Product Description

New comedy Moving Wallpaper provides a comedic behind-the-scenes look at the 'making of' Echo Beach from the viewpoint of fictional producer Jonathan Pope (Ben Miller). Follow Jonathan and his writing team as they turn the originally planned family drama into the UK's answer to The OC.


Synopsis

Set in the production office of ITV soap ECHO BEACH--an angst-ridden, love-triangled Cornish melting pot--MOVING WALLPAPER depicts the behind-the-scenes antics, arguments and backbiting of the show's staff, helmed by the irrepressible producer and 'mastermind' Jonathan Pope (played with relish by Ben Miller). Filmed in a mockumentary-style, this comedy-drama cleverly pokes fun at the TV industry and its players. The cast of the soap regularly appear as versions of themselves; throwing diva strops and pestering writers for more lines, providing plenty of in-jokes and cross-over stories when viewed alongside ECHO BEACH.

5.0 out of 5 stars A new idea, 22 Mar 2009
I think the idea of this series is brilliant, however to give it full justice it must be seen in conjuction with ECHO BEACH, as this is how it was intended.

Whilst Moving Wallpaper is extremely amusing and does have some brilliantly written storylines you do not get the real jokes until you watch the subsequent episode of Echo Beach. My analogy is its like Laurel and Hardy or Morecombe and Wise, the jokes would not have been the same without the "straight man" and Echo Beach is the "straight man".

It took me a while to realise that this was the "joke" as I expected both programmes to be comedies, and therefore the first two episodes of the "soap" I thought to be "second rate", but this is exactly the point. Echo Beach in my opinion is a parody of soaps, particularly Australian ones. So having the main characters played by Jason Donovan and Martine McCutheon, supported by Hugo Speer was superb.

Even the extras on the combined dvd (which I consider to be essential to buy) are funny and watcheable, which cannot be said for many "outtakes" etc.

All in all I think this was a very refreshing series and I will certainly be purchasing series 2

5.0 out of 5 stars Moving wallpaper, 24 May 2009
By P. K. Trembath - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Really liked this dvd, Only got it on the off chance it might be worth watching. Have a feeling most soaps might be made along the lines played out here, very funny, would recomend to all and I'm not a fan of most soap's.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEN MILLER IS MAGIC, 14 May 2009
By Budley (London. UK) - See all my reviews
Wonderfully funny, just what is needed in these harsh financial times, a chance for unrestrained laughter. Ben Miller bounces from one disaster to another as the hapless Howard, to whom all disasters gravitate with alarming force and regularity, yet just when you feel all around him want to disown him, or indeed dismember and dispose of him, he manages to find just the right words or gesture to turn things around. Plus, not wishing to be sexist in any way, the fact he is drop dead gorgeous adds to the pleasure!. We also have the wonderful talents of Alison Steadman [Gavin's mum in Gavin and Stacey]. She is a superbly comedic actress, a joy to watch. I would recommend this brilliant collection without hesitation.
