Title: Plot Ideas!


Johnny - May 12, 2006 08:11 PM (GMT)
Right i need everybodys co-operation with this!!

I need your ideas for plots, scenes etc.

I've got some top ideas that i've wrote down which i'll post in a bit, lets here your top ideas for a storyline!! ;) (thumbs up)

Han - May 12, 2006 08:21 PM (GMT)
I only came up with one as yet.

It was basically club going tits up again (if you'll pardon the expression) and the brewery getting someone in to help Brian sort it (or rather just sort it!!!) -- cue lots of plotting to get rid! Maybe FINALLY a bit of love interest for Max???!!

Ian - May 12, 2006 08:21 PM (GMT)
I love the really short scences which have a side story line but at the present moment i can't think of one :lol: but i would envole max and paddy in it or les allan os

Johnny - May 12, 2006 08:28 PM (GMT)
Well basically i've got one where den perry comes back from prison. pretending to cut a deal to brian to take 50% ownership of the pheonix because he wasn't doing so well. But den has a plan to destory the pheonix some how.

Involving max and paddy we could get max a girlfriend but she is really into kinky stuff and rings max up when he's on the door and she requests max to do dirty stuff to paddy while she's on the phone!

I was also thinking of the pheonix having some sort of 'hunk's for sale' autction night where all the men of the pheonix are auctioned off the all the old biddys! :lol:

Oooh, and Beverly coming back and bidding on Brian but he's still smarting!!! Cue something very 'Road Trip' with the compere trying to ignore her bids but failing!!!!

And definitely having a 'minger' (I hate that word :lol:) winning Paddy. Seeing a look of Willy W*****/early singles night crossing his face -- she'll do nowt for his cred!!!

Johnny - May 12, 2006 08:53 PM (GMT)
Brill idea han!!! What a fantastic way to bring beverly back in! I'd love to involve them two again in some sort of story!

I guess she's the person were getting to return then!

Han - May 12, 2006 08:56 PM (GMT)
Max definitely needs to find a kinky girfriend too -- can you imagine the conversations with Paddy over that one!!! :lol: And having to explain the handcuffs to his Mum!!! :lol:

Have you seen american pie 2? where the girls get the guys to do dirty things! well i was thinking max gets a call from her and she's like 'touch paddys bum if you want some hot stuff later' :lol:

I know i'm rubbish at saucy stuff, i was thinking maybe yuo and dawn could write those scenes! :D

I have -- I must say I can see Max trying that because he's gagging for it (poor bloke), trying it once and not letting on to Paddy, and Paddy jumping a mile and ripping the p*** out of him at every opportunity thereafter!!! That way it doesn't change the characters too much and we get a bit of daft!!! Going too far with something like that could get into homoerotic territory and I don't PN would go that way -- jmho!!!

Ooooh, I'm getting right into this aren't I???? :lol:

gemma - May 12, 2006 09:06 PM (GMT)
Like the idea of max getting a girlfriend,about time i think....10 years lol

and auctioning the lads off is a great idea too,and you can just imagine brian keeping the money can't ya haha (thumbs up)

I doubt you girls would take it too far!...then again! :lol:

Han - May 12, 2006 09:21 PM (GMT)
So what's this new girlfriend going to be???

Three times divorcee called, erm, Judith, in her mid-40's with 2 grown up kids and who has found her inner 'Graaar' so to speak, saw Eurotrash once and decided that kinky sex is the way to go?!?!? Last boyfriend was a 22-year old swedish masseur called Sven who was more chocolates and flowers than handcuffs and PVC?!?!? And, of course, Max being Max and single for a while hasn't got the heart dissappoint her!!!

Johnny - May 12, 2006 09:25 PM (GMT)
OOO yeah han! She's got to have been married before, really rough and common, but also a bit of glamour! The type of women who speaks like janice battersby and wears tons of makeup etc!

The pvc thing sounds interesting! I can't wait to see what you come up with! Seems like your minds set with max having a love interest! I really cannot wait to see what you come up with!

Han - May 12, 2006 09:26 PM (GMT)

Awww yes. Would love him to have a happy ending, but it's Max. He doesn't really have happy endings.

Johnny - May 12, 2006 10:20 PM (GMT)
By the way I wrote the starting to the episode last week, its only max and paddy getting their jobs back, its quite funny and the people who have seen it like it so when we've got the plot sorted and everybody knows what there writing etc

OK, Anybody else for some ideas?? Comon i know we have some great minds in here! Lets have them out on the table!! ;)

garlic_bread!04 - May 13, 2006 11:21 AM (GMT)
am too ill to think of any at the moment, but the ones you've got so far sound fabulous!!! really like the idea of Maxs' kinky g/f making him pinch paddys arse!!! and the man auction sounds fab (thumbs up)
think young kenny should be more involved than in the real phoenix nights cos he's a really funny character and even peter says he wishes he'd not had to cut his bits out of PN
kay1 i'm really excited to see the bit you've written already :D

Dont worry donna, you'll see what i've written as soon as we've got this sorted (thumbs up)

Well so far we've got..

'Hunks Auction' for charity (brians wallet)
Max's Kinky Girlfriend who's not all that she seems!

