Which Sitcom Character Had The Most Sex? Page 4

I went on a screenwriting course this year at The Script Factory. Gotta say, it was f**king brilliant and really gave me some good ways to think about tackling a screenplay (which is quite a daunting prospect).

Anyway this whole protagonist discussion came up, and the tutor (who was a successful screenwriter and also worked at a development exec at various big British film companies) insisted the "biggest journey" thing was straight up. I hadn't heard this before.

Example he gave was The Shawshank Redemption. Tim Robbins's character is virtually unchanged from start to finish. Morgan Freeman's character is transformed. So it's Morgan Freeman's story. Morgan Freeman is the protagonist. He called characters like the Tim Robbins one the "catalyst", characters who change the lives of those around them, but don't change much themselves.

Anyway, obviously there's no rules, you just take from all this stuff whatever is helpful to you.

I never saw that sitcom.

'Allo 'Allo! 'ad the most - what with the flying helmet and the celery. Or was it wet lettuce?

WOOF!

So I jumped through her bedroom window, popped a box of chocs on the dressing table, machine gunned my telephone number into the war and shot off and shagged her sister.

I'd put my money on Stan Butler and Jack Harper from On the Buses. Stan must have shagged half the clippies in the depot and Jack shagged the other half. Though it does have to be said, no wonder women weren't allowed to drive the buses in the series as if there eye sight was bad enough to be turned on by Stan and Jack, there eye sight would have been very dangerous if they were driving a bus.

No, it was celery. Wet celery to be precise.

Pooossible that there might have been one or two instances of lettuce, mind. To denote a particularly special occasion or something. :)
