I go for . . . neither. I think it's a trick question.

Is there an actual answer?!
Quote: zooo @ May 30 2008, 4:30 PM BSTI wonder if you write a great book, why people don't shout the opening sentence at you in the street?
What first sentences do you remember (without reference)?
I only have:
"It's a truth universally acknowledged ..."
and
"Mother died today"
I was going to say "It's a truth universally acknowldged..." before!
Ooooh, good one.
That book is amazing.
Um.
Hmm...
No.
Not even the Mighty Boosh.
Oh, that's bothering me now.
I'd write a sitcom and the theme music/song for it.
But I wouldn't get Denis Waterman to sing it.
The first line of It aint half hot mum was;
F**k me will somebody open some windows in here.

You could have it as "Come with us now on a journey through time and space!"
Very true.
But that's kind of a cheat...
I've been in a few bands that have had songs sung back to them but never the songs I wrote 
so I'd have to opt for the sitcom

Quote: wayne lewis @ May 30 2008, 4:14 PM BSTWrite a sitcom, such as Only Fools and Horses, which most people love and know all the catchphrases too. Or write a song that people would sing back to you at a concert?
Song surely? If my sitcom had catch-phrases in I'd kill myself.
Besides there's a romanticism I associate with music that it is impossible to replicate in sitcom form.
Yay! Another song person!
