Quote: Charley @ January 11, 2008, 5:21 PMHow about a sitcom based on a murderer & all the different funny ways he kills his victims?
Oi - don't give away our ideas.

180' - The sitcom that looks at the glam world of international darts
I'm working on that. Having played for over twenty years i couldn't ignore it.

Quote: Rick Skelton @ January 11, 2008, 3:14 PMThere was a rumour of a sitcom about a pub quiz team
Wasn't that going to be writen by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost? It would have been called Quizers With Attitude. Or am I making this all up?

Oh, it's been scrapped, but some little prick keeps re-submitting it to IMDB. It annoys them alot.
Probably Simon Pegg...
How about a sitcom based on a blood sucking vampire who eats furry animals & children? Actually he just eats toddlers. There could be a role for a paedo priest (now that's unusual eh) & a guy who is in love with his hoover. I can just pop in to play the local bike.
Quote: charisma @ January 11, 2008, 6:07 PMHow about one involving a group of twenty somethings who share a house, and struggle looking for love?
Yey! One is a paraplegic who cant find love based on his lack of legs.
There's a woman who has a cojoined twin sticking out of her face. This twin has multiple personality problems & as well as causing severe face ache to her twin, drives her gaga. It is easy to find a guy who wants to bed twins but for some strange reason they dont want a relationship with them!
Also a gay guy who is scared to come out as a hetrosexual & an older woman who has Alzheimer's & keeps forgetting who she last fell for & why the guy has no legs & the girl has a twin hanging off her cheek etc!

Finding you're married to your seperated-at-birth twin sister...
Ick! I thought this was just a funny idea you were coming up with until I saw in the news today that this really happened recently. Oh my....

There hasn't been one set in a World War 2 concentration camp in Austria yet?
Done in 'mockumentary' style it follows the "banality of evil" lives of the unglamorous administration office staff, finding laughs between dealing with mountains of tedious paperwork. Always under the constant strain of working for "the boss from hell".

I have never heard anyone in Manchester call a chippy a chipper.
A sitcom where all the characters where anthropomorphic animals. There are plenty of cartoons that feature animals with human characteristics, but no real sitcoms as far as I know, with the possible exception of Cat in Red Dwarf.
You mean a live action sitcom? Like, people in pantomime costumes?

Possibly costumes, maybe something like a combination of costume and computers like the Cat People in the new Doctor Who.
Quote: Griff @ January 12, 2008, 12:10 PMA sitcom where all the characters where anthropomorphic animals.
It would work on radio.
Is the tendency to write about anthropomorphic animals called "Watership Down's Syndrome ?"
For all I know it could be. I should say I did try to do this, and sent a pilot to the BBC but it got turned down.
There is an entire genre devoted to anthropomorphic animals known as the furry genre of furry fandom, which I am keen on (hence my name).
