This September: Family Secret (2010)
Too cheap to beon IMDB
All possible cliché used to make that episode. I assume it was so bad that the pilot was the end of the show.
Naturmorts and interiors does not make a movie, how not to make a script one should learn from Jerome K Jerome in his essays about the theatrical cliché of the Nineteenth Century: but they are all there. May be your scriptwriters don't like Jerome K. Jerome. Let him speak! --"THE VILLAIN.
He wears a clean collar and smokes a cigarette; that is how we know he is a villain. In real life it is often difficult to tell a villain from an honest man, and this gives rise to mistakes; but on the stage, as we have said villains wear clean collars and smoke cigarettes, and thus all fear of blunder is avoided.
It is well that the rule does not hold off the stage, or good men might be misjudged. We ourselves, for instance, wear a clean collar-sometimes.
It might be very awkward for our family, especially on Sundays.
He has no power of repartee, has the stage villain. All the good people in the play say rude and insulting things to him, and smack at him, and score off him all through the act, but he can never answer them back-can never think of anything clever to say in return.
"Ha! Ha! Wait till Monday week," is the most brilliant retort that he can make, and he has to get into a corner by himself to think of even that.--
