Looks at the whisky saying hello to me. hmmmmm. 
How long should a one hour episode be??? Page 2
Put it this way.
If someone turns it down because it's not to length, it's just their polite way of saying they don't like it.
It's the same with cocks.

In answer to Mikey's question, I believe the answer is 'twice as long as from the middle to the end'.

So that was two separate 'no's then.

One was.
The other was a mate.
EDIT: Actually, I'm doing myself was a slight disservice.
The 'no' was to the hour - but they wanted to see it as a series.

I just checked that latest sitcom draft wordcount and it's 6,883. Which makes it about right for half an hour, no? Or maybe a tad over? I think it's best to havea few minutes over so you can trim the crap.
