You should really use capitals and punctuation on these forums. It's kinda the rules .

Why?

Because Aaron, our Lord the creator commands it. His house, his rules. Plus it makes it easier for us all to read. And we're all pedants.

Ok???

Ive just had an idea so im just planning it now

A question; have you written any comedy before, like sketches or even just jokes? If so, great; if not, you might struggle to get much 'com' in a whole episode of a sitcom, if that matters.

Is it a gay school?

My Gran wants to know.

Maybe we could stick with trying to be helpful.

She was! Just trying to stick some com in the sitcom 'n all that.

Christ, the education system is in a worse state than I thought.

Writing sitcoms isn't something you should be doing at school, it's what you do when you're older and have screwed-up your life and all your real dreams lie shattered.

Sort it out, Mr Gove!

Try BBC Writers Room pages on the main web site, they have sample scripts you can download to give you an idea of format/length structure etc. They also have, I think it's still there, a formatting tool to download, although I have to admit to never managing to get it to work, but I'm no Word expert which may have something to do with it.

Start with the characters. Who are they and why are they forced to be together. Why will we like them and why don't they like each other. Or do they like each other too much?

Then, move onto the story. What happens? Don't tell the audience show them. Traditional studio sitcom limits the number of locations and exterior shots.

Then, make it funny. But not a list of jokes. Ideally every line should tell the audience something about the character, drive the story forward or be funny. If you can make as many lines as you can be all of these then that would be even better.

i have never done this before.

sorry, its NOT a gay school!!!!
