Pretend Room 13 Simple Advice for Struggling Writers

David Mitchell and Robert Webb revisit their E.M. Forster sketches in another unpredictable episode of Pretend Room. What begins as a conversation about Forster quickly spirals into Carry On films, favorite adaptations of A Room with a View and Maurice, the reality of writing comedy, unbearably warm Edwardian clothing, Scott of the Antarctic and the surprisingly long life of the phrase “don’t touch that dial.” Along the way, Mitchell and Webb share memories from filming, debate whether writing is really that difficult and repeatedly attempt to finish the video without getting distracted again.
