A letter to the BBC Comedy Department

Dear BBC Comedy Department,

I'm writing today to pitch you an idea for a sitcom. No wait don't rip up this letter, please hear me out. I promise it will be worth your while. But, before I pitch you the brilliant sitcom, let me describe how I came to this idea.

Watching BBC sitcoms recently it seems as though you really love ones involving the family. I mean haven't you commissioned a fifteenth series of 'My Family', which is just hilarious and a great example of original comedy on the BBC. Who knows, maybe Robert Lindsay's character will commit suicide when he realises there's a fifteenth series? That could be funny? No?

However, this family theme is not just for one sitcom, there's another one called The Life of Riley. How funny is that? One of the children has glasses and braces! Hilarious. So the BBC likes family sitcoms, which means what I'm pitching to you needs to be family focused. But what else do I need to give my sitcom the x-factor over others?

I think I know the answer, the one and only Will Mellor. He has to be the funniest actor ever. He's just in so many sitcoms - 2 pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps (still funny) and White Van Man (original), to name a few. He must be funny, surely? He's just in so many funny programmes. Funny man. Funny.

So with all of the above in mind I have come up with the most unbelievable, mind-numbingly amazing sitcom idea ever. The idea I'm proposing is......Oh wait, I've just seen a new sitcom advertised on the BBC, wait a minute......a new family sitcom starring Will Mellor, In With the Flynns. Oh shit, that's my idea out the window.

Well I'm out of ideas now.....that's a shame. Maybe I could come back with something (un)original later. In the meantime I'm looking forward to another family sitcom in the near future and another series of Coming of Age - I mean that shit is hilarious! Anyway, I digress, we'll speak to you soon with more crazy ideas. Keep the humour up, I'm eagerly awaiting the third series of Life of Riley, fingers crossed there will be a joke in it this time. Right time to go.

Speak laters,

Jack.
