No, I agree that the character is indeed written into the plot, my plot isn't set in stone, there's certain parts I can adapt and change to fit my characters.

That's my point, Fawlty Towers is different to Not Going Out because Basil is a great comedy character, whereas Lee...isn't.

Basically the situation is, essentially it's a first draft, and I just want my characters to have more distinctive voices and personalities. The Jon Vorhaus technique mentioned earlier really helped and has given me more of an idea of how I want the finished pilot to be like.

I can't recommend the sitcom trials highly enough. the way you're thinking on this, I reckon you'l do well.

Out of curiosity, what do the sitcom trials do for quick outside scenes? Do they attempt to do them, with the audience suspending their disbelief, or do they just write them out of the episode?

Also, I have a character who narrates throughout the episode, which could be problematic for something like that.

Thanks for the suggestion though.
