Spit-ballin', ideas, and Changes

​

Kelsey and I got together to discuss how things were going and where we wanted to be going. Since the last meeting about work, we had both had more thoughts on the show and potential scenes/future scenes. As someone who is forever coming up with dumb bits, I had a few B plot ideas. Obviously, we don’t expect to make an episode with both an A and B plot for a long time, however, we could maybe use a part of this plot to make up a little skit.

The idea:

​

• The high school has a yearly 1st-year disco, the kind where you pay 50p for a juice box and the DJ hits you with the Cha Cha Slide while you're down the corridor in the bathroom. This annual disco is always had the same teacher DJ-ing (let's call them Carl for ease of explaining), but this year the new substitute teacher (Alexander) wants to give being the DJ a shot. Carl isn’t willing to give up his position that easily though which leads to DJ composition being held. Alexander, who has never been a DJ before is on the verge of giving up before he’s even tried. He is then approached by another teacher who offers to train him in the way of the children's disco DJ. This teacher is an old man in a wheelchair with a strong Scottish accent who used to be the School’s go-to DJ, however, after a suspicious accident, he was left wheelchair-bound and unable to DJ… This leads to a Rocky-like training montage where the old teacher teaches Alexander all the typical dances and music cues. After some hardcore DJ training, Alexander then goes against not only Carl, but other teachers who decided to accept Carl’s challenge. One by one, all the other teachers make mistakes in the dances and with the tech, until it is just Carl and Alexander.
  
  I haven’t decided who would win yet, or if it is revealed that Carl was responsible for the old teacher’s accident before he does the same to Alexander.
  
  Minor side note; the reason he’s called Alexander is due to this bit started by me stating that adding the name “Ali” after any word makes it sound more Scottish, especially if said in a heavy Scottish accent. So, after some joking back and forth about this with my partner, this whole bit started to come together.

Kelsey agrees this would be a fun B plot, and It was then they told me exactly why they had an issue with the name “Imagine Harry.” Although Harry was the key quirk to the show’s main premise, since we’ve been expanding on storylines, we’ve not once come-up with one based around Harry… While we don’t want to get rid of Harry, Kelsey did make a good point about changing the title to focus more on the twins.

When trying to come up with names related to the twins, I asked if they had a last name for the twins and Taylor yet, and they didn’t yet. They said they wanted to come up with a ridiculously Scottish last name for them, which I jokingly yelled “MC’DOUGALL!” and we tried titles with a mock family name. However, there wasn’t a title we could come up with using their surname that didn’t sound like a cheesy family sitcom. I brought up a name for a live-action show idea, “Child-Like Mind”, which Kelsey liked but I wasn’t ready to give to another project. We then started exploring ideas like “twin connection”, “Likewise”, and “Same Waveline” - because I forgot the correct phrase “Same wavelength.” However, my mistake lead to Kelsey coming up with “Twin Line” as the current new show title. It’s more than likely to change though since we’re both are extremely indecisive.
