Some good names in theory. And a good project. But the fact that the best thing it's ever given us is Phoneshop is pretty damning.

I started writing a sitcom once about a research agency (one of those things where 4 experts sit on one side of invisible glass whilst 20 'experts' / members of joe public slag off your hard work). It basically showed how as a society, we've lost most of that older generation who'd put their bollocks on the line and make a decision. It ended with one of the moderators hanging himself behind the glass and no-one knowing because they were too busy dissecting whether the colour beige or light blue is more 'optimistic'.

Not sure it would have been that good...
