British Comedy Guide

A writer writes

We see through the window of a house

A man is at a typewriter typing like mad

A woman is dead on the mat, her hair is smoking

A fish is flipping next to her

There is water and glass everywhere

We see a step ladder that has been placed on an electric wire that is sparking.

A young man runs into the house

YOUNG MAN
Oh my god's what's happened

MAN
Typing like mad

Hang on and I'll tell you in a minute once I've got it down myself, it was hilarious!

Ha ha nice, I read somewhere advice on writing and it said kill your babies, this reminds me of that, just make sure if you do that you have jotted everything down first.

I think this one is a bit too knowing for me Teddy.

Hi Teddy .I read one of your posts yesterday that I can't find now where you say you're sending out sit-coms on spec to production companies so they don't read them.The Comedy Unit in Glasgow definitely read them and Charlie Stuart at Fresh TV also in Glasgow definitely does too.Are you punting a short synopsis and a couple of scenes or the full War and Peace epic.They just want a short thing to read-who's got the time to read more?Comedy Unit take ages to get back as they're swamped with material.Fresh TV will respond if interested-again he's a busy one man operation.Hope this helps.
