BBC's New Writing Initiatives Page 7
I wrote a multi-cultural sitcom a few months back about a (British born) middle-aged Chinese psychiatrist with his own practice. His daughter is mixed race (he married a Brit girl) and his father owns the local chinese takeaway.
The prodco developing it came to me (via my website) and requested a "Chinese psychiatrist" idea.
So a multi-cultural sitcom doesn't need to involve all the "usual suspect" ethnics.

Sounds like there's oodles of opportunities in that one.

I misread that as 'noodles of opportunities' and was going to berate you for being culturally insensitive. Instead, I'm ashamed of myself.

WHy would anyone ask for a Chinese psychatrist idea? It seems rather random. Why not a Bengali opthamologist or a Somali proctologist?
or a Siamese cat

Bengali opthamologists and Somali proctologists are sooooo last year.
They had a general idea for a sitcom. Just needed a writer.
Anyway. Isn't this thread supposed to be about CoC?
Keep your sexual preferences out of this please Mikey.
