BBC Comedy Sitcom?

Question

Hey, As this is an international platform for answers I note some of you may not be familiar with the BBC - Which is primarily a British Broadcasting Channel with hits such as Little Britain and The Office as comedy succeses in recent years. I am 18 and am by self promotion a funny guy and I am transferring this to sitcom...After having seen the trailers for what appear as comedy car wrecks of new pilots this year I thought I could create my own comedy series..........It centres on two men one who is not homphobic but is not cultured to the idea when in fact he discovers his fatter friend is not so much a deviant as a gay man...this is wrapped in awkward situation comedy which I feel would appeal to both straight and gau audiences.....Is this a good premise and if I were to write a clever sitcom what are the chances that the BBC or any other network would even see such a young guy writing and perhaps starring in comedy sitcom???

Answer 1

Hi

Firstly it's the 'British Broadcasting Corporation' , not 'channel'

The idea you describe has been done several times, the most famous probably being 'Gimme, Gimme, Gimme' although this featyred a sex-maniac woman (Kathy Burke) who shared a flat waith a 'gay' man, (James Dreyfus).

Many of the plots centred around her rfrustrtation at wanting sex when he was interested only in men.

As far as writing is concerned you need to write some original material and submit a sample scene with a brief resume of the plot to the various tv stations. You can find their addresses on line. In my area, for example, i would write to Granada TV in Quay Street, Manchester. Yours may be different.

If you wish to submit to the BBC go on to their Home Page on the web and look for 'Writers Room' which tells you how to submit your script. Good luck. Hope to see your stuff on TV someday
