Quote: Matthew Stott @ October 15 2008, 1:36 PM BSTIt might be pointed out that there is a show called The Inbetweeners though; much like Oddbox getting knocked back because of Meebox and Snuffbox-Oddbox is still the best title so far though!
That's very true.

I just did that joke Griff!!!
Quote: Griff @ October 15 2008, 1:47 PM BSTHow about Corpsing? It has the "death" and "laughing" concepts all in one.
I like that, but I know what Lee will say. Also, how many people know what corpsing is?
Quote: Dolly Dagger @ October 15 2008, 1:54 PM BST'Corpsing' sounds like a sitcom set in a funeral parlour, with characters including a short-sighted and inept hearse driver, an eternally and inapproriately happy boss (his catchphrase is "remember there's 'fun' in 'funeral') and a tactless receptionist.
The business is overseen by the boss's dad, a tight-fisted man always coming up with money making schemes like a special range of funeral party ware - including funeral bag for guest to take home.

Surely EVERYONE know the term corpsing thanks to Dennis Norden?

We'll co-write it Griff.
A gay fashion student (think Gok Wan) from the local college is hired as the make-up artist, but applying his wacky trendy ideas to the corpses ends in hilarious consequences (but not for the grieving families)

Let me get back to you on that sometime.

We'd be like those two blokes out of Tears For Fears - just keep falling out and slagging each other off.
As for a title - I got nothing. Though what about a pun on Strangeways? As in Strange Ways.

Okay, but we need to capture a zeitgeist so don't leave it too long.
