After Moving Wallpaper and Twenty Twelve I've had the notion that you could kind of combine the two. Have sitcom characters shown organising an event created for the purpose of the programme but actually put on in real life.
Sudden idea.
I think that's been done. A few years ago there were two shows running concurrently, one was the behind-the-scenes of the other. I didn't watch them so I can't remember what they were called.
Sitcoms sitcom the more you mess with the formula the less it is what it is.

This made me laugh. Moving Wallpaper was the behind-the-scenes one. I think William had forgotten about Echo Beach.
Oh! haha!

I thought that's why he suggested it.
This is getting complicated. My idea was really MW with a real world event rather than a real world soap. Or perhaps a sitcom could be based around Comic/Sport Relief preparations.
So ... do you mean they would actually be organising the hypothetical event? No one else? If so, that's just a fly-on-the-wall documentary, isn't it? Perhaps a funny one, admittedly. Trouble with that though is that whilst you could script 'Bob phones Lucy to arrange the catering', at some point those other people would have to be real people, not in on it, and you can't script that and control the outcomes to provide funny. No?
