    Auditions, Adaptations and Law Suits

    Auditions, Adaptations and Law Suits

    Do all actors have to audition and what is the modern audition process? How do you translate a book to a film or even a theatre production? Can it be a simple copy and paste? Plus how do shows such as Mr Bates vs. The Post Office avoid law suits from those that are shown in what could be described as, an unfavourable light?

    Those questions and more tackled by Richard and Marina on The Rest Is Entertainment.

    How to make a billion in showbiz

    How to make a billion in showbiz

    The Sunday Times rich list has been revealed but which are the names from the world of entertainment, and how have they made their money?

    Cannes Film Festival is underway, and the world has seen for the first time Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis. A film long talked about and self-financed by the man himself, why has he had to put his hand in his own pocket, like Kevin Coster with Horizon: An American Saga, is it all vanity?

    Plus, Have I Got News For You is soon to be on US screens. Does the history of UK formats trying to make it in American show it will be a success?

Beersyb ,

fun but privileged: entertaining but biased

Does what it say on thr tin. It’s entertaining and gives a little glimpse behind the scenes. Snide remarks against Meghan Markle are inexplicable and lower the tone somewhat.
Marina could do with slowing down her delivery and taking a breath of air

MikeStoner1 ,

Book

If only Osman would tell us about his book and related money-spinning projects. Can’t believe he never mentions it. Not even once. (In case you can’t tell I’m being sarcastic, it takes up about 70% of the show)

Notaprudebut ,

Three stars for a five star pod

Love the concept and the backstage insights into how media works. Just fascinating, thought provoking and often funny. But, given that Marina Hyde is one of the funniest and acerbic commentators out there (actually, the best) the extent to which Richard Osman talks over her or takes over from her is so irritating. He is funny and good but really needs a producer who helps him share it about a bit.
