They're saying it's rude, | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
playing that damn piano, night after night. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
Isn't it? Well? | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
I know, Leonard. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
And every day I write notes. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
Yes. Every day. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
And they haven't taken a blind bit of notice, have they? | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
No, Leonard. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
HE GRUMBLES I haven't slept properly for weeks. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
I know. You keep saying. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
As I said, | 0:01:27 | 0:01:33 | |
time and time again, | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |
you are being very inconsiderate | 0:01:37 | 0:01:42 | |
playing the piano | 0:01:42 | 0:01:47 | |
in the middle of the night. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:51 | |
Yours sincerely, | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
Leonard from upstairs. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:59 | |

-I don't think they're home. -No, doesn't seem so. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:31 | |
Be nice to know what they look like, living in my house, as they do. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:37 | |
It's not just your house any more. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
Don't you think I know that? | 0:04:39 | 0:04:40 | |
They're being selfish, that's what it is. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
Selfish. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
Perhaps it's time to try a new approach. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
An invitation, perhaps. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:51 | |
Anything for a decent night's sleep. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |

Half four, I said. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
-They're probably just out somewhere. -Out? All they seem to do is go out. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
Go out and play that bloody piano! | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
Your idea, this was, making me look like a bloody fool. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
It was just an idea. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
I'm sick of your new ideas, they bring me nothing but trouble. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:43 | |
I don't want you here any more. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
-You don't mean that. -I do. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
But you need me. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:50 | |
I thought so too, but it's not right. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:55 | |
Not any more. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:57 | |
But I'm all you've got. | 0:05:57 | 0:05:59 | |
All the more reason. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:03 | |
Go! | 0:06:06 | 0:06:08 | |

-James. -I'm not coming. -What? | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
I just said, I'm not coming. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
Will you stop that racket, boy?! | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
Don't listen, son, keep playing. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |

Keep playing, son. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:13 | |
It's not fair. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
I carried your picture in my pocket, | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
-and to think all that time you were with HIM! -Stop. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |

Maybe it was better that way. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:39 | |

Don't bother, then. What do you care? | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |

To you upstairs, | 0:11:31 | 0:11:35 | |
I don't know what you're doing up there, | 0:11:35 | 0:11:41 | |
but I can hardly think for all that banging around. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:48 | |
You there, boy? | 0:11:59 | 0:12:00 | |
Yes, Leonard. I'm here. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:06 | |

