We should probably watch it before making those kind of sweeping generalisations.
Oh, I meant "Some of us can write enough to get past the first rejection stage"...

Thats fantastic news, I wish my sky + didn't blow-up, but I'll try and watch it on iPlayer. Well done Mr Isaac!
Good write-up in The Sunday Times' Culture section yesterday -- sounds promising as one of the 'Critic's Choice's.
Nice.

There seems to be some clips on the prod co website. Laughed out loud at one point. www.channelk.co.uk, I think!
We've published an interview with David here. It's worth checking out I'd say as he gives some interesting and honest insight into what its like to finally break through after much trying... https://www.comedy.co.uk/tv/admin/interview/
If you want to know more about the show before you watch it tonight (11pm BBC3) have a browse around our guide. We've got character profiles and more in there.
Great interview, very inspiring. I hope it all goes well and hopefully a few more successes from here to come....
This is all great and as 'Nuts says, very inspiring.
Oh cool! Last I heard, Johnny was watching the pilot get filmed. I'll be watching this!
Well done on this; seven years, hey? Ive still got time then!
Definitely watching! OTV choice also - quality.
Well done fella for getting past all the hurdles, good luck with it. I'll be watching.
3 mins guys!!!
Poor. The scruffy kid who pretended to be able to play saxaphone looks like Justin Hawkins. Who's been living in a skip for 7 months.
I sniggered a little when he fell through the door holding the camera phone, and at the idea of Jamie Oliver being beaten up by fat kids. Nothing else.
Nothing likeable about any of the characters, perhaps a bit of sympathy going for Neil Fitzmaurice's by the end. Quite honestly, they could all die tomorrow and I wouldn't feel a thing.
And then there's the casting. What the hell were they thinking? Most of the cast, particularly Justin Hawkins, look no more than about 17 years old, and yet the writing of the characters, and their jobs, suggest that they would be mid-20s at very least.
Shocking.
In comparison, more Placebo, please!
(It is good to see a new writer at least getting a chance though, and nice to see a dedication - if not perhaps misguided - towards sitcoms again.)
