John Finnemore: how to create a comedy idiot
"There have been many great idiots in sitcoms," says John Finnemore, "Manuel from Fawlty Towers, Alice in The Vicar of Dibley and Baldrick from Blackadder spring to mind. And there are many different types of idiot. I'm not sure I'd describe Arthur [Shappey] as a true idiot though. His defining characteristic is his utterly optimistic outlook and that he's resolutely cheerful."
