All the writers' premises sound like they have good potential. Can't wait to see them packed with limp knob gags and relocated to Runcorn. ;)

Tim if you really want to write comedy have you ever thought about other avenues that won't depress you so much. Sitcom is just bloody sitcom after all... it's ok... it's not. you know GREAT ART.

I once started a fantastic thread saying just that and I was shot down. And I'm sure one of those with a rifle was one Marc P!

He's a true politician, that Mr P. He sways with the prevailing wind... ;)

And, Marc, for the record, I've just finished my first proper feature screenplay. A black comedy. So I shall soon be moving on from being apoplectic with rage about sitcoms I didn't write to, instead, being apoplectic with rage about movies I didn't write.

Er, I mean... Angry

Oh, it's not so much the writing -- it's the never-ending IT that's the real kick in the balls :)

Thank you, Ronnie Barker!

The first holiday I remember was in Filey. I won a pinball machine in a plasticine competition.

I hope no-one's waiting for some sort of great punchline here...

Dan

I love Filey.
