WELCOME ABOARD AND THE VERY BEST OF LUCK WITH YOUR EFFORTS

I really do drive a petrol tanker, I honestly do think that the idea I have would be really funny but I surpose everybody does. I'm gona get hold of a few scripts to see how they are put together, but the more i'm finding out, the more of a mine field I find. As you can probably see from this post I ent no wordsmith. But i'm determind to do it and i'll give it my best shot.
As i'm driving around i'm coming up with more and more idea's and I think there funny. There is so much scope for it, anyhow i'll let you know how i'm getting on. Thanks everybody for all your advice.

It is a mine field Titty, best advice do it in another medium. Seriously.

there's script formatting software. if this is your first sitcom, maybe write some sketches.

find a director on shootingpeople.com to film them, see how they turn out.

then maybe start on episode 1 or maybe the main scenes.

go from there, it's all a working progress
