If I had a good idea then this alone would put me off....why the stonewalling? Fair dues they may not reply but the whole tone is a bit off putting.
Their website looks quite professional until you start nosing around - it's a dog and pony show, all fluff.
Yes, I think on balance, this is not to be taken seriously.
Their unwillingness to take any of the upfront risk and just let the writer twist in the breeze marks them out as chancers.
You'd be a mug to send anything unless they radically changed their position.
I'm making a porn film with professional porn actors.
If you would like to appear please send me a photo of your bum.
Any bums with moustaches drawn on them will be instantly rejected.
Yes.
And you'll have to stand with your cock out for a long time until we finally decide we don't want to use you anyway, opting for one of our in house stunt-cocks instead.
Oh yes, and we get to keep your cock.
Hey hey are you telling me to add cocks to all my bum mucky movie?
That's it lazzard you're out.
And I'm keeping the photo.
Check the small print.

You're out Shandonbelle you sent me a photo of George Galloway and where as he may be an arse.
He also has a moustache.
That wasn't a moustache, that was a homeless caterpillar.
This isn't the way anyone goes about things. I'd avoid.
He also spells the name of one of his great influences wrongly. Twice.
This is the guy http://www.kevindurham.co.uk/index.html maybe it is a genuine production company? Although my ideas will remain in my head for now.
It's a trawl for pitches to take to broadcasters, from someone with no contacts and no track record, who apparently plans to get someone else to write your idea if there's a commission (which I've never come across from any other production company).
It's a uniquely unattractive proposition. On the other hand, he's being completely open about it.

It's a 100% genuine production company.
Just not one I'd choose to do business with.

I can't improve on that, that's comedy platinum.

Or to submit your second best idea.
If you really have it in you to become a sitcom writer, you need to be brimming over with ideas in any case.
Bill you are a computer man not a writer...
