WHATS GERVAIS'S GOLD NOKIA NUMBER

Hey Who. Finding it difficult entering the world of sitcom writing, join the club. Or help me buy one to whack Gervais over the head then we can steal his gold Nokia mobile and add our name onto his address book. Once our name is on it then we'll be accepted into the highly nepotistic world of the BBC's commisioning people. Or we could try walking down Notting Hill with a large cup of coffee hoping to bump into the blue eyed boy himself (RICHARD CURTIS) and ask for romantic comedy writing tips. Failing this we could just stop writing until the 90's comes into fashion and the 70's sitcom is finally dead and buried. Or just write for another channel. Any advice for a frustrated writer that has been rejected six times by the BBC.

Stop submitting to the BBC.

Right that was simple...should have thought of that one...i'll write
to Richard and judy

I wasn't being totally sarcastic. Maybe your style isn't suited to them? There's ITV1(lol), Channel 4, FIVE(lol), SKY ONE(lol), Paramount, MTV(maybe?).

Richard & Judy? You do know Judy died years ago and was replaced by a puppet? Only operated by Richards mysterious third hand.

Where does Dickie's third hand grow from. He would have to have all his clothes specially made. It must be a nightmare for him although he could drive and masturbate at the same time. Every cloud has a silver lining!

You mean he could drive with both hands and still handle the stick?

Hehehehe. He gets a lot of stick too (allegedly)

Stop crying a pull yourself together. So what if it seems like Gervais gets it easy, he did a lot of jobs, made a lot of contacts, before he broke into comedy.

Maybe you're not as good as you think. If you ever submitted anything to me with that attitude, I wouldn't look at it twice.

If you're not willing to except the rejection, then forget about it, do something else. Go on Big Brother, if it's only fame you care about.

I want to be good at writing, not lucky.

And if your serious, I'm sure there are other formats you could write for, like radio, books and a whole world of other opportunities.

Like some Beastie Boys once said, "You've got to fight, for your right, to Wrr-ite!" Or atleast that's what I think they said?

Cor easy tiger...this is my first time en all...i know i've gotta be better... the six rejection letters kinda helped that one along...i do want to write though big brother... na that idea sucks...just like Richards wife's gotta no that he has three hands to beat her with

Sorry, apologies, I was in a weird mood the other day. Good Luck with further submissions.

All the best

Hey no biggy it was my first day on the sight... hows skeggy my bro
lives there i know that isnt comedy but just starting over

Skeggy is bracing, actually it's quite warm today. How's err.. Cognac?

So would I know your brother? Without branding my real name all over these boards, (seeing as his nickname is our surname) my brother is the one who seems to know everyone here.

Probably not i did work there also once at butlins got sacked for well
being lazy basically i hate waiting on tables especially for the lower class
only jesting because i have a big house in france joking as well anywho i've just wrote q quick sample of one of my sitcoms on the other forum and i've started a new sketch idea abou opposites in society i think it'll work

My great-grandmother was engaged to Billy Butlin, if only it lasted I could've been your boss!

I hope he doesnt wear a mask as well... imagine being called Billy Butlin do you think he was a bit of a wall flower at school... what do you think of a sketch show all about oppsites instead of the same old same old do you think Harry Enfield's show was full of his old characters with different accents
