How has it been having your own sitcom on the television for the past month?
How closely are you monitoring feedback and reaction to it?
Are you a reader of reviews and feedback?
Its odd it being on telly.
Ive not really got my head around it.
I get a massive thrill when the continuity announcers go and now on Channel 4, itsRaised By Wolves.
Those announcers have such silky voices.
I tend to just use it to keep abreast of what Ray Mears and Russell Crowe are up to.
Can you give examples of that?
Id be halfway through writing a scene and start thinking wheres your rising conflict, Moran?
Wheres the button on the end of this scene coming from, ay?
and similar and so would lose momentum.
It harshed my flow, lets say.
You were present throughout the shoot of the show.
Is that you wanting to explore the process?
Do you have plans to direct?
Well, it turns out that directing is not about sitting on a camera crane shouting through a mega-phone.
So no, no plans to direct at this time.
But in the parlance ofThe Truman Show we accept the reality with which were presented.
So when did you appreciate that you had the guts of a comedy show here?
Ive always had a load of sit-com ideas about my person.
Thats just how I roll.
How have your siblings who didnt get recreated in the show taken it?
Are they being lined up for Nick Fury-esque appearances?
Well, Della could have another child…
Guess it all depends how nice given siblings are to me at our next family gathering.
Ill just put that out there and let them make their own decisions.
Raised By Wolvesis a sitcom, that, for want of sounding pretentious, feels authored.
It feels that its genuine to you and Caitlin.
Does that mean that every line of every episode would need to be written by you?
Thats a very nice thing to say.
I guess there is a Moran vibe.
Its tradition with successful sitcoms to do a bad episode set abroad.
All our holidays were on a caravan site, in mid-Wales.
It was called Bedrock, for the record, and was aged and stoic, like a stone Gandalf.
He was a noble rock and I miss him.
Sweet Bedrock…
Youve managed to work your love ofGame Of Thronesinto the scripts.
But whats not made it through the process?
Any favourite moments/nerdy references on the cutting room floor?
Appreciating that theres not a cutting room any more…
I got really into the idea of Lee Rhind calling Aretha Sansa Stark.
Sadly, the idea just didnt fly so that was the end of that.
Though its having its moment now.
In retrospect its not as funny as it seemed at the time.
She could just shout Germaine!
Its all getting a bit racy, so Ill stop there.
Where do you want to take your writing next?
Do you have plans for a Wolverhampton Television Universe?
Im working on a book at the moment.
Its a comedy fantasy.
Whats not to love about capes and shoulder-fur and dragons?
Is television where youve personally had the most fun with your writing?
Finally, whats your favourite Jason Statham movie?
Crank 2: High Voltage, which I saw having missed the first ten minutes and not having seenCrankeither.
This left me unaware of the premise of the film and thus incredibly confused.
you know youre watching a classy film.
Caroline Moran, thank you very much!
Raised By Wolves series one finale, The Dorch, airs on Channel 4 tonight at 10pm.
