Doc Brown - Comedian, Rapper and Bloody Good Entertainer

Me & Gervais!

Doc Brown — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 13:34:21 +0000

Kinda hyped right now after one of my own comic heroes called me to join him on his European Tour! That’s right- I’m gonna be Ricky’s sole support starting in Oslo, Norway on April 20th 2012. For more info and tickets click HERE. Wish me luck folks, or as they say in Norweigen: “Lykke til!” (which to me sounds like some inappropriate behaviour with a acash register).

It’s not Nemesis. It’s Hunted.

Word on the street is that the new HBO TV thriller starring Melissa George, Patrick Malahide, Lex Shrapnel and l’il old me (among a host of other superb actors) has gone from a working title of Nemesis to “Hunted”- so now you know what to set your digi-boxes to record in the Winter!

Nice. A brief message to all the fans of the hit CBBC show- I’m proud to say Series 2 is in pre-production and shoots this summer for a January 2013 release. Epic!

My Production Company

Doc Brown — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 13:06:13 +0000

That’s right- I am officially a BOSS, as opposed to just generally being LIKE one. In November 2011 I became the director and founder of Bust-A-Gut Productions Ltd- a boutique production company specialising in: TV, Film and Radio Script Writing & Editing; Soundtrack; Voice Over; Children’s Literature and Creative Consultancy. Whilst we focus on creating new product in-house, we also take submissions from all these areas and hope to support new artists in bringing their work to the mainstream. Contact details will follow shortly on the birth of our website at www.bustagutproductions.co.uk

New Animation for 2012

Doc Brown — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 07:34:38 +0000

Currently in production, I’m working alongside a stellar cast of vocal talents such as John Thompson (Cold Feet, Alan Partridge), Richard Ayoade (IT Crowd, Mighty Boosh, Submarine), Emma Kennedy and more on an incredible new animation from the Japanese studios of Yoshimi & Katoi: Strange Hill High. At a school where nothing is quite as it seems, Mitchell Tanner (me!) and his friends are thrown in at the deep end of a pretty weird pool… Coming to the BBC Summer 2012, courtesy of the good people at Freemantle.

Signed onto new Drama Series for 2012

Doc Brown — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 11:40:12 +0000

Ssssh! Please read this in hushed tones! I have just started shooting a brand new drama/thriller for HBO. I can’t tell you much about it at this juncture except that it’s a spy thriller called Nemesis, created by the executive producer and 8-season writer of the X-Files, Frank Spotnitz,it’s bloody amazing and your boy is all up in there like swimwear. There’s a bit of Wiki on it if you click HERE. Otherwise… Watch this Space!

Ben’s the Actor, Doc’s the Stand Up

Doc Brown — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 11:22:28 +0000

Yeah I know, it’s a little confusing for the hard of thinking. Now that I’m credited with creating a TV series as well as acting, writing etc, I figured it was about time to wheel out the ol’ government name so that a brother could get some official credit for once. Turns out there’s another Ben Smith in the entertainment business somewhere (can you believe that? I always felt my name was so exotic!) so I’ve stuck my Mum’s maiden name in the middle there… That’s right- look out for Ben Bailey Smith on upcoming shows such as BBC’s Strangehill High and HBO’s Nemesis in 2012! And look me up on Spotlight by simply clicking HERE

In the mean time, Doc Brown endures- both in my stand up and my music- forever more! x

In the meantime you can read a bit of industry bumf HERE if you like. Soz, that’s as exciting as it gets for now, but wait til New Years Day mate! Woohoo!

Attack the Block on DVD!

Doc Brown — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 10:54:36 +0000

Joe Cornish’s awesome directorial debut “Attack the Block” is one of the few movies that has mixed sci-fi/horror and kitchen sink humour with aplomb in my opinion and if you haven’t seen it, you now have no excuse as it’s out on DOOVDE so get the hell down to your local Hoomv with immediate effect. I’m plugging the arse out of this movie for a number of reasons: 1 Joe Cornish is the mother flipping man, 2- Big Talk produced it and they are quality, 3- I did a bit of music for it. Okay, okay- mainly 3. Don’t hate me coz I’m beautiful.
