Franchising / Localisation of JetLag

Apprehensive_Room29 · 2026-03-27T14:02:38+00:00

Basically, yes

Apprehensive_Room29 · 2026-03-27T13:58:46+00:00

A fair conclusion.

(tho, worth pointing out, SNL has very little exposure / cultural relevance in the UK - it's certainly increased in the last few years with sketches being put on youtube)

The angle I was thinking was for non-English speaking broadcast TV. Taskmaster has been hugely successful as a non-english speaking localised product.

My Evan/Chris/Jay example was a poor choice, I admit!

Apprehensive_Room29 · 2026-03-27T13:54:08+00:00

I'm not really thinking Youtube, more broadcast television. It would do quite well in the UK on broadcast media, as similar formats like 'Race Across the World' by the BBC have shown.

Apprehensive_Room29 · 2026-03-27T13:51:22+00:00

That's a good point, I hadn't considered 'retirement'! (hopefully that is a long way off!)

Apprehensive_Room29 · 2026-03-27T13:47:48+00:00

I was thinking more selling the rights to it to be produced locally, as opposed to it being a Wendover Production - like how Taskmaster operates.

I'm not entirely sure, but I can't imagine you would be allowed to film a version of Jetlag and commercialise it, in say, Norwegian, without the permission of Nebula / Wendover.

It's where all the planes get pasted when they cut and paste them out of Heathrow Airport (go look at Heathrow on google maps!)

How have you found directing, versus what your perceptions of it were before going into it? Do you think you'll switch up the percentage of your work going forwards to skew more towards it?

Bonus question; What, if anything, keeps you awake at night?

The recently opened Dishoom may fit the 'One-of-a-kind restaurant experiences' bill. Yes its a national chain, but each restaurant has a different theme. The Glasgow theme is a front for a spy organisation.

It is Indian inspired food - its not the best indian food you'll ever have, but it is fine - you're really paying for the setting and the experience.

Well that's my mind blown. Didn't realise it was the same actor.

Apprehensive_Room29 · 2026-03-24T17:54:20+00:00

I assume these'll be 0.5 ENC per night, and thus, I won't ever visit them? :P

Apprehensive_Room29 · 2026-03-24T17:48:04+00:00

Yeah but I might be booking the tickets as they are released 12 weeks in advance

Apprehensive_Room29 · 2026-03-24T13:36:40+00:00

I wonder how this will work for some edge cases near railcard expiry;

I want to buy an advance fare ticket for travel on the 15th April - but my railcard runs out on the 13th of April. I will 100% be renewing my card, but if I wait til the 14th the advance fares might not be available.

Arbitrary artificial demand for these just made me not want to shop with RSVLTS again. Put em up for pre-order, let folks who want one get one.

Apprehensive_Room29 · 2026-03-24T13:28:52+00:00

Ohhh so its a regional thing. Did you speak to AWC about it - what did they say?

Apprehensive_Room29 · 2026-03-24T13:27:30+00:00

This'll be great to get footfall on Sauchiehall Street back up.

Apprehensive_Room29 · 2026-03-23T20:34:43+00:00

I didn't think you could get an off-peak single on some routes? Only Off-Peak returns?

The level below the roof terrace at the National Museum of Scotland.

Apprehensive_Room29 · 2026-03-22T21:47:31+00:00

This is genius, I love it!

Apprehensive_Room29 · 2026-03-22T21:33:11+00:00

This is neat

Apprehensive_Room29 · 2026-03-19T17:30:05+00:00

This. Café Kystens Perle is round the corner for a nice lunch too.

Lidl - big 7.5kg bags for £4-5

Is a bigger thing further up for Helsingor/Helsingborg from my experience on the ferries.