PIANO, TICKING STOPS | 0:12:13 | 0:12:15 | |
Leonard's Neighbours came from | 0:13:29 | 0:13:31 | |
when I lived on Cathedral Road, | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
in a flat, | 0:13:34 | 0:13:35 | |
and I'd go into care homes and I'd choose a scene for each week, | 0:13:35 | 0:13:39 | |
and we'd sort of take in prompts and we'd do a poem or a short story, | 0:13:39 | 0:13:43 | |
or we'd be writing postcards and things like that. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:46 | |
'I'm interested in people. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:50 | |
'I like hearing about them. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:52 | |
'I just take things on, I absorb things, and then,' | 0:13:52 | 0:13:56 | |
when it comes to sit down to write things, | 0:13:56 | 0:13:58 | |
it all comes flooding out and I think, "That's really interesting, | 0:13:58 | 0:14:01 | |
"that person said this happened to them," and it's like, "Yeah, | 0:14:01 | 0:14:03 | |
"I'm going to steal that and write about it," but change the names. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
So when I wrote the script, | 0:14:10 | 0:14:11 | |
which I set in Pontcanna, with a Leonard... | 0:14:11 | 0:14:16 | |
We now have an actual Leonard. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
As I said... | 0:14:18 | 0:14:23 | |
And also I wrote my Leonard character as Jewish, | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
-and you are also Jewish, aren't you? -Yes. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:29 | |
So there's actually quite a few parallels | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
that are quite interesting. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:32 | |
But you would have been the Leonard, I think, | 0:14:32 | 0:14:35 | |
if my Leonard had had a nicer life | 0:14:35 | 0:14:37 | |
and done a bit more for himself, like you've done, | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
and travelled the world. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:41 | |
I'd like to think he would have been a bit more like you, | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
rather than how he is now, because my Leonard's not very happy. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:48 | |
Yours sincerely, | 0:14:48 | 0:14:51 | |
Leonard from upstairs. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:55 | |
You know, someone asked me how I heard about It's My Shout today, | 0:14:59 | 0:15:03 | |
and I think I just saw it on Facebook, | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
and it was the first script I've ever written, | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
so I didn't expect to get anywhere. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
So this year we had 250 scripts, over 250 script submissions, | 0:15:12 | 0:15:17 | |
which is the most we've ever had. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:19 | |
Once we have the final 50, | 0:15:19 | 0:15:22 | |
we have people from the BBC, BBC Wales, | 0:15:22 | 0:15:25 | |
who will read the final 50, as well as Kurt Thomas, | 0:15:25 | 0:15:28 | |
who is the script development mentor. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:31 | |
They all read the top 50 and come to the top ten, each, | 0:15:31 | 0:15:36 | |
which is then around the table, | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
people from It's My Shout as well as the BBC will come | 0:15:39 | 0:15:43 | |
up with the final nine films. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
So, yeah. And I think what the panel really liked | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
about Leonard's Neighbours | 0:15:52 | 0:15:53 | |
was the fact that it was quite accomplished, | 0:15:53 | 0:15:56 | |
especially now knowing that it's the first script that Jodie has ever | 0:15:56 | 0:16:00 | |
written, it's quite an accomplishment for her too. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:03 | |
Your idea, this was, making me look like a bloody fool. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:09 | |
It was just an idea. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:11 | |
I'm sick of you and your ideas. You bring me nothing but trouble. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:14 | |
Where is the key? | 0:16:19 | 0:16:20 | |
Leonard, where is the key? | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
I don't know, I put it somewhere. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:24 | |
-I forget now. -Sit down! | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
-Why are you in this room? -Casting is interesting. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
I mean, it's my first-ever casting, | 0:16:30 | 0:16:32 | |
so to have it as my first film is a little bit surreal. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:36 | |
And action! | 0:16:36 | 0:16:38 | |
It's a real strong character piece, kind of heavy on theme, | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
that's something I really wanted to do. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
So, yeah, I really jumped at that chance | 0:16:50 | 0:16:51 | |
and ideas started popping | 0:16:51 | 0:16:53 | |
and I think you know that when you get into a script, | 0:16:53 | 0:16:56 | |
you know this is the one I wanted to go for. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:58 | |
Are you saying it's unlevel? | 0:16:58 | 0:16:59 | |
Is it the monitor? | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
-Oh, the monitor is unlevel. So look on this one. -Oh, OK, yeah. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
It's enjoyable watching all the crew and the cast and everyone together. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
It's enjoyable standing at the back and seeing how everyone does it. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:11 | |
But the weird thing is hearing someone say your words | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
that you've been poring over for months and months and months. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:23 | |
James, are you ready? | 0:17:23 | 0:17:25 | |
-SHE SIGHS -James. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:27 | |
And also what they do with those words, | 0:17:27 | 0:17:29 | |
so in my mind it sounded different, | 0:17:29 | 0:17:30 | |
so then they say it and I'm like, | 0:17:30 | 0:17:32 | |
"Wow, that's actually... That's really sad." | 0:17:32 | 0:17:34 | |
-James. -I'm not coming. -What? | 0:17:34 | 0:17:39 | |
I just said, I'm not coming. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:41 | |
Would you stop with that damn racket?! | 0:17:41 | 0:17:43 | |
Yeah, but it's nice to have it kind of brought to life. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:48 | |
But, yeah, a really odd experience. Cool, though. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:51 |
