Le Donk comedy project!

[Dave]

Hey up!

Just had a listen to the interview with Shane, Tomo, and Stephen Graham on Radio one, and at the end of the interview Edith Bowman managed to winkle a nice bit juicy info out of Shane.
It seems that Shane and Paddy (Considine) are looking to make a one hour comedy pilot about the character Le Donk!
It seems that they have permission to get backstage at one of the festivals this summer, where Le Donk (roadie, brickie, drummer, etc) will be interacting with a few of the bands!

If you know the character of Le Donk, then you're probably laughing already (like me).

I'll try and get the radio one interview up on the site by Monday so you can hear it yourself.

I think the only place to spot the charecter is in Shanes world mate on the 2 disc once upon a time in the midlands dvd.

Just found this on the net from an interview with Shane after DMS:

Meadows already has his next feature planned, and it sounds both hilarious and wildly different. It's called Le Donk. 'Le Donk will be the next film and Paddy will be in it. It's about a rock drummer who gets dropped from his label and he has to go back and work on the council estate. It'll be a fly-on-the-wall documentary and will be totally different. He's called Le Donk because he got off with a French student when he was at school.'

I just thought....

I hope Perry Benson is in it!

[RydCook]

yes, him + Le Donk = hilarity
