How not to pitch your sitcom

Hmmm, came out a little long for a sketch. F*ck it, let's call it a short film.

Featuring command performances from the BCG's Stuart Laws and Matthew Stott.

Thats quality very sharp lots of gags and pacy, like the punchline

Slight thought though?

How about a wildly improbable sitcom wins and the exec says
"Yes you can have your gay dinosaur undertakers sitcom? just change it to slackers in a flat share?"

get where I'm coming from cos that would show how random the selection is, but how predictable the end result?

also "men are from mars women love penis" great line, but its one of those great lines one could imagine someone else coming up with

Cheers, soots, some nice feedback there. Unfortunately this isn't one of those pieces I can make big changes to, hence dropping it in Showcase. Appreciate the ideas but there's no contingency for reshoots this time.

Then f**k it, its ace

Gay undertaking dinosaur?

Hmm I may keep that.

A Grave undertaking for a Megasorearse

I like the music I recognise it from Get Cotter!

Good piece!

Really? I let Stuart take care of that side of things so it's probably an old Mac loop.

It has a nice Woody Allan vibe

Whoops, I've been caught there.

It is :) I 've used it a bit, freebie on imovie!

Very good, you guys :)

"Hatepain"

:D

I liked the opening "musical sitcom" bit with Henry the hoover. :D

Hnery deserves a show of his own

I would just like to express my relief at not being completely shit in this. A bit shit, but not completely.

Congratulations on the scary eye work.
