Phil is Today's Client! Let's walk through the process of making him a, uh … … "It's a TV set! Jeez …" Oh! Right.

"Right, let's cut to the chase. Name's Phil Lombardi. I'm a director with Channel 4." 'Lombardi? Really?' "Yeah. 'Cause I'm from Lombardy. Got a problem with that, lady?" 'Ah … No?' "Right. Well, long story short, the channel's moving forward with a show concept I pitched 'em, so I guess I'm gonna be a head writer too. I want you to build the main set. You can do that, right?" What do you need?

"The bridge of a spaceship. Just to cement the look. Our own guys can build onto it later." 'Oh! Is this for Aria's new show?' "H-hey! It's my show! Ariadna's just starring in it, okay?" Well, that's good for her, anyway. Okay, I can handle this! "Just remember, you'll be shaping the look and feel of the entire show." No pressure, then … "Hey! You did okay on the Spirit of Mercy set, didn't ya?"

Do you have a title yet? "Right now it's 'Star Hobos'." Uh … "Working title, obviously. We'll come up with something final by the time we hit open auditions." Right. So, I take it you're into science fiction. "Eh, I can leave the heady stuff. This is gonna be more of a wagon train to the stars kinda show." So … it's a western now? "Nah, I mean like Star Trek! Farscape. Andromeda. That kinda show."

I'm pretty sure those are all science fiction shows … "Yeah, but the science ain't the focus. They're really all about the interactions of an ensemble cast stuck in a big vehicle together. Like a road trip in space! And even the spacey stuff is mostly just there as justification! You could set it in a cruise ship in the Caribbean for all it matters. Probably wouldn't be as exciting, but …"

You're saying it's mostly about the characters. "All good stories are about characters! That's what makes them good stories. And that's why I really love this format: it puts the focus square where it needs to be!" I don't know. It seems a little derivative … "What? Nah, it's just a framework! It's how you flesh it out that makes it interesting. I mean, first of all, you have the setting." Space?

"No! I mean, yeah, but no! You can flesh out your planet or solar system or galaxy all you want, but none of it means half as much as the ship." Oh, right. "I mean, you got great shows on big, gleaming battleships the size of cities! And you got great shows on cramped, rusting trade boats!" Shiny … "Anywhere in between works too. It's a constant presence, so you gotta make it interesting."

Does this seem like a good start? I know the star has a lot of blue feathers, so I figured I should riff off that. "Yeah, this is great! I could frame some nice shots with those tanks. We could call them, ah … fuel cells!" On the bridge!? That seems like a liability. "As I was saying, Einstein, once you got the ship, we need to fill out the crew. That's the real meat of the show."

Oh, they could be part of the inertial dampening system … "Hey, focus! First you need a captain. Someone who can anchor the crew, and make big decisions for the group. There are two main ways you can go with this. You got the 'standard leader': kinda bland, great with people, mostly there to help everyone else shine. And you got the 'hero': a big personality whose development drives the plot."

You mean like Picard and Kirk? "More like Picard and Riker: a deuteragonist setup works really nice here. Every captain needs a first mate, right?" Okay, ow that's sounding more like me and Lottie. "After that, you ask yourself what roles your ship needs: every ship needs an engineer and a doctor; bigger ships need a dedicated pilot; ships on REALLY long journeys need farmers; that sort of thing!"

"Then you fill those roles out with as diverse and colourful a cast of characters you can! The more different viewpoints and backstories you have, the better! Generally you want about four to seven mains, but you can go a lot bigger than that. Just make sure everyone can talk to everyone else, give them all episodes where they can be the star, and these things practically write themselves!"

"Okay, I'll admit it. You did good." Thanks, Phil. It sounds like you're gonna have a lot of fun with this. "Eh, well. Field's my producer on this, so I'm still gonna have him riding my tailfeathers." Rodney's not a very good boss, then? "It's a real pain working for a perfectionist like that, yeah. But he can have his 'big vision' if he wants. I just wanna make good TV." Well, uh … Good luck!

Complete! Visit the set of Space Hobos … I mean, Channel 4's newest show at HHN address 0808-5775-204, or scan that QR code. Until next time, have fun designing! … Hey, Aria's a bird. Maybe you could call it "Star Flocks"! "… No." Aw.

PHILLLLL!!! Oh, how I miss my Falco-feathered pheasant. TvT I loved the title card pun and art for this one, and it was fun to learn more about what show Aria will be starring in. :)
