The Sitcom Mission 2011 Page 68

I feel we are now in the eye of the storm. And with no cunning plan.

I've got me rocket in a milk bottle ready to fire at midnight. If you're in the Birkenhead area keep an eye out for it - if you're not - well done you!

The results are in, and just being prepared for publication... There'll be some very pleased posters rather soon. Stay tuned.

Too late. I just scored twenty seven goals in my own head.

28-27 to me then, unlucky that last one never crossed the line.

The hull is starting to creak under the pressure as we slowly sink. I just hope the chief can get that engine restarted before we pass crush depth

You want the crazy, X-Factor audition stuff?

Ok, one of my favourite titles was Turtles in Space.

And we had another one which was a list of things you can do on a train. No dialogue, no characters, just a list of things you can do on a train.

Like park it on a stage?

And one sitcom opens with a guy in a wheelchair on the phone to his dad:

"You can't cut me out of the business, father. I'm half of this company...A quarter? How do you get that?...Oh, because I can't use my legs, well, that's a fair point, actually"

I bet most of the scripts turned down were still better than Mrs Browns boys I just watched in pain.

:D

Can't you do some sort of Medley of hopeless entries on final night?

In fact, I just so happen to have a script lying around........
