Worst idea for a sitcom Page 69

Huzzah!

On the cusses.

2 cheeky London bus drivers with tourettes drive round London chatting up women in miniskirts.

Coming of Rage
Sitcom lovers the world over unite and visit Danny Cohen's office about his questionable comedy commissioning strategy.

Horn and Cordon
Inanimate object double-act, a musical instrument and a length of rope, prove they are funnier than the Gavin and Stacey stars when given their own sitcom. Commissioned by Danny Cohen.

Poor Danny. What's he ever done to warrant this level of abuse? Whistling nnocently

Checkmate!
An American conglomerate buy the worldwide rights to Chess, rename it 'Chess!' and people have to pay a fee for every game they play. When plans come in to colour-code the 'zones' and implement a 'new, innovative, high-scoring system', all hell breaks lose and the grand masters suddenly find themselves union reps for chess players everywhere.

The Wiring
Sitcom spin-off from the popular drama series charters the ongoings of the guys who do most of the legwork in setting up the surveillance equipment. Dave and Jed stand on ladders, plug things in and complain about incorrect coaxial configurations.

Czeck Mate.

Jan Vasklovich thought he was going to a chess championship, little did he realise it was actually a breeding farm for Central Europeans.

Check Matey!
Triumph over adversity story of bubble bath that wins World Chess Championship.

How about 'Poles Apart'?

The story about the poor sex life of a Polish couple who are living in separate countries.

Actually, the title (and part of the premisee) is based on something that actually existed written by Mark Wallington and Dick Fiddy (look 'em up) but I think it failed to get beyond the draft stage.

I actually thought it was a neat idea.

Belarus Abbot's Mad House
Eastern Bloc comedy show hosted by a crazy monk. With Lev Dennis and Bilok Embergz.

Tornado Ali G
Sacha Baron Cohen's yellowest creation goes storm-chasing. Laugh at his ironic inappropriate questioning in the face of flying cows, tractors and imminent death.

Diffident Reinvestment
Set in the London Stock Exchange, all the characters are now too scared to plough their massive bonuses back into shares, instead sitting around a budget three-location set bemoaning their dutiful, yet naive manager that they're cheating on, their more successful merchant banker next door, and the inefficiency of their masonic handshakes. Tepid.

Diffident Strokes
Mr Drummond is back! This time, his newly-found apathy means he doesn't give two hoots about taking anyone in, and thus no-one gets arrested, dies of a drug-overdose or complains about how being a midget ruined their career.

Homosexual Bill

Sitcom about homosexuality legislation and/or a gay man called Bill.

The Big Wang Theory.

Well endowed men discuss the idea that giving women screaming orgasms has become boring.

Jonathan King is released and winds everyone up immediately.
