There are very few writers who say 'Jump!' and the BBC asks 'How high?'

Stephen Poliakoff?

And Russell T Davies, seemingly.

Im currently writing my first sitcom and halfway through it ive had the idea that i should change it to make it more appealing to the masses.Should i do this?will this help it sell? or Will it just water down my work?

I know what i like,but i dont know if i know what other people like.
Do people agree with my likes and dislikes list? or am i fishing up the wrong tree?

Likes: The Office,Worst week of my life,Extras,Phoenix nights,Black books.

Dislikes: Last of summer wine,Oh Dr Beeching,Green Wing,My family,Most ITV sitcoms.

cheers,Webbo

Depends how 'out there' it is.

Though if a producer likes it, he'll want to change it a bit anyway - that's life.
