No, he left a few months ago.
Has anyone on here had a sitcom make it to TV? Page 2

Yes. Yes it does.

And FAST!

No, it's over the hill.
Quote: Roodeye @ October 28 2009, 2:56 PM BSTThat's so unlikely, it just has to be true.
It's a bizarre way to make a living, and always a sure-fire conversation-killer when somebody asks what you do.

I think the conversation is killed by the tediousness of the question, not the answer.
When someone asks me what I do for a living I tell them I mind my own business.
Actually I don't but it does cross my mind. 
I wouldn't mind my own business.
Quote: Griff @ October 30 2009, 12:13 PM BSTDo you think perhaps he doesn't post that much because of the tsunami of abusive shit that was thrown his way by several thousand BSG posters after the Lunch Monkeys pilot was screened? (when it was called Admin?).
Pity if the criticism of the pilot Admin put him off reading the glowing praise that greeted Lunch Monkeys. Can't get too sentimental, the pilot was abysmal and the series hardly any better. Nothing takes away from the fact David got a show onto telly, so well done to him for that. I hope you're not suggesting that the criticism either the pilot or series received was due to the fact he was a member here. I didn't notice anything unfairly personal in the negative criticisms I read.
He wrote a show, it got aired, he got paid, it wasn't very good (in most BCG members' and critics' opinions). People laid into it, in the same way some laid into We Are Klang or Lab Rats. People care about their comedy and air opinions, that's only fair, surely?
Oh, and most likely it was somewhere in his contract not to bring any negative attention to the show, which by posting on here in relation to it, he technically would have breached.

Yes,
Society is notoriously intolerant of talent: it hates nothing more, except perhaps success. 
Nearly make it.
I sent one to Channel 4, they sent me a letter saying they really liked it but had too much on for the next couple of years so had forwarded it to the Head Of Comedy at ITV.
A few weeks later the Head rang me and said it was a great sitcom but was too risque as it was set in a massage parlour, but had I got anything else to let him have....I hadn't at the time

I believe he had a falling out with Aaron over a perceived 'breach' of BSG rules, so left.
Someone from here had that BBC Three sitcom set in a prison. I think it centered around the prisoners and their visiting time. Was quite funny in an Early Doors way.

And him a solicitor! Oh, the delicious irony of it all!

I think it was actually an actor from that show, not the writer. It was quite good, although not great.
There was a guy who had created his own sitcom and put it on the web. He's gone now.
