This is Series 1. Does anyone have series 2?
Mastering the Universe with Dawn French (Series 1)
Christopher Douglas and Nick Newman
2005
Spoiling someone else's pleasure is the most deeply rewarding of all the controlling arts. Feeling cold in restaurants, hiding behind your hair, answering in monosyllables, making a little tutting noise when anyone says something amusing - these are just some of the tried and tested fun-prevention techniques which have been used by miserable sods down the centuries.
With Professor Joy Klamp (Dawn French) as our guide, we'll be taking a punishing journey into the heart of sulkiness. Joy will be putting us in touch with our inner spoilsport and releasing that right bleeding miseryguts who'd rather be seen dead than having a good time.
Not for me, you say, I' m quite a cheerful sort of person generally. Nonsense! How come bad news about your friends always really cheers you up?
Everyone has the right to be a drag and a grumblebottom. You don't have to wear a squashy velvet hat or work for the social services or drive a Fiat Panda. No, sulking transcends the barriers of class, ethnicity and sexual orientation.
Using fake archive material, workshops, role-plays and the very latest interactive sulking technology, Joy will show you the way to tackle knotty problems like how to ruin parties and visits to the cinema, how to spoil a holiday and how to make the most of that migraine. By the end of the series, you will have discovered how Christmas, birthdays, weddings or just an evening in front of the telly can be turned into a complete nightmare for all concerned - apart from yourself of course!
