In house writing. You can't fault it.
The thing is there are some really good writers here and elsewhere, who don't get the lookin some of these people get. I hated Man Stroke Woman, because I had seen some of the material a couple of years previously online on urban legend sites and other comedy sites, and it had clearly been lifted. I dislike that side of the business, it's lazy.
I would rather never turn in anything at all than turn in something I *know* is not mine or unoriginal.
Or just plain bad.
It's the thing at present to have these 'character' shows, and I think it's had it's day.
The best show of that kind was the Fast Show, and they bothered to vary it abit. Little Britain, Catherine Tate and apparently athough I have not seen it, Karen Turner seem to be just repetition.
The teletubbies do that and they don't get a sketch show.
