Heaven's Gate ends! And other stuff!

Another week, another quantity of thrilling entertainment spewed out by Clever Dicks Productions, like a hilarious but sickly goat vomiting comedy puke over your head. Sadly, one of the offerings swimming in this week's pool of hilarity vomit was the very absolutely last ever episode of Heaven's Gate.

Yes, it is a tragedy. But we've got lots of other wonderful things up our sleeve which will be taking its place in future weeks. I'll abandon the vomit analogy now - I don't want vomit up my sleeve, that would be horrid.

We also released episode six of Forgive Me Father!

Unlike Heaven's Gate, this series doesn't stop at six. Not even close, it goes on for ages. But there are lots of twists and turns to come, so you won't get bored, honest. Unless you have a very short attention span - in which case, don't worry! There's a special version just for you, which also doubles as a handy recap for everyone else. Here's the first six episodes in under a minute:

And that's not all! We released another video this week too! Four videos in one week? Surely not? Yes, we surely did! The next one is a thrilling reading from Clever Dick Holly's exciting zombie novella read by no less than the very author herself! And if you wonder why she's 'wearing' a hat, well, all I can say is, that's what happens when you grumble about your hair being a mess.

So that's everything that happened last week. Then at the weekend we got together to film some more wonderful sketches to feed our public's insatiable demand for new material, like some demonic colonial overlord, or a Pharaoh who can never seem to have enough pyramids. And now it's Monday and the whole process starts all over again!

Your weekly Clever Dicks roundup

It's been another utterly exciting week for anyone with the sense to follow what's been released by "the Dicks", as I imagine we're fondly referred to in gentlemen's clubs and speakeasies throughout the land. In fact I presume those aforesaid speakeasies are full of gangster types who are all "Say, Knuckles, have you seen what dem Dicks has been and gone and done dis week? See, for starters, see, dey released a new episode of dat Forgive Me Father hinky. It's about dis cat, see, who's telled hisself dat he's helping dis broad by keepin' an eye on her and dat, but really dat bird is just stalkin' the dame."

Then he'd probably pull out a kinetoscope and show them this.

"And you know what else dem Dicks has done? Dey's been and gone and released extracts from dey's books dat you can read on youse kindle and dem don't cost a dime! Now dat sure is a sweet deal! Dere's one dat's about all time travel and moider and dat!

The Trawler Man

And den dere's annuder one dat's all about zombies and moider and dat!

Naked Face Eating Zombies From Romford

And den dere's annuder one dat's all about moider and moider and dat!

Killing Elizabeth"

"How boss, how'd you do dem hyperlinks in speech like dat?"

"Shut youse yapper, Knuckles, I'm tryin' to tell you about what else dem Dicks has done! Dey's gone and been and done and released annuder episode of dat Heaven's Gate dingus! It beats me how dey's so prolific! Dis one's a bit of terrific coz at first look it seems like some wacky toon dat'll make youse laugh till youse sick, but dere's all dese deep philosophical points dat it's makin' only youse don't realise dat when youse watchin' it coz youse too busy laughin' youse head off!"

Then he'd get out the kinetoscope again and show them this.

So that's what I assume has been going on in speakeasies this week.

Two new videos for you to point your face at

Did you watch Forgive Me Father on Monday? No you didn't, because you were waiting for us to announce it on the blog? You really shouldn't do that, we're not very reliable. Well here it is then:

Are you gripped by the exciting story? I hope so. But it's rather dark, so let's lighten the mood with the brand new episode of Heaven's Gate!

There, you're all up to date now. Next week, try to watch them without me having to tell you. I'm not your mum.

The 48 Hour Challenge!!!!

There were some hilarious japes along the way to making our entry for the Colchester Film Festival 48 Hour challenge wot we took part in and all that.

I spent well over SIX HOURS on the project and almost all of that was actually doing stuff. There was no lunch or crisps or jelly babies or cups of coffee or tea or anything like that and there was certainly no time for watching Rupaul’s Drag Race – that would have a been a ludicrous waste of precious time!

I spent MINUTES, yes! MINUTES! Watching Simon write the script, and the work didn’t stop there! I then had to WAIT while he made the lovely audio into a cartoon.

Also, I would like to add that there is no truth in the allegation that I added any unnecessary singing to the script, the wonderful singing wot I did was utterly fundamental to the script and if I hadn’t demanded that I add it in then the whole thing would have fallen to bits. Utterly and completely.

Well you can judge for yourselves, get your peepers around this then:

 

AND! As if that's not all! Today is MONDAY! And you know what Monday means don't you!? Yes! Its Rent boy day... although technically the actual title of this is 'Forgive Me Father - Episode Three'.

Forgive Me Father - Episode 2

If you haven't spotted it already, episode two of our exciting serial Forgive Me Father has been unleashed upon an unsuspecting public, though frankly we've been banging on about it enough that they've only got themselves to blame for the unsuspecting part. Are you sitting comfortably? Then here it is.

A multiplicity of new releases!

I suppose it goes without saying that yesterday's very exciting screening of some of our films was a tremendous success. As for the fact that it took place in a bus shelter with a skellington in the middle, and our films were shown right at the end so half the audience had gone home... well those things are probably best left unsaid. Let's just focus on the fact that they seemed to go down well with the pitiful fraction of the audience that remained.

As if that's not enough excitement for you, we have an announcement! Are you ready for the announcement? OK, here it is:

Hello! I'm an announcement. I'm here to announce that Clever Dicks Productions will now be posting a new video to their youtube channel every single Monday and every single Thursday! Starting this week! Which is a lot of videos! So you should follow it and that.

"Starting this week?" you say in a mildly puzzled tone. "But I've been checking this blog every single minute in the hope of new entertainment and I know for a fact that there wasn't anything new on Monday." Yes there was! We just forgot to put it on the blog.

Which mean I've got a whole load of videos to show you now. Go and get a cup of tea or something, this will take a while. Unless you were one of the few people who BOTHERED to stick around to the end of the screening, in which case you've already seen them, so I'll let you off.

First up, the one we released on Monday. This is an EXCITING NEW SERIES and is basically what you're going to get every Monday for ages. Unlike most of our stuff it's a dark drama type thing so don't expect it to be hilarious. There's a trailer, you can watch that first:

If that whet your appetite, then you should watch episode one. If it didn't then you should probably just scroll past it to the funny stuff.

Wasn't that exciting? Tune in next Monday to find out what happens next!

Meanwhile on Thursdays we've started another EXCITING NEW SERIES, but this one you are allowed to expect to be hilarious, because it is. We might as well start with the trailer for that one too I suppose.

And now - and this is the last thing for now, I promise - episode one of that wonderful wonderful series! Have I still got your attention? Don't give up now, it's worth it, I promise.

Did you make it all the way down here? Well done! Now go and do something else, your tea's gone cold.
