This competition is a great way of making you focus on a pitch for your ideas

You can only put in 3 and I'm not sure I put the right three in so I'm putting them all up here. What worries me is that the two that sound worst are the two I've written/am writing. I'm not sure if that's because I know them so well it's hard to make them a simple pitch or because they are less instrinsically funny. Anyway here are the 5. See if you can spot the two I've written and let me know which you think work.

Dave is invincible but he's weak, unfit cowardly, no sense of public service and doesn't want to leave godalming to be a superhero

Three mates always tell great stories about their mate jack except he doesn't exist at least not until he's invited to one of them's wedding

Two flatmates are dumped for being boring and then compete to teach a grown man who's been bedridden since he was 13 how to have fun

A 6yr old girl can get anyone to do what she asks as long as she says please. One cousin wants to use her to save the world, the other to get the girl.

  1. Blimey Nick, you wrote a lot recently. your labels gave away the two that you've written though.. I like the last one, though i feel that it can be as much as drama as a comedy the way it's worded at the moment.

    Also like your rats on tfl idea. I can still remember the secret of nimh pretty well, although somehow i'm picturing in my head the rats as characters from snatch.
