I'm not sure setting matters anymore. I don't really think it ever did. Characters are what people buy into. You can still set stuff in corner shops or the war...
I think it was actually called 'The Peter Principal'. Based on the idea that everyone gets promoted to one level beyond their competence. ... Anyone ... write...

hi all, just wondered if anyone caught the double header of this and what did you think? Is british sitcom shite? Going off this it looks like we've ran out of...
I saw it and I really don't know - I can't decide whether emailing the fire service was such genius it outweighed the bits that didn't work (and it was made...

I caught the first episode, couldn't stomach a second helping though. It's remarkably like Black Books, three immensly shallow characters stuck in a rut....
I liked it. I wasn't sure after the first episode but the second was better. The opener set up the characters and the second episode set up the world they live...

Hold the boat...everyone knows they're FILMED in front of live studio audiences, but the laughter tracks are put in so as not to disrupt the edit. And yes I...
