Yeah, gumtree ad is a little generic isn't it? I think it would probably be a comedy drama.. It's not shaping up into a straight up sitcom... I do think I'm going to press in with this format till I at least finish the episode, then tweak the back story elements, make them more concrete... I just thought I'd have a stab at slowing it down a touch... It's all good practice though 
thanks for taking the time out to read guys! Everything taken on board
