Worst idea for a sitcom Page 38

Have I fallen into Stephen Fry Radio 4 Hell?

Goats and Queeries.

John Barrowman, and Stephen Fry, and a couple of goats do a quiz show. Probably.

Watership Clown.

A pack of Clowns are forced from their circus, to try and live in the English country side. Stars Ken Dodd as the really big evil clown, music by Simon and Garfunkle.

H&B - Laughing out loud

How about Hash and Braces?

Watership Down Under
Blatant cash-in as the animated rabbits all go on holiday!

Dan

LOL.

Goodnight Mister Tom.

Harrowing tale of a young boy's torment at the hands of a paedophile in wartime Britain.

Watershit Brown

Some brave poos escape from a sewage plant; will they find a home on Channel 5? Stars John Barrowman as the big evil poo. With songs from Simona and Arse-funkle.

Yours was the better one I suspect Griff.

Captain Correli's Lanolin

Can a WW2 Italian captain in Greece win the locals over, with a small piece of soft cloth?

Les Miserables

Follows Les Dennis' treatment for depression.

Ampersand In Your Face
Bullied by the big stoopids in his youth, a young Aaron Brown turns to punctuation to get his own back. Misguided prequel to the limited success trilogy.

Oooh now that's just nice.

Cher Spray.

Cher after her ming tightened again, ends up spraying her audience with bladder leakage. They (most of whom are good with colours) forgive her.

Respectable Nigger Lover

Racist gameshow host confronts his judgemental demons by visiting a black prostitute, but cannot bring himself to do more than talk with the girl. Unfortunately, neither can understand the other's accent.

Sootyj, Sweep and Poo
Tale of obsessed faecophiliac comedy-writer who can't help but bring all titles to lowest common denominator. Critical-miss becomes biggest box office success ever!

The crap-prentice

Allan Sugar invites some really big arse holes from middle management (you know the kind who call them selves executive teamleader, and hump their blackberries). To sit on potties around his ridiculous electric table, and seem who can do the biggest Brad Pitt.

I don't quite get the critical miss line. Otherwise excellent pun.

Semi-Colonic Irrigation
Bereft of proper punctuation and disgusted with civilisation's blatant disregard for his most favourite of punctuation marks, the trilogy concludes with Aaron retiring to the countryside to follow his dream of bringing the semi-colon back from the brink of extinction, by virtue of specialised semi-colon farming methods. It's not long before they become rife once more. Heartfelt drama with EllieJP.

Dan

Haha... indeed! Laughing out loud

Gazza-blanka

Gazza is a world weary bar owner in Second World War Tunis. He might help the resistance but every one keeps ignoring him.

The Alan Whicker Man

An island of Scottish Pagans practice pre-Christian sacrificial rituals by stuffing things inside Alan Whicker and then burning him.

Laughing out loud

Y'know, we should submit an idea to a prod co to produce a series of short films based on the premises in this thread. Could go out under the banner 'Rejected TV pilots' or something like that. You could have 5-6 an episode and some link man to tie it all together as long as it's NOT Angus Deayton.
