If you fancy exercising our skill with titles, remember there's always fun to be had with the Sitcom Trials' Pitch Fest, which returns for the new season.
In just 140 characters give us a title and a one line pitch and you can win some really valuable prize in every show. Twitter them with the hashtag #sitcomtrials
(On the night we'll probably use the tried and tested old familiar paper-and-biro Pitch Fest slips, cos the venue's underground, and even if your phone can get a signal we'd rather you turned em off).
Here are some Pitch Fest faves of old (from one show in 2001, found them in the archives):
Khmer In The Community - Pol Pot is a social worker in Neasden (winner)
Bob The Builder - cannibals play a Halloween game with workmen
Kiss Me Crate - a man enjoys sexual relations with a box
Mussolini's Eenie Muscles - Fascist dictator struggles to get fit
Wanker! starring Lloyd Grossman
Plankton Massive - about a family of plankton
A Bird In The Hand Is Worth Two In The Bush - starring Monica Lewinsky
Sitting On The Cock Of Will Hay - starring Hilda Baker
Bumboy is a very Pitch Fest title. Bumboy - a homeless schoolchild discovers he has superpowers. In his arse. #sitcomtrials
