It had to happen coming in December the first sitcom about the UN - are we ready for this???
Ahh over the years i am sure many of us have thought it would be fun to write a sitcom about what happens at the UN....I even started to draft a pitch once but then I wasn't sure it would be good for multilateralism to finish it. Its clear we are in a difficult period and would laughing at some of the things that go on at the UN be a good idea? I have to say I pulled back. Over the years there have been a few examples of good films where the UN has been central. There was a good TV series two episodes called Burn Up (2008) with Bradley Whitford (Josh from west wing) as James 'Mack' Mackintosh with the Business coalition trying to suppress climate change data during a UN Conference on Climate Change. I thought it was a very good attempt at showing what happens...more serious and spy like. After all my car number plate is Felix007. If you haven't seen it well worth renting or buying. Then there are films like the Interpreter with Nicole Kidman ...
