If the people wish to pass further comment, then I'm sure they will.
I only said it because I was the one who started to go off thread a bit with chat about Steve Coogan and Spicer puns. I was trying to get it back on track.
I'll help you out here.

I like the Bowie song and your credits look and sound very good. But unfortunately they look and sound almost identical in style to The Office and Extras. That's the problem, James. You have a commendable spirit but in my opinion you are putting your energies into copyist pieces. I'd like to see you try something that is deliberately unlike Gervais or Coogan, as that might give you a chance of coming out the other end with something that is still influenced by them but not so identifiably.
Why not request a sketch from the members on here, or whatever other forums you might visit (you whore) or post a submission thing on your website.

Thank you for saying you like the theme song and credits. I don't think there that similar to The Office or Extras even if they are that is because that style is a great style.
I have done things which aren't Gervais or Coogan esc.

Ok why not. Who wants to write a sketch I can perform in?
(Which isn't Gervais or Coogan esc)
Write a sketch? Hmm I'm up for it I like your commitment and production values. You'll hate my spelling and grammar.

Go for it. I'll be up for reading it and possibly filming it.
Do we have any idea on the budget, location, actors and time limits?

Minimal budget, location shouldn't be a problem unless it's set on the moon, I will act in the sketch with the possibility of others and it can be as long as you want.

Hey James, I'll write you a three minute character monologue if you like.

Yes please. Have you seen The Life and Times yet?

How long will it be?
Have you tried writing shorter monologues yourself, James?
Hugh Laurie used to do some very funny ones on A Bit of Fry and Laurie. They may be worth a watch if you haven't seen them.

Yes, how many inches?
