I used to always fall asleep listening to the Radio4 11pm comedy slot.

I've never been that into radio comedy to have a good grasp on radio sitcom.

Strikes me as a way into TV sitcom as well nowadays working like a pilot series in some cases.

No, I was making notes on them to rile him.

Dolly I don't think you could wind up Griff if you tried.

I don't need to try. Just my aura pisses him off.

I rewrote 2 of my meant-for-TV sitcoms into radio sitcoms on the advice of a producer, as the scripts still worked beautifully without requiring the extra expense of sets.

I'd never even thought about pursuing that avenue before.

When you say they worked beautifully Mikey????

all right, all right... they were still shit in radio form.

The visual gags didn't work so well.

Lol.
