LAB RATS

Written by Chris Addison and Carl Cooper, Lab Rats is a daft audience sitcom set in a university research laboratory. It starred Chris as well-meaning but weak Dr Alex Beenyman, Geoffrey McGivern as Professor John Mycroft, Jo Enright as Alex's best friend Cara, Selina Cadell as the Dean, Helen Moon as secretary Minty Clapper and me (in an unflattering wig) as a sociopath called Brian.

Lab Rats is due to go out on BBC2 in 2008. Both The Times and The Independent think it's going to be hot.

THE OMID DJALILI SHOW

The Iranian comedian's Dave Allen-esque mix of stand-up and sketches started on BBC1 in November 2007. I wrote a couple of sketches across the series including an expensive-looking Jane Austen piss take and a sketch about some Crusaders living in a semi-detatched.

A second series of The Omid Djalili Show is currently in production.

AFTER YOU'VE GONE

A new sitcom starring Nicholas Lyndhurst and Celia Imrie starting on BBC1 in January 2007. Created by Fred Barron with a writing team made up of James Hendrie and Ian Brown, Andrea Solomon, Katie Douglas and me. Already described by the Radio Times as 'moth-eaten', After You've Gone also features Ryan Sampson, Dani Harmer, Lee Oakes and Amanda Abbington. There's also a guest appearance from Alexander Armstrong in the episode I wrote and a good pun about pith helmets. Moth-eaten, eh? 

The DVD of Series One is available to buy.

THE BASIL BRUSH SHOW

Ha ha ha BOOM BOOM! The Brush returned to our screens in 2002 with a bang - and scripts from Robins and Tetsell. We weren't responsible for making the new Basil 'fat and gay' (copyright Lazy Tabloid Filler Pieces Inc.) but we were to blame for the episode where a farmer suffers head trauma from a man trap. Danny and I wrote ourselves cameos as Lazy Writers in 'Taste The Blood of Brushcula'.

The DVD of Basil Brush - Unleashed which contains our first episode is available to buy here.

THE A TO Z OF MUSIC

A shoestring guide to Pop, Dance, Hip Hop, Indie and Rock for Channel 4's 4Music strand. Fronted by Marcus Brigstocke the show also featured Danny and I as, among other things, two thirds of the Beastie Boys, some Christian rockers, a pair of unconvincing bad boy homies and the Amish Hanson.

ACCORDING TO BEX

Another sitcom created by Fred Barron and written in the American team-writing style with Kaite Douglas and Julia Barron. The series starred Jessica 'Spaced' Stevenson with Greg 'Sense and Sensibility' Wise, Green Wing's Oliver Chris, Zita 'Casualty' Satar, Raquel Cassidy off of Teachers and Lynda LaPlante's Killer Net and Clive Russell, who was in Spaced and Happiness, but most interestingly played a Viking in 'The Thirteenth Warrior' opposite Antonio Banderas. A second series was commissioned but cancelled after the first series was regularly beaten in the ratings by a BBC2 documentary about Edwardian home movies. Eagle-eared viewers may have heard me in one episode as the voice of an angry vicar. That's right, look impressed.
