Fantastic.
A woman after my own dark heart! I think a makeover show where members of the public try ‘paedophile chic’ or a sitcom set in a clinic that specialises in anal bleaching.
I don't think it is necessarily a dark situation you need, but dark/amoral characters/situations. Take something like 'The Smoking Room' or 'Green Wing' both of which end up being quite dark despite not having fundamentally dark premises.
--Reading that back, it's not particularly helpful. I suppose I mean that having at least one character who is a selfish, amoral c**t will help create a dark ambience, even if the sitcom is set in a sunshine factory.
Failing that, I always thought a sitocm seet in an abortionist's called 'Bye Bye Baby' would be quite funny.
I hope you're all just having a giraffe
I was till London Zoo had me arrested, damn Giraffe wanted me.
Hmmm. Hard to top either paedophiles or abortion clinics.
Unless you go with a necrophiliac paedophile working at an abortion clinic? Make him a sociopathic rapist who gets women pregnant just so they can be convinced to have an abortion for him and you should be about there dark-wise.
Aye, I guess the point is that darkness for darkness sake doesn't really work unless that idea comes naturally or there's a serious point that prompted it. Dark is one of the hardest strands to master. Even the masterly League of Gentlemen failed in at least one series out of the three, maybe two. And that comes from SlagB, a big LoG fan.
Obviously not that big. 
I agree with Slag A. Dark stuff is difficult to pull off. It can also get very tired very quickly. Look how tedious Nighty Night was by about episode 3 of the first series. Plus, from a writers point of view, you're going to have a hard job getting a prodco interested.

You, sir, are a mental. Series two, sure, but season one was great to the very, very bitter end.

It was all right, but she could have done and dusted the whole thing in a ninety minute film. Human Remains was far, far superior.

That was me. Best to make fun of them though so people realise.
Saw an ace idea for a horror film on a kids show.
The Cannibal Ghost
He scares you to death, then eats your ghost.
