Thank You For Smoking, a pretty good film about PRs for evil people, is now lined up to become a single-camera comedy for NBC. The series, a continuation of the film, will see the Aaron Eckhart character represent a never-ending series of industries that have justifiably bad reputations. Not sure how this fits in which NBC’s plans to turn away from expensive, scripted comedy, but it could be good.

I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
