Interview  |  Ricky Manning
Old favourite

Picture Do you have a favourite appalling pun title?

Throne For A Loss is dear to my heart because it was my first one. I was pretty much ready to hand in the script and I said, "You know I really don't have a title for this thing yet," and I just came up with a list of about 30 of them, again not knowing how the show was going to go in terms of titles.

I came up with some serious and meaningful [titles] and some just silly, and some just all over the board and I gave them the list and David and Rock both got Throne For A Loss and started laughing and said "Oop, that's it, that's the one" so I said "Okay, that's it then".

Then down the line I grew fond of simple one word titles that had double or triple meanings, like Nerve and Incubator. I love those simple titles that work on several levels and I'm also not beyond the occasional wave to sometime else. Nerve is a Dick Francis book - my wife is a Dick Francis fan so that one was a really backhanded wave to my lovely wife Sheryl as well.
