Acquired a series calle Parks and Recreation on my hard drive over here and not normally keen on Yank sitcoms but is well worth a watch, love Mrs Browns Boys though and who can leave out Only fools and horses.

Is "Not Going Out" the one with Robert Lindsay in? Don't like that.

Can't stand "Mrs. Brown's Boy's" although, I've only seen the Christmas Special. I just don't understand the mechanism that the main character has to be a bloke in drag.

I'm struggling to narrow it down to three.

"Curb Your Enthusiasm", "The League Of Gentlemen" and either "The Day Today" or "The Thick Of It".

New series this year hopefully!

Ooh, didn't know that, sweet. Love Armando Iannucci me.

I'm writing a sit com with one of my friends. We haven't actually written anything and she lives in Australia but I'm sure we can overcome these minor difficulties.

Oooh, lets all write a one-off comedy-drama about RLfans and pitch it to the bbc.

Best idea since my collaborative novel on the sin bin, which was rubbish but got to 20+ pages iirc - the old, long pages too before they had to be cut to 9-a-side because RLfans got bigger than facebook.

yeh it's American, written by Larry David.

Another one I used to like was Arrested Development, but they stopped a few years ago now.

Peep Show & the IT Crowd are a couple of favourites too.

You need to decide what characters will be in it, and whom would star as them.

I'll start you off as Steve McDonald branching into sitcoms and playing Mild Rover

seinfeld fraiser and i forgot about the brilliant league of gentlemen

The the schadenfreude-overloaded troll, the darkly sarcastic 'power'-loving mod, the overly serious one-eyed poster, the simple-minded optimist, the arrogant clever dick...

Tbh, I've done the full set. Writing itself, this.

Now who could that character be based on I wonder?

Easty to be played by Karl Pilkington?
