A novel by IAN REID


THE FAME GAME IS A KILLER…
Sex, celebrity, murder…
‘You may call this a confession if you like, but don’t call
it an apology…’
So begins the outrageous TRUE story of Vince Poll, an
ambitious killer working his way up the greasy pole on the soap opera, Lark
Lane. Vince joins the show as a lowly
runner, but he has big dreams; dreams that don’t include any competitors. He
plans to make it to the very top, by any means necessary. He kills for advancement and he kills for
fun, but most of all he kills for love.
The unrequited love of his life is soap legend, Anita
Chantelle. He has to have her…
…at any cost.

Zoe Kazan proves that TELEVISIONLAND is a documentary.



Although TELEVISIONLAND  may seem in many ways to be a gross caricature of life in television.  Startling evidence keeps emerging which shows it is nothing more than the truth.  From the details of Roger Ailes' behaviour at Fox, to Zoe Kazan's revelations in today's Guardian. 

Journalist Emma Brockes asked Zoe Kazan:  Was she ever directly propositioned...?

To which Kazan replied:

“No. I mean. Hmmm.” There is a long pause. “Like, I had a producer ask me on set once if I spat or swallowed. At work. He’d say, ‘Oh, it’s a joke, ha ha.’ But he was also paying my cheque and then watching me from the monitor as I made out with another actor – so when he tells me I look good, it feels different.

This is exactly Vince Poll's behaviour pattern in TELEVISIONLAND.

TELEVISIONLAND is  documentary.
