'How we made 'Looking Theroux The Mirror''

Available for over a year

Discover how the sketch that took the internet by storm has a Worcestershire twist, all brought about by award-winning Redditch writer Lorna Rose Treen on Saturday Night Live UK. Lorna is someone we've supported for years on BBC Upload, whether it's in her own stand-up or character work, her award-winning comedy series on Radio 4 (Time Of The Week), learning how best to MC open mic nights or winning top prizes with her hilarious jokes and immeasurable sold-out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe. The Worcestershire writer is one of the writers of the British version of the programme which turned Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Eddie Murphy and more in to household names. Some of her ideas featured in the hit first series of Saturday Night Live UK included 'Woke Shakespeare' and 'Looking Theroux The Mirror': The former was inspired after watching Hamnet with her parents in Stratford-upon-Avon, whilst the latter was conceived one night, pitched to cast member Larry Dean, and the rest is history. Lorna shares with Phillip Stoneman how there was a contingency plan to dress the rest of the cast, writers and crew up as the documentary maker with matching clothes, wigs and glasses - but when the real Louis Theroux made an appearance, she knew the show was on to a winner.
