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.
'Time has come to air the voice of reason, in a world gone mad, adrift on banal seas, for all who feel that lies have had their season and whose hearts cry out instead for honesty. For all the weary souls grown bored with dreaming, this thirst for beauty and for knowledge goes unslacked. For all who want to wake from what is dreaming to know what's real and what is real to embrace. For all who've watched with mounting horror, evil's rein upon this world grow ever clear, for all who've prayed in vain, emancipators, wielding swords of truth and laughing without fear...naaaaaaa'

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.

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

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?
It is a generic chararcter, so there - although of course my writing would bring him or her to life as a rounded, recognisable and hilarious cross between Del Boy and Sir Humphrey Appleby. Yeah, he's a he. Derek Appleby, good name for a mod that. Known online as DezzA.
I think I may be broken.
