[Pantone247]

I've got a meeting with the board of directors of UKGOLD in twenty minutes to pitch some of my ideas a new sitcom they want to commision, only I fell asleep last week and forgot to come up with any... could you all post a few up?

So far I've got

1. 'Pigeons' - 4 single pigeons all live on the same tree, neurotic in various ways, on again off again relationship between two of them, running gag about pooing on statues

2. The Copy Shop - 4 single twenty somethings work in a copy shop,various neurosis, Copymaster(c) chain want to buy shop, on again off again relationship, running joke about being out of toner

3. D.I.Y. Till I D.I.E. - 4 single twenty somethings live in a squat, do crafting to bring down state, a bit like Friends but with more glitter glue and photocopying, Young Ones-esque guest punk band play every week. Running gag about... a dog... on a string...

4. I am Board. 40 single twenty somethings, all post on message board, various neurosis, real time footage cut with lawnmower man style CGI to represent internet postings, Lemon Jelly to do sound track culiminates in double on-line wedding/sucicide cliff hanger, leaving door open for second series...




I'm so fucked...

"two many cooks" - two cooks live with each other.

"a bird in the hand" - a man who minds birds in a zoo's quest for a new girlfriend. His bird-like habits turn them off.

"a rolling stone" - a man named moss works in a quarry and gets stoned all day.

"gift horse" - a man spends all day looking at a horse's mouth.

 

[Froog]

"out of this world" - a huge gas giant and a smaller m-class planet move in together with hilarious consequences.

 

[Pantone247]

"Cum As You Are" - The hilarious goings on at Sperm Bank, lots of nerosis, on again, off again relationships, in joke about... uh... catchphrase!... "I wouldn't sit there if I were you!"

fucking gold!!!

 

[Pantone247]

"Culchies" 4 of THE LADS! move to Dublin, action set in shit flat, comedy revolves around them being dense and going to Flannerys, on again/off again relationship with various dregs from Cooperface PLUS comedy knowing glances to camera, alá Tim from the office, from any city folk.... gets pognient when they realise they're a out of their depth in the city and go home to bog-land. Saw doctors to do theme tune.

I like the way you've spelt neurosis at least 3 or 4 different ways in the descriptions!

Waiting for oddo.

4 twentysomething TV writers sit around a writers room desperately trying to come up with a zany pitch for a new sit-com. Off again, on again relationships in the minds of the 3 nerdish, shy, bookish male writers between them and the talented, pretty Tina Fey type. Running gag that none of the dudes will talk to her when she addresses them.

 

[Moods For Mallards]

"Twentysomethings" - Twenty unsuited things put randomly together in a Ranelagh loft apartment. Each week, the things are different and the eventual goal is to get people to text in what things you want in the apartment next week and collect the money to pay for next week's things.

Mike that was your suggestion last week when I was pitching for Wildlife Documentary for BBC 4. Just drop it already...


"Creche" - four hilariously inept creche workers, edgy comedy derived from their blantent disregard for child safety, turning up drunk, exploiting creche as child labour camp and, in final episode, locking all the kids in creche while they persue postman with letter they didn't mean to send. Will need disclaimer at start. Probably at the end too.

"Pedants" pack of jelaous pedantic pricks try to take wind out of genius type comedy writers sails by picking over minor shitting details that no one gives a crap about anyway. On again off again relationship with their own right hand. Various nereouisis, etc, etc...

 

[nooleen]

just rip off 'drunken bakers', the tv execs probably don't read viz.

 

[Moods For Mallards]

"Fare City" - taxi drivers, etc.

 

[nooleen]

Two and a Half Yen - japanese version of 8 ace, about a drunken family man and his ongoing battle with bargain sake.

 

[Pantone247]

"Band on the Bun" 4 twenty something mcdonalds workers form band, like the monkee's, chase's around the kitchen transform suddenly into musical comedy numbers, customers dance on tables, big product placement potential. Note to self" Myspace Humanzi, see if tour diary is busy...

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

I hear one of those lads from Humanzi is working for UKGOLD now.
