Sitcom writing guidelines

Well firstly you've only got just over a week to hear this.

I've just listened to it myself and though it's based on a sitcom over 60 years ago a lot of the formula still remains the same.

It's a drama about the making of the sitcom "All Gas & Gaiters" which I'd posted on its own thread but if you want to write sitcom listen to at least the first 20 minutes or so.

More to do with fans of the show or fans of Derek Nimmo. It didn't offer that many sitcom insights. The whole "one old chap is actually a young married couple" was the main focus.
