Tenerife’s first sitcom writers?
By Joe | May 6, 2008
Life is pretty exciting at the moment. Sometimes it can be a plain bore, a never ending succession of menial features to write, facts to check, chores to avoid and kid’s toys to mend. At the moment though, it’s EXCITING. Sorry, I shouted.
I’m currently awaiting the verdict on a sitcom that I’ve co-written with a long-standing friend and colleague, Lee Bullen. Normally more adept at scratching out witty cartoons and catchy graphics, Bully - as his friends call him (you can call him Mr. Bullen until you buy him beer) - turns out to be mighty fine at writing too!
Anyway, we knocked up the first episode of a new TV sitcom in record time, fuelled by Jack Daniels and Farley’s Rusks (not in the same glass, you freak), and have sent said sitcom to a professional script consultant in Blighty. This one.
Currently, Bully and myself are awaiting a summons to the land they call the BBC, to be awarded immediate fame and glory and a handsome commission to write more. Toothbrush and tux are at the ready. You’re all invited to the opening party, by the way.
All will be revealed this time next week apparently, when the fruits of our labour will be returned with flourishes of red pen and a yay or nay as to whether it has potential. Handily, the analyst in question is chummy with several commissioner-types and promises to insert a word in the right ear should he deem our sitcom as worthy.
But even if it doesn’t make the grade, I have several other cunning plans up my sleeve. All of which make me tingly with excitement. These will be revealed in good time.
In the meantime, watch this space.
No, not that one.
The bit above, where my next post will appear.
