British Comedy Guide

Contrast between Posts and Scripts Page 2

I think the OP raises interesting points. Generally agree but believe it could also depend both on individual writers and the comedy style. Experience can also feel a bit too seriously close even for, say, bitter sweet.

Plus there are over 10,000 ideas in this section. Many are no doubt good or very good. Those who own the tank may place emphasis on the condition of the pipe. They are not wonderful at siphoning off old water.

That's not an age thing. It's the masonry. I'll always be astonished how it was my generation that reinforced it in all spheres. Understandably offspring can be wary of all its words. If many knew what was originally said without truth by today's 35-60s - and the 70-somethings - there'd be more than just an internet revolution.

Wit is the distillation of observation with humour. So the concise is tautological and you pluralise your sitcom with your postings, but yet the sitcom is singular. 3/10

The singularity of sitcom is subsumed into the plurality of postings, and not all wit is concise, clever-clogs! It should have been 5/10.

This is England?

Blimey!

(Are you from a Local Authority?)

Those who own the tank - Commissioners
The condition of the pipe - The skills others present and feed into the Commissioners
Siphoning off old water - Getting rid of not very good people who are always on TV
Not an age thing - Not ageist; ie not very good people on TV are both young and old
It's the masonry - The main problem is a system which gives jobs to the in-crowd, like the masons
My generation that reinforced it - The current middle aged are a 1930s style Establishment
In all spheres - And that applies everywhere, not only in media/comedy
Offspring - The younger generations they have spawned
What was originally said without truth - The in-crowd only pretended to be alternative

There, that should hopefully have knocked out of it every ounce of creativity. This started as four paragraphs which I can still let you have should you decide against a technical career. Best regards.

Thanks for the notes Horseradish, I agree (I think)...

Very pleased that we've got that one sorted. I've learnt something useful about clarity as well as providing advice. Clearly there are no hard feelings on either side. Where do I live? Sadly, I fly around not unlike the Holy Bee of Ephesus. Good luck with your latest project. I liked EL Wisty and I am sure you will do well.
