Right, your top 5 actors, comedic or otherwise(Who are they), have begged you to write a sitcom for them.(Whats it about) and what characters do they play.
Me first ITS MY THREAD, and its polite to let a well proper lady go first.
Actualy i have changed my mind. Its polite to let a well proper lady do that. I am gonna go last. I will wait and see. I know already but i dont wanna tell you. Not yet. I want anticipation.*Drum roll* 
Eric Sykes, Spike Milligan, Will Ferrell, Mel Brooks and Tom Selleck in either of the following:-
(1) Running a charity shop
(2) Working for a male escort agency
Can we also have another post for Actresses. I could then have Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Garner, Jennifer Anniston, Jessica Alba and Claire Grogan working for an escort agency
Actresses like to be classed as 'actors' as well nowadays, so I assume you can include both male and female.
Good Question. I can't choose my top fave actors, but I'd like choose a good team I'd like to work with.
Actually I had an idea of a sitcom which would've been written for Rich Hall. Not sure if it was anygood, but I'll keep it under my hat for now.
But anyway...
1. Bill Bailey
2. Sally Phillips
3. Rich Hall
4. Reece Shearsmith
5. Simon Pegg
I can't think what it would be about, because if I could I would be writing it instead of sitting here and answering your question.
Starring:
Nicholas Lyndhurst
Phillip Bretherton
Max Beesley
David Haig
Can't think of a premise, though.
It would have to include Windsor Davies cos he only lives down the road.
And Morwenna Banks, Frank Skinner(to annoy David Baddiel), Carole Royle and me.
I can't act but I'd just like to be in the same place as Carole Royle.
It could be about .......... failed middle-aged songwriters.
I never write anything without deciding who my fantasy list of actors is beforehand.
The sitcom I'm writing now stars Julian Barratt as a Chaplain and Emma Kennedy as a headmistress.
Sounds intriguing!
I wouldn't want anybody that's well known. The best sitcoms tend to star unknowns when they first air. In fact, there's nothing worse than shows which have "stars" parachuted into them.
Parachuted? That's a good idea. A sit-com about skydivers called "Gravity always lets you down".
My Turn now me thinks.
An English nyphomaniac living in America, meets a fellow sex addict. Basicaly there will be 24 scenes in the boudoir.
I think Jim Carey can take the lead role. A few small parts for fellow addicts, possibly Niki Cage and Brad can have a roll too. (yes i spelt it that way on purpose). I think the leading lady will be played by, Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, ME.
Why do you only want them to have small parts?

Well big parts with small scenes like, Niky and I on the bed for hmmmmmmmmmm i reckon a 5 minute scene will do. Bradley well he is another story, i need to impress, he is with an incredibly sexy woman. Maybe i should have them both in the bed with me for say, 21.43 minutes.
Adam Sandler
David Schwimmer
Jack Black
Kate Winslet
and Billie Piper
In what i can only imagine being about the five actors doing a film together and all sorts of stuff unfolds. I'll get back to you on the details.
Can't you handle big parts?
