Finally, something funny on the old Television... almost!
A friend recently gave me a phone number and told me the guy wanted a website... 'the usual' I thought, but no, not quite!
Not only does this guy have the same surname as me (John McFarlane) he has spent all his savings on shooting a half hour episode of a script that he wrote called 'The Honkys'. The show was shot in Brooklyn, New York and brought home and edited in the UK. After a brief introduction, I was put in charge of 'everything web and graphics related' on a volunteer basis untill we get some sponsorship.
