File:Members.tripod.com/paulspecialkaye/11f20c60.jpg Perfect World is a television show that ran from February 25th 2000 to 25th June 2001. It is set around the life of Bob Slay, a marketing executive for a leading tolietries, Bob has a swish office, a bikini-on-a-stick supermodel girlfriend and is well regarded by his manager. All of which is massively surprising, as he is the most obnoxious, lazy, amoral phoney to ever put his highly-polished shoes to rest on the office table!
The television show was written by Mark Grant (who would later go on to write Star) and Mark Chapman who was a co-writer for the second series and provided additional material for the first series. Mark Chapman also directed the first series and produced both series a with Nick Wood directing the second. The shows other producer was Lucy Robinson (who produced the first Dennis Pennis installment and played the mayoress in The Thin Blue Line) and had executive producers Danielle Lux (All About Me) and Charles Brand (The Comic Strip Presents...).

Quotes/Reviews
Paul Kaye said in an interview regarding the series- "I've never really worked in an office but it was the way I imagined you'd keep sane - I mean an office is sort of like an extended playground, isn't it? So the guy does absolutely no work and the only way he can relieve the tedium is by behaving despicably and I think the whole office would actually be sad if he left because it would suddenly be all very mundane. I mean I'm sure that's the case in a lot of real offices - it's like on reality-TV shows, everyone quite likes the bad guy in the Big Brother house, really."
Tasche de Vasconcelos who plays Lauren in the first series said- "It's a great show, I'm just so proud to have been able to do it. It's brilliantly written". She later went on to describe Paul as "a wonderful actor and co-partner he was so professional".
This is a review of the first episode of series one- "The stylish opening to this new office-centered, six-part situation comedy introduces Bob Slay, the ultimate marketing man. Paul Kaye (well known as spoof interviewer Dennis Pennis), stars as a slick and selfish operator with a saccharine tongue who occasionally justifies his behaviour in asides to the camera. His only real area of vulnerability is his parentage - he was abandoned as a baby. That makes him particularly nervous when he has to meet his gorgeous girlfriend Lauren's parents for the first time. The plotting is quite convoluted in this distinctly adults-only opener, but it has its moments. The best of them involve the marketing director, played by Michael Cochrane as a sex-mad monster who steals all the best lines. Even he confesses to being a little over-eager with Lauren's mother, played by Jan Harvey."

Criticisms With Series Two
Series Two didn’t have to many differences to the first series but the small changes it did have caused certain criticisms by reports of the show. One of the changes criticised was that the Marketing Directors character had become much more of a central character and with this came many more sexual innuendos and references, to which some people believed was simply too rude for the style of the show. Another criticism was made due to Paul Kaye’s new haircut, which was long, black and in many episodes rather scruffy, this gave the feel that Bob Slay wasn’t as organised as he was in the first series and that he wasn’t to sensitive to what people thought of his image which couldn’t be more opposite to his true ambitions.
Releases
Perfect World Series One was released on VHS in 2000, it lasted approximately 174 minutes and was rated 18, presumably for the Marketing Directors sexual implications and Bob Slays use of the F word in Love. The video has been discontinued and there is no plans for releasing Series One or Two to be released on DVD.

Perfect World

It is set around the life of Bob Slay, a marketing executive for a leading tolietries, Bob has a swish office, a bikini-on-a-stick supermodel girlfriend and is well regarded by his manager. All of which is massively surprising, as he is the most obnoxious, lazy, amoral phoney to ever put his highly-polished shoes to rest on the office table!
The television show was written by Mark Grant (who would later go on to write Star) and Mark Chapman who was a co-writer for the second series and provided additional material for the first series.

Quotes/Reviews
Paul Kaye said in an interview regarding the series- "I've never really worked in an office but it was the way I imagined you'd keep sane - I mean an office is sort of like an extended playground, isn't it? So the guy does absolutely no work and the only way he can relieve the tedium is by behaving despicably and I think the whole office would actually be sad if he left because it would suddenly be all very mundane. I mean I'm sure that's the case in a lot of real offices - it's like on reality-TV shows, everyone quite likes the bad guy in the Big Brother house, really."
Tasche de Vasconcelos who plays Lauren in the first series said- "It's a great show, I'm just so proud to have been able to do it. It's brilliantly written". She later went on to describe Paul as "a wonderful actor and co-partner he was so professional".
This is a review of the first episode of series one- "The stylish opening to this new office-centered, six-part situation comedy introduces Bob Slay, the ultimate marketing man. Paul Kaye (well known as spoof interviewer Dennis Pennis), stars as a slick and selfish operator with a saccharine tongue who occasionally justifies his behaviour in asides to the camera. His only real area of vulnerability is his parentage - he was abandoned as a baby. That makes him particularly nervous when he has to meet his gorgeous girlfriend Lauren's parents for the first time. The plotting is quite convoluted in this distinctly adults-only opener, but it has its moments. The best of them involve the marketing director, played by Michael Cochrane as a sex-mad monster who steals all the best lines. Even he confesses to being a little over-eager with Lauren's mother, played by Jan Harvey."

Criticisms With Series Two
Series Two didn’t have to many differences to the first series but the small changes it did have caused certain criticisms by reports of the show. One of the changes criticised was that the Marketing Directors character had become much more of a central character and with this came many more sexual innuendos and references, to which some people believed was simply too rude for the style of the show. Another criticism was made due to Paul Kaye’s new haircut, which was long, black and in many episodes rather scruffy, this gave the feel that Bob Slay wasn’t as organised as he was in the first series and that he wasn’t to sensitive to what people thought of his image which couldn’t be more opposite to his true ambitions.
Perfect World Series One was released on VHS in 2000, it lasted approximately 174 minutes and was rated 18, presumably for the Marketing Directors sexual implications and Bob Slays use of the F word in Love. The video has been discontinued and there is no plans for releasing Series One or Two to be released on DVD.

Maze de Boer
Maze de Boer is an artist who lives and works in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
In his work he shows a fascination for illusion. The spectator becomes aware of ‘the bounds’ of reality and always appears to be the object of his three-dimensional work. The participant takes part in his ‘performance’ by simply being present and by experiencing the environment. de Boer starts from a staged view on reality and seeks the boundaries between theatre and visual art.
His films and video work have been screened at various festivals.
Just like his three-dimensional work, his films show a both realist as well as absurdist view on the environment.
As a director, musician and designer Maze de Boer is working with other film makers, musicians and theatre directors.
Education
Maze de Boer studied art at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam.
He is also selected to the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in 2007.

No real evidence exists proving prine Madocs story was real but Prince madocs story first appeared in writting in 1582 A.d. (this was about 500 years after his voyage)in a bbook by Richard Hakluyt a sixteenth centry english geographer. Prince madoc's story has also been located in the abbey of Strata Florida in South wales. in 1805 the poet Robert Southey wrote an epic poem based on oral history. some say archeologists dug up his family crest more than 900 years later. This is the evidence of Prince Madoc of wales.
