Worst idea for a sitcom Page 10

The first sitcom I ever sent to Radio 4 was about a couple whose kid had been brutally murdered and became C-list celebrities off the back of it. Looking back, it was a terrible idea and didn't stand a cat in hells chance of getting anywhere (although I think Gervais and Merchant must have read it, and stole it for that bit in the Extras Xmas special when the murdered kids mom appears on Celebrity Big Brother),
