lazy tv ideas.

It's been a while since we had a ecent competition at the LLC, so I thought long and hard and remembered something we can steal from lee and herring.

They would brainstorm lazy comedy ideas for the BBC, based on real programmes. Their ideas would usually include characters called Ian - a running joke which also featured in Sunday Heroes, with one of the disciples being called Ian. Programme examples included:

Roll Reversal
Ian Roll is a driving instructor, Ian Reversal is a baker. They swap jobs, etc. With hilarious consequences.

Chalk and Cheese
Ian Chalk and Ian Cheese are two men. They are very different. However, they eventually become friends and realise they are not so different after all. With hilarious consequences.

Bent Coppers
Ian and Iain Bent are brothers who are policemen. One is corrupt and the other is homosexual. They both suffer from curvature of the spine, and they're made of copper. With hilarious consequences.

Fruit and Nuts
Ian Fruit and Ian Nuts are room-mates. Ian Fruit is allergic to nuts and Ian Nuts is allergic to fruit. Ian Nuts is a homicidal maniac. Consequently, he's always trying to sneak fruit and nuts into everything they eat. With hilarious consequences.

That reminds me of Thick and Beefy, a TV cop duo my friend Roy came up with after eating some so-named sausages. The tagline was "Jim Thick and Betty Beefy - she's got fat legs and he's docile."

Don't nick that for your act. I know where you blog.
