No Idea Still No IdeaNo Idea
Synopsis:
This is a picture of Rachael and Lisa. If they were in a show, what kind of show it would be? Who would you choose to play the main character? Who would you choose to be the funny one? Armed with a tape recorder, Rachael and Lisa went on to the streets and asked people what they thought their show should be about. What they heard and recorded was funny, heartfelt, sometimes staggering but always very very revealing about what we can (and can't) imagine when we look at someone.

Top of PageStill No Idea
Best mates Lisa and Rachael are making a new show almost a decade after they created their first piece together. Back then they had no idea where to start so they went onto the streets and asked the public. What story should they tell? What characters should they play? When they saw Lisa in a wheelchair and Rachael not, what the public said was funny, jaw-dropping and ultimately heartbreaking. They made a show about it. It was called No Idea. Now people say the world has changed and things are looking up. There are more disabled people in the mainstream media, Lisa landed a big part on TV and disabled mates are getting regular auditions - happy days. So what kind of exciting stories are the TV professionals dreaming up for them? Still No Idea is the whole story (so far): the British public, the professional writers, the TV execs. Part verbatim theatre, part improv, part comedy sketch show, this is a raucous and mischievous expose of good intentions gone bad and how sometimes no matter how hard we try, we still have absolutely no idea.
