Quote: Tim Walker @ September 5 2009, 4:09 PM BSTWe'd all like to get commissioned, Lee, but what's the point is the end product is mediocre? I lost out on a broadcast pilot this year due to reasons related the current economic climate. Doesn't mean I think I should necessarily go and write My Family 2.0.
Yes but you're one writer, where it doesn't really matter if a commission goes tits up or not. Pett Productions is a business where commissions are really rather important. What sort of twat would go to the BBC in the middle of a recession with a successful, tried and tested format, then tell them they've "rejuvinated the genre". Risk-taking in comedy is not a good idea at the moment.
