No surprises here. I'd describe it as "crisp, but hasn't found its true identity".
Not another sitcom idea! lol! Page 2

Wow! What a totally unpredictable quip. Ouch!!

Are you a professional comedy writer?

Or is that too harsh?
Far too harsh, how dare you call that rubbish! I spent months of research shadowing quantum physicists reading up Hawking and Einstein's theory of relativity. Everything you see will be based on actual scientific fact! and some conjecture where we take creative license.
I'm afraid you'll find I already solicited a sitcom with the same basic premise to SKY in 1998/7 entitled DR WHY. Lennie Bennet was keen to play the title role alongside Floella Benjamin as "Princess Sputama ". I had just finished writing (and I mean HAND writing) episode 71, (this was 1998/7 don't forget)when there was an incident in rehearsals. My script was scrapped, and Lennie never worked in TV again. I reworked the idea into a film (movie) Dr Why and The Invasion of The Planet of the Cheeky Monkeys. Co-incidentally, this was the first script I ever submitted by email. I have been sending out copys at the rate od five a month; since 2002/3. I am confident someone will snap up the rights before your idea gets off the ground. So I really wouldn't bother pursuing yours till I can verify/confirm. Otherwise I'll see you in court.
Isn't it time the 'Smirk Train' was derailed?

I must have as much time on my hands as whoever this incredibly witty talented man is. I can't help but feel this is all due to the recession
I hope your're not being sarcastic pedros! I may not be talented or witty but erm.... I ...... erm........ yes.
With regards to the recession if you are currently unemployed or a struggling writer, have you ever considered making porn? I think there's a market for comedy porn, I saw one the other day that was verging on political satire.

Alas although a market exists I do not have the physical presence to fulfill such a role.

One of them traveled back in time to my birth. It was fun and scary to watch. Another met with some sort of trans dimesional being on a hill in wales, we spoke of many things.
Etc, etc.
What are you trying to say my alien friend?

Are you?
Quote: Balf @ April 16 2009, 8:55 PM BSTAre you?
I see. You've dodged my question by posing another question - but that's okay because that gives me leave to do the same.
I will answer your question - no, but have been paid for it in the past.

Are you referring to sex with men or women?
Both.
