May the 11th
I send a message to Scott a comedian writer animator known as Yielding on the site and ask if we could work together he says yes, we agree that our audience is world wide and just say to him pick from a Star Trek or Star Wars audio sketch I'd already done he picks Star Wars.

The animation is featured on myspace comedy page and we go onto over 30,000 views we are both very happy
June the 15th
Comedybox see's the animation and ask me in for a meeting.
Scott and I have been working on a second episode and agree to show Comedybox as soon as it done.
July the 3rd
The second episode is done and Comedybox love it and call me in for a meeting
They commission 12 episodes Scott and I are over the moon.
We start work on the series and talk all day every day as this is our dream and all we want to do is work we are in shock and don't believe its happening but both agree we must know create something very special..
July the 18th
Comedybox has its comedy night in Soho and the second episode is shown I am blown away by the reaction as it was a club and not the comfort of home so I didn't no if people would like it they did, I rush home and talk to Scott we are buzzing at the reaction and spend the next weeks talking over Yahoo messenger go over the episodes and basicly live in each others pockets.
July the 23rd
I record the audio for episode 8 and email it over to Scott I wait all night for him to come online he doesn't I send message's all week no reply.
July the 28th
I'm beyond pissed off with him as the contract arrived on Friday and I needed to talk to him before signing.
Saturday morning Scotts name flashes up on Yahoo messenger he calls me but he's mic doesn't work these words are typed.
"This is Scott's brother"
"I'm sorry Terry I have bad news Scott was found dead on Thursday"
He died 2 days before he's 36th birthday and a day before the contract came.
You may think why put all this up, but Scott was my friend and comedy partner and I feel I should say something and well I don't know I just feel like people should know, as this page is about me and I've never blogged before, and I'll never have a greater story to tell.
Even though Scott didn't get to make the series he had worked hard and got to this stage and I feel he's life should be celebrated and marked.
Scott I'll miss you and never forget you I'll go on to make the series but at the moment I'm lost in grief.
Love Terry
