I should say as well, I managed to get drunk and corner a comedy producer recently. His advice was:
1) The industry wants more female writers (after the success of Miranda, there is a sudden drive for female-led scripts.)
However, they may not be much you can do about that. The second tip was:
2) Produce as much as you can yourself.
Remember, the great sitcoms of the 70s and 80s were shot using less technology than is in your phone.
