Do you think radio is still important in the continued development of sitcom?
I agree that radio sitcoms have in the past played a massive part in the development of sitcom,but i dont think that the radio is still important to sitcom, sitcom on the television is alot more visual and real, a hell of alot more people watch television than that listen to the radio. I agree with how important the radio has been to tv sitcom especially since it originated from the radio!
I listened to Yes, minister, a popular show on the BBC's biggest comedy radio show, i thought it was a bit high brow for me, it wasnt real and i thought it was just like listening to some men in a room. Although i did listen The Burkiss Way, which i thought was quite funny, very slapstick but quite funny. I dont prefer it to tv sitcoms but i think thats because they are much more mainstream.
Yes many popular tv sitcom's have come from the radio but they are much better on the tv than the radio, i listened to Dad's army and as i have seen this on tv a few times, i knew what it was about, but it couldnt compare to the tv sitcom, which in itself isnt that good.
There are some good radio sitcoms, like the Burkiss Way, (been listening to it for like an hour!) and Dead Ringers, which i think is better but on the radio!
But basically no i dont think the radio is still important in the continued development of sitcom.

Vicar of Dibley
O yehh, i got Vicar Of Dibley! =PWhen their vicar passed away in the middle of a service, the inhabitants of the small Oxfordshire village of Dibley expected his replacement to be another old man with a beard, a Bible and bad breath.
Geraldine Grainger is the jolly, down-to-earth female vicar of Dibley, a small country village inhabited by oddballs. After overcoming the town's initial shock at her gender Geraldine helps to improve the village.
It was voted 3rd in a poll of the twenty best british sitcoms on www.sitcom.co.uk
Wednesdays Lesson
In Wednesdays lesson, We started off with a quiz about Sitcom's (ofcourse) we had to match up the Genre, tagline & date it started.
We were then put into groups of two's and three's, with the intentions of producing a sitcom. We randomly picked a character, a setting & the plot.
My team picked the setting a farm, our character was a incompetent boss and our plot was the workers go on strike. We came up with 'The farmyard' as our title and had three other characters called, Jim, Doug & Fred. We dedided on a plot, that Fred & Jim go on strike and Doug doesnt, and how the imcompetent boss didnt know what to do.
It was a Point of view style sitcom, which was thirty minute's long and aimed at 30+ Male and female.
We also learned about Treatments, Synopsis & Loglines.
