Every TV Comedy Series starts somewhere - even the GREATS such as legendary writer John Sullivan's 'Only Fools and Horses' - and the question here is; 'Has this idea got legs'? NOT; 'Is This the 'comedic equivalent of Usain Bolt'?

Look back at the very first episode of many established and loved UK TV Comedy Series and you will not only see how 'naive' and even 'amateurish' the writing is but also how 'skeletal' some of the characters are in comparison to the razor-sharp writing and 'fleshed-out' characters of the series as it progressed and evolved.

Yes - even the iconic 'Del-Boy' and co in the first episode - take a look.

I am not claiming that this from Ellie Brew is anywhere near 'Fools and Horses' (which UK Sit-Com is?) but even now - from the promo clip - it certainly is highly comparable to 'Benidorm', and the collective experience, skill, guidance and money of the production companies is sometimes all it takes to turn 'raw potential' into the 'finished article'.

I wish Ellie luck.

Very true Kirk, the entire first SEASON of most long-running TV shows, when looked back upon, can objectively be realised to be nowhere near the quality of where they arrived eventually... and pilot episodes can be straight up bad.

I watched the unaired "network pitch" pilot episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer a while ago (where Willow is played by a totally different girl D: ) and it's straight up awful :joker:. I guess the people it was pitched to could see the potential, though, and took it on whilst suggesting some tweaks. Such as firing poor Willow #1.

There are a FEW shows that totally nail their first season but, to be honest, when that happens they quite often spend the next few years chasing their own tail, trying and failing to recapture what was great about it, and don't last many seasons overall. Ch. 4's "Misfits" is a prime example of that S1 was amazing, 2 was pretty good, 3 was "OK" and then it ran out of steam.

TBQFH (sorry Lostie!!) ... Lost is another one. S1 of Lost is almost perfect. It never reaches the same level again.

It has potential. It seems on an amateur level as Derry Girls is to be honest and I adore that. The lead girl seems pretty great, who is she?

Her name is Claire Crossland

A brilliant upcoming actress in Liverpool

Th e fact you said 'gay man' when 'her' comedy show suggests otherwose

Don't deny the fact you asked a NEW member if they suffered from autism to try and push out a few hoarse laughs from people

Elliebrew is a male :umm2:

Last time I looked anyway haha

Serious great feedback guys thank you xx

Have you never liked a show that's not had your demographic as it's target audience before? I know that I have.

Good luck with this anyway Elliebrew.

Very good editing & well-put together :clap1:

Thank you Shaun x

What is my demographic? I didn't know I had one.

But to answer you.

From watching the trailer, I know I wouldn't get that humour, and that means I probably wouldn't laugh, which is problem when watching a comedy.

Humour is the subjective thing is the world

It is informed by your background, you taste in popular culture, your taste in people etc

What is your taste in comedy's might I ask

I'd definitely watch this show, really enjoyed the trailer :)

thank you darling xx

For a so called writer, your grammar is quite awful. I'm beginning to doubt that you wrote this.:eureka:

Actually looks fun!

Keep us informed how it goes

You can doubt as much as you want

I'm typing quickly on an iPhone

Grammar is the least of my concern on a forum TBCH

...there are some really great comedy character potentials in there, elliebrew...and the vid is so professionally put together as well..wow, well done..:lovedup:...I hope your pitch is successful and such good luck with it all..:love:...definately characters worth investing in I think...

...so much potential for TiBB reaction gifs as well..:laugh:..even in that few minutes of video...always a good sign...

Just seen this feedback Ammi

Thank so much xx

Looks really good well done on the production especially.

One question though did you get permission from Little Mix and Jess Glynn to use their music if not you could get in a lot of trouble regarding copyright.
