So.  Just what was Grant Morrison pitching earlier in the week, in his phat purple suit?

Could it be The Invisibles TV series that BBC Scotland have been coveting for 15 years?

Gangster No. 1 director Paul McGuigan let the cat out of the bag at the weekend that he was collaborating with Morrison on a new project, describing it as 'very interesting'

Then on Tuesday he revealed: 

Pitching meeting today. Grant Morrison out-dressed me with his purple suit. I need to up my game.Pitching meeting today. Grant Morrison out-dressed me with his purple suit. I need to up my game.

Then Rich Johnston threw Stephen Fry's name into the mix, claiming it was a project for BBC Scotland, and hinting at a sci-fi series.

It's no secret that PQ's been envious of BBC Wales getting all the plumb drama series and serials, while it gets lumbered with factual and LE shit.  

Phoo Action was seen in some quarters as being their chance to produce something unique and quirky to rival Torchwood, at least - until the farce that followed, with the show being abandoned in strange circumstances just days before filming started, with cast and crew gathered in Glasgow ready to start filming at the River City studios in Dumbarton... and at a cost of a cool half mil.

A BBC Scotland adaptation of the Invisibles has been mooted for … well, most of the comic's life.  Flick back through your old copies of SFX magazine, back when it was called SEX and made some horrific cover image choices.  Back in issue one, with Lori Petty and a lurid pink spine, you'll find a reference to it then.  So we're talking at least 15 years of the idea kicking about.

Of course, they could be pitching something else entirely.  Fry on the Invisibles seems an odd choice, if Johnston is correct (and, Dr Who stories aside, he usually is).  Grant was linked with BBC Scotland's arse-numbingly shit Invasion: Earth a decade ago, before Jed Mercurio landed the short straw.  So perhaps they fancy doing a new SF series.

Or perhaps they were just at The Hub having a coffee.
