BSG sitcom?

I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I didn't know where else to put it so appologies.

Anyway, I had an idea for a bit of fun. Why don't we write a sitcom as a collective BSG effort?
I was thinking we could take it in turns to write one line/paragraph each, be it a piece of dialog, a piece of action, a scene change, or whatever (so long as we wait for at least one other person to post before adding another, and write only one of the above and not a mixture).
I thought if we start with absolutely no idea of character or situation it would be interesting to see where it starts to go.
It could end up being a world record for the sitcom with the largest ever team of writers
I think we should bare in mind also that not every contribution will have to be funny - I think it should be more about deciding when it's best to put a joke in, as we do in our own projects.

Anyway, I will start, just randomly...

Well...
Before anyone else says it, https://www.comedy.co.uk/forums/forum/14

But I suppose your idea is different.

There was a group sitcom thread a while back but this is a slightly different idea. So I'm joining in. Probably at the same time as others...

HANK STUART, late twenties, gets out of his battered yellow Mini. He slams the door, but it won't close properly and hangs wide open. After a few attempts he grabs a nearby shopping trolley and leaves it propped against the door, keeping it closed. As HANK trudges slowly to the store entrance, the trolley rolls away and the car door swings open.

The trolley hits a furious,dishevelled woman holding a screaming toddler. Having noticed Hank messing about earlier the woman pops her baby in her car then jumps into the Hanks. The woman hot wires the car & it bursts into life.
Hank turns around just in time to see his car hurtling towards him.

(Laughing insanely)Hahahaha Got you back you bastard.

Ah! This is being done, has been done and probably will be done again...

I'm seeing a lot of repeat threads at the moment... refer to the other lets start a sitcom threads!

Paul, it is a bit different. Improvisational, this one is.

Yep, that's why I let it run, despite not seeing eye-to-eye with the ethos behind it. Everything is in the planning (imo) but I guess this thread is only meant to be fun.

Yes, it is/was.

Kill it SlagA, by all means.
Sheesh kebabs! It's not difficult to cause controversy in this forum is it?

I believe there is an improv sitcom being done in Critique?

When I saw the title I imagined a sitcom about a bunch of wannabe comic writers and their forum adventures.

If that were the case, who would be the main players do we think? I'm voting Kent Pete as one, seeing as he already has a whole thread dedicated to his antics. As for a protaganist....

Can I be in it Dave. If I promise to tone down the filth from gigantic proportions, to just grand?

If there is, it's in the wrong forum.

We should give the moderator a good seeing to.

Oh.. One minute...

I can't find it but it's around somewhere and I'm going to lose at poker in a bit so I'll do it tomorrow.

Charley I got a video from you on facebook about the G spot...

You trying to say something?

Sorry Ian

Let's get this thread back on track.

I must say the dialogue and action here is a bit confusing.
