I agree with you there, I really want them to do another comedy series. Who can forget the truly great 'The Club' Sketches.
Vic and Bob, come back you are really missed.
Anyone had an idea that has popped up on TV? Page 3

Agreed.

I wanted to expand my I've Seen Mad Gary concept into a comedy lab proposal for a show where I try and legitimately start my own religion.
Then Peter Serafinowiscz bloody does it this week.
Shall I beat him up for you?
Any more badgercom Stu?
Quote: Tim Walker @ October 16 2008, 1:40 AM BSTWhen I was 7 years old, in a fun school assignment, I came up with this idea for a sitcom charting the lives of a wheeler-dealer living in a block of flats with his younger brother, set in Peckham. My original synopsis (written in crayon) had them living with their grandad, though I amended that to living with their sea-faring uncle (even at 7 I realised the grandad character would be a little too cantakerous for the first couple of series and the actor may well pass-away within a few years). Though I think you can guess where my idea got usurped, looking at my teacher's suggestions on how to improve my sitcom idea, she did suggest that I should, after reading my outline of plots for a series lasting over 25 years, finish the series after they became millionaires.
Spooky.
When The Lights Go Out sounded much better than this clap-trap...

not sure if either of those count?
Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis did 'The Shopping Forecast' as part of their Live On Arrival Radio 4 series way back in 1988.

Was that Baron's Nightclub?
By jimminy, I've just realised it was 18 years ago that I saw them at Hammersmith Apollo. Bill Oddie was in the audience.
I once wrote a sketch that I thought was hilarious. I even laugh about it now when I think of it.
HOWEVER! It was pointed out to me that Man Stroke Woman had done a 98% identical sketch.
I was very upset.

Those two statements conradict each other. There were no hilarious sketches on Man Stroke Woman.

Not entirely true...

Meh.

Truly there is nothing can be done for you.
I once composed and put lyrics to a ballad. It was for a musical I was writing. A year down the line I heard the same tune on radio and couldn't believe my ears. I can't recall now which singer it was but it was the B side of his more popular song, A side.
Mine hadn't been copied, I'd just written exactly the same melody even though I'd never heard the record before.

Mine had the extra 2% hilarity.
Saying that, I thought they had some funny sketches.