Comon guys, more ideas are welcome!!!

Kay1 should we post the start in a new post so people can get the feel for the episode.

Ok i'll post it then could you lock the thread until we've decided who's writing what etc.

People can comment on it in this thread if they like?

What do u think ian?

Johnny - May 13, 2006 04:44 PM (GMT)
Right shall we have it..

With the closing of the pheonix massage parlour, Brian decides the club can't run on air and decides to hold a 'Pheonix Hunks For Sale' auction for disabled people, But when its discovered to be a scam by old flame Beverly, things can only go downhill!

Meanwhile max falls in love with a women who isn't all she seems

Sounds good. I'm gonna go and have a crack at Max's first meeting with the girlfriend if nobody minds???

What have I let myself in for?!?!?! *gulp*

Johnny - May 13, 2006 05:02 PM (GMT)
Yes Or course han!

So the whistle has been blown and were off! Han take your time with it dear! No matter how long or short it is i'm sure it will be great! Oooohh the official first scene to the episode is being written how exciting! :lol:

I'm not promising this'll be any good. It's going to be a hard one to write!!!

Han - May 13, 2006 05:11 PM (GMT)
Can I make her Welsh rather than Janice??? I reckon she'd be good if she was deceptively demure!!! ;)

Han - May 13, 2006 08:38 PM (GMT)
Right. Hopefully this is going in the right place (especially as I can't and wouldn't post it straight to the episode thread!!! :lol:) Although I'm sure someone'll shift it if not!!!

This is the first draft. Some feedback would be good. Like I said it's quite a hard one to write in terms of getting from A to B!!! :lol: It also feels a bit short and rushed?!?!?! :unsure:

Here goes nothing: (OOO)

Ok. Got 2 possible endings for this scene so I’ve left options open for whoever goes next!!! A bit like those books you got when you were 10!!!! :lol: They depend on the order of things I think!!! Thoughts/comments welcome!!

Max meets Judith

Int Max has made a brew and is making his way back to the door with them. A woman is leaving Brian’s office.

Judith (O/S) - It was a pleasure Mr. Potter

A woman exits Brian’s office, closes the door and rolls her eyes about an unknown conversation. Max almost bumps into the woman as she turns to walk in the opposite direction. She’s a softly spoken welsh woman in her 40’s, with peroxide blonde hair, and make up by B&Q, i.e. applied with a trowel. Think Lily Savage!!!

Max– Have you not got eyes?? (Max looks up) Oh. Sorry. ‘Scuse me love.
Judith- Hello love!!

Judith looks him up and down, gives a wry smile, and proffers her hand.

Judith- I’m Judith. Charmed.

Max struggles with the mugs and shakes her hand.

Max- Max

Judith starts making eyes at Max.

Judith- Hello …… Max. Now what’s a handsome man like you doing in a place like this?

Max pauses and looks around nervously.

Max- I’m working the door. I’m a doorman …… I man the door …… wi’ Paddy.

Paddy interrupts from his position on the door.

Paddy- Hurry up Max!!! I’m spitting feathers here!!

Max indicates towards Paddy and Judith looks round briefly

Judith- How very ……
Max- You? I mean …… (he tries to think of a chat up line), I haven’t seen you around before ……
Judith- Oh, I just did a little job for Mr Potter.
Max- Oh I see.
Paddy- Max!!!!

Max looks back at Paddy

Max- I’d better …… erm …… (gestures to Paddy)
Judith- Of course.

Max starts to leave. Judith stops him.

Judith- Max. Would you like to go for a drink tomorrow night?
Max- Well, I don’t know …… I’d have to talk to my Mum. She might be doing gammon for my tea.

Judith’s face falls.

Max- No …… I … I’d love to have a drink with you. That would be very nice, thank you.

Judith smiles and she hands him her phone number. Max takes the paper and Judith walks past him and out the door. Paddy eyes her up as she walks past him. Confusion crossing his features. Max appears next to him.

Paddy- Who were that?
Max- Judith (He hands a brew to Paddy) We’re having a drink tomorrow night.


ENDING #1:
Paddy- It’s the auction tomorrow night.
Max- So?
Paddy- We told Potter we’d do it.
Max- Do what?
Paddy- Go up for auction. Tomorrow night you’ll be up on t’stage wearing a loin cloth, being bid on by a bevvy of …… women
Max- Oh ‘Ell!!! What shall I do?
Paddy- You could always invite her along ……
Max- She wouldn’t approve …… she’s a lady!!

After a beat ……

Paddy- O’ course she is ……
Max- What’s that s’posed to mean???
Paddy- Nothing. Nothing at all.

Max looks at him for a beat and then continues.

Max- Well it is for charity. I’m sure she wouldn’t object ……


ENDING #2:

Paddy- You sure you want to do that?
Max- Why?
Paddy- She’s just a bit ……
Max- A bit what?
Paddy- Do you not think she’s ……
Max- What??? She’s a lovely lady ……

Paddy pauses

Paddy- A lovely lady …… o’ course she is ……


Don't think it's hugely brilliant, but like I keep saying, thoughts and comments welcome -- I won't let my artistic temperament get the better of me ..... much!!!! ;)
