**Laurence Blunderclatch** is a character in *Not For Broadcast*.

## Description

Laurence Blunderclatch is an actor and guest on the National Nightly News, best known for his starring roles as Sergeant Brock Rockman in *Bullet Man*, where he received 2 Best Actor Awards, and as Doctor Lance Hemlock in *The Medicated*. Additionally, he has acted in several Shakespeare productions and in the Shotbot film franchise.

## Personality

Laurence, when in the presence of the public, gives off the facade of being one who is humble and kind, motivated by inspiring others through his media. That perception is instead shattered when behind the scenes, as he becomes someone much more hostile and argumentative, frequently yelling at those around him.

## History

### Episode 1

#### Day 1: The Election

*Main article:* Day 1: The Election
Laurence Blunderclatch first appears on the second segment of Day 1, being introduced in the ad break prior to his interview. He complains to his agent, Rob, about doing more than one interview per day when only one was agreed on, demanding that his contract is checked. Following that, he threatens Rob when he discovers that his provided bagel isn't whole wheat.

Once the cameras go live, Megan Wolfe introduces Blunderclatch, thanking him for coming on. He returns the thanks, stating that being on the news is among one of the greatest joys of his life. Megan then asks him about what it was like in his most recent film, *The Medicated*.

In response, Laurence exclaims that the film's production was a wild ride, giving praise to the director of the film, Peter Jensen, calling him a wonderful chap. He then discusses the difficulty of playing his character in the film, Doctor Lance Hemlock, claiming it was a complete departure from his previous role as Sergeant Brock Rockman in *Bullet Man*. When Megan comments on the two best actor awards from the role, Blunderclatch slyly responds by saying that he's not in it for the awards, although the three little statues do take pride of place on his mantelpiece.

When asked what drives him to act, he gives a cryptic response about suffering for one's audience. He goes on to mention that he is motivated by the change he can make in the world by inspiring others. Megan uses his response to segway into a different topic, asking him for his opinion on the election's result. He expresses discomfort, then answering that when it comes to politics, one should always strive to not mess it up.

Megan, following his answer, claims that he brought in a clip from *The Medicated*, which opens the following week around the country, requesting to be informed of what happens in the clip. He obliges, stating that it's a pivotal scene where his character in the film is faced with a decision that could affect humanity's very survival.

In the preview, he, as Dr. Lance Hemlock, studies a set of notes and expresses confusion at them, sliding them off a desk moments after. While he's doing so, he's reassured by Hana Flannigan, played by Helena Canterbury-Boatshoe, who tells him that an unknown event is not his fault. They share a brief kiss before Hana pulls away and tells Laurence that they shouldn't kiss, reminding him of his wife Carol. Hana is slapped by him in response, falling to the floor while he expresses his regrets to a photograph of his wife. Hana stands back up from the ground with a piece of paper, urging Laurence to read it, and he obliges after initial hesitation. Laurence comments on the contents the paper contains, stating that the virus, the sterility, and the formula on the page is the key to stopping their problems. Both he and Hana realize that they must decide in the moment if they should act on their findings, and dramatic music plays as they look towards the camera.

Following the interview, whilst the film's preview is being played, Laurence demands that Rob get the car and that they're out of there. Jenny walks up to him, claiming that she knows that he's upset, but gets interrupted by Laurence, angry that Megan brought up politics which put him on the spot in an embarrassing situation. He asks them what kind of operation they're running before turning to Rob, telling him that he'll be at the Dorset and should send up a bottle of scotch and a whole ham, adding on that it's in his contract.

*Main article:* Day 296: The Heatwave
If the Flardmaster 5000 was announced on Day 153 and a positive public reaction was given to Flards on Day 232, a potential Rymmington-Svist headline reveals that Laurence and Helena Canterbury-Boatshoe, who are rumoured to be mortal enemies, are to reunite in celebration of their one mutual love in the movie *Die Flard*. Regarding the movie, Sophia Rymmington calls Laurence the real hero of their age, and claims that it's only right that he takes centre stage in the no-holes Flard action-thriller.

### Episode 3

#### Day 1975: The Sterility

*Main article:* Day 1975: The Sterility

Laurence will appear at the red carpet premiere of *The Automated*, a reworking of *The Medicated*, which was mysteriously pulled before its release. Stacey claims off-camera to have seen the original "on pirate" at her group home, and while watching the clip of *The Automated*, claims that they ruined the film.

There are four variations of Laurence's appearance. In two of them, he will be seen carrying the urn of Helena Canterbury-Boatshoe, who has died by this point. In two of them, he will be somewhat rude or antagonistic toward Robyn Shorte, representing the NNN on the red carpet for this interview. The variation which airs depends on whether Alex Winston showed Laurence losing it in the studio during Day 1: The Election, and whether they played ads from Eye of the Beholder, which features Helena Canterbury-Boatshoe.
