Sitcom ideas wanted by new production company Page 5

Do you actually want a script or an idea?

If we won't be the writer what would be the point of submitting a script?

Well. you would be named as writer.
And, by the rules, your name should be above that of those that have re-wriiten you.
Or you might get a "devised by" credit - which is a bit naff and should be resisted.

It is, as has been mentioned, a bit of a minefield, so you'd need to go in with your eyes wide open.

That would be a first.

People say ideas are ten a penny. They are not. Good ideas are rare.

In answer to Chappers we are open to receiving ideas as well as scripts. Good ideas are rare (as mentioned by Marc above). So if you were to submit an amazing idea but without a script then we could give you a credit and pay you for the concept.

In reply to Lazzard it does have the potential to be a minefield doing it this way. So we would work with you to come to a set of agreeable terms. If we couldn't come to an agreement then we obviously wouldn't work with your idea and move on.

Their website looks quite professional until you start nosing around - it's a dog and pony show, all fluff.

Legend. You are the man Don.

I bet you six pound of snout that Otterfox's sitcom is a belter.

Who are the BBC writers you have on board?

Are Capability Brown & Lazzard one and the same?

Lancelot (or Capability) was surprisingly clean shaven. And had a more convincing wig.

(Some people round here are obviously more ghetto than National Trust)

Terry the Teaboy and Darren the Doorman have been signed up as writers. But their star name is Elaine from Logistics - she once had a text read out on Bargain Hunt.

Interesting philosophical question, up there with when a tree falls in a forest etc etc:-
How do you know when you're looking at a convincing wig?

If it's Pitt the Younger, doesn't get anymore convincing than that.

Why are you always so f**king negative?

You're tilting at windmills. Calm down.
