Brilliant. Like attending a free writing course

Great pod; informative, funny & full of tips on the sitcom that I’m never getting round to write. These lads really know what they’re talking about.

Excellent show, helpful, informative and good to listen to.

If you’re interested in writing comedy or, in fact writing for TV or Radio at all in the UK then this is essential listening.

Thanks.
