David M. Green @davidmgreen.bsky.social

Maybe they did. I don’t know - that’s a question for a producer. But generally in Australia there’s an exemption to the Copyright Act for the purposes of parody and satire
