BBC Writing Competition


This looks really interesting... I might have a go at this. I have no high hopes of winning but if I don't enter, I definitely won't win.

We may as well go ahead and win it. Then we'll have to move to England. Eat broth.
Is that what you folks eat Russus? Dr J? Broth?

RUSSUS -> Broth AND pudding. Sometimes we even add flavor to the pudding. The broth too.

I have heard of Bangers and Mash... it's a food dish and a sex maneuver.

You must be masking your IP address - only people at Area 51 are privy to these files...

Are you really just pulling this out of the air?

What you have here is a diagram for creating an AVE Mizar. The language is phorlompian from Phorlomp, the 4th planet in orbit around the Mizar Star. Odd though, this machine does not actaully fly. Weird.

Intriguing....

Marks & Gran - Birds of a Feather, The New Statesman
Paul Mayhew Archer - My Hero, The Vicar of Dibley
Bain & Armstrong - Peep Show
Carla Lane - Bread, Butterflies
Jonathan Harvey - Gimme Gimme Gimme
Trix Worrell - Desmonds, Porkpie
Ian Pattison - Rab C Nesbitt
Brown & Hendrie - My Family



I wish I knew even a little about these shows.

Anybody here know of them?

Nope. All Brit sitcoms. I've seen 'The Vicar of Dibley' coz Miranda sent me a vid. I think that's still on air; the others are old shows from way back. Gotta say, I wouldn't even try for this coz going by the 'Vicar of Dibley' the humor's nuthin; like we're used to over here, Abdul.

Lotsa Brit slang, topical UK allusions and stuff that meant nuthin to me.

Perhaps you're right. We can pickup on and laugh at Basil Faulty or Python but lots of their humor is so topical we'd have to live there for a couple of years to begin to understand their culture, their laff buttons.
They're still awfully clever though with words.

Okay, yup... me too. I am too ali... American to give it an honest go. I'll wait for the American equivalent of the BBC (who is that???) to run their own contest.
Righty Oh... cheerio, pip pip and all that now... emoticon

I forgot to mention (and I forgot to do it), a while back the Bravo network had a contest where you got to create an entire sitcom script.
