I came up with this in my youth and was convinced I would become rich, only to discover (I think) it already existed:
Where There's a Will There's a Way.
A wealthy person with no family hosts Batchelor/Apprentice-style competition to see who gets written into their will.
Another one my friend and I actually tried to write a pilot for before realising it was terrible:
Riggs n Mortice.
A sitcom set in a mortuary with characters called Riggs and Mortice.

Was one of them a plucky young mortician and the other one a jaded old one who's just a few more days until retirement?

Surely that should be called Rigg or Mortice? And they're competing to be the lead mortician.
Actually... that's not a bad idea for a bake off style competition.

Pretty sure it was basically Open All Hours but in a morgue. There’s definitely room for a mortuary based sitcom though, the comic possibilities are endless.

The Golden Girls, except there's only three of them, and one of them's a dog.
The scripts practically write themselves.
Magcastle and Hawaii Fat Man
Two dudes race around Hawaii in a sports car, one of them is slightly older than the other so gets to call the younger one 'kid' or 'sport' a lot. They solve crimes from another epoch totally unrelated to any current crisis in order to make you feel good about how shit everything is now, and Doug McClure comes back from the dead to be a supporting character one week and a villain a few weeks later, because you won't remember.

Match of the Gay.
Philip Schofield lights an entire box of matches, one after the other, to see which one stays lit the longest.

The "Jurassic Bark" episode of Futurama, but Seymour has been replaced with the Nina Chimera from Full Metal Alchemist, just to shit people up even further.

I think it's playing on the stereotypical image of the WI as being old women making jam and baking cakes.
They're actually pretty switched on when it comes to social issues and have given many a PM a rough ride at their conference.

Post by rawshark on Aug 30, 2022 9:41:29 GMT
I've always wanted to pitch an action-packed show about a chalk and cheese cop duo.
Michael Cole: suave ladies man who can charm anyone with his wit and a few glasses of babycham.
Benjamin Minor-Strike: Loose cannon who'll break all the rules to find the killer of his wife, (Bea Minor).
Together they are... COLE/MINOR STRIKE!
It's set in 1984 South Yorkshire, obviously.
