I was thinking about writing a Terry and June style sitcom a while back, see my sketch called something like 'A day at the beach'.

Still might give it ago one day when everyone is sick of cutting edge comedy and traditional is back in fashion.

Indulge me, if no one else. I'd be very interested in seeing such a show.

All I did was call Mr Josh a one trick pony, because he only comments on G&S! But glad to see you branching out now, Josh. I've already said he's entitled to support a show if he likes it. I haven't even seen G&S, so I haven't commented on it. I only joined in to make an observation on how different people perceive the BBC writersroom. Can we move on?

So, make some contacts. Get yourself some work as a film extra and while on set give your script to someone important.

That's a bit of a stupid comment. We're not all frustrated actors - we're frustrated writers.

I've got no desire to appear on screen.

Yeah about the contacts, I aren't an actor and have no desire to be an actor. I'm a writer and want to have a career in writing. That said I do have a couple of contacts, not big BBC cheifs that can commission my stuff, but I have access to get stuff filmed (which I'll do if no other production company takes on board my sitcom).

Sorry. Wrong forum for sitcom allusions.
But the technique did work for Andy Millman!

Its easy to criticise without attempting to do anything, like you are doing. The writers on here don't because they put their money where their mouth is. Plus they're not willing to sell their souls like your friend did which gives them more integrity than you'll ever have. We get it Josh, you like G and S but don't get personal because eveyone will think you're an arse.

Im sticking up for this show too, so dont forget to have a go at me! I think Josh is being quite reserved in his comments, seeing as how vitriolic some of the nay-sayers are against him!! Oh, and I have no links whatsoever to this show, I just happen to like it. Sorry, Ill pretend I dont, if that makes it easier for those that dont!

I repent, i'm sorry, please forgive me for having an opinion. Can you see god up there on your moral high horse? MS is obviously far superior to all of us so we should stop having opinions and start conforming cos apparently BSG ain't a democratic forum.

I hadn’t forgotten. I was just having my ribs strengthened with titanium plates so I could carry on reading your posts.

You’ve really made sarcasm your own.

More 5 star reviews for Gavin And Stacey today. Incredible how well it's doing! I can't wait to see the show all over again on BBC2!
