Aww. it was meant to be kind. It was thoroughly vetted by some ladies. Proper ladies.
No, I'm not carrying on with the blog juuust yet. I am going to write the sitcom book and then consider what to do.
And she's not Mrs Blake. gawd - we don't want another one....
PS. Tigger and I and our unusual relationship is going to be featured in 'She' magazine in June July. (cue insolent posts....)

Only just saw that.
Please tell me you watched Grandma's House and thought it went against all the rules of sitcom?
I think bushbaby should be teaching this class.
Rules is rules in anybody's book.
Rules are made to be broken.
so it seems. My staff would have been headless if they broke the rules but I guess there are none today

Hi bushbaby, I saw you mention the 'rules' in the Grandma's House thread, could you give me a list of these rules?
P.s. This is genuine, but reading it back it sounds like a piss take! It isn't I truly am curious.
P.P.S. Surely you agree that there are few definates in writing or indeed life?
Mr. Blake, sorry for being off topic.
Do people really go to these things?

It was in a BBC book that I got when entering the Last Laugh comp about five years ago but I later gave it to a charity shop with others, so I can't remember all the rules that were in it now.....sorry

They must do, or he wouldn't still advertise his services.
But are there too many sitcoms in the system already? Maybe more people want to know how to write comedy drama?
I'd definitely go if I didn't live up't north

System? There certainly aren't enough sitcoms on TV.
