Create a new sitcom / soap set in Brighton..

[16bha]

If you were going to create a new sitcom or soap (non football related) set in Brighton what would it be?

Who are the characters?
Will it be comedy or serious day to day issues ?
what would be your opening subject matter for episode 1?
what current actors would you pick as characters?

Not so much a soap but more a fly on the wall reality show, similar to The Call Centre but based in a busy taxi office.

I say this because last weekend I went into Arrow Cars at Worthing station, and it was fascinating. There were about 8 people on the phones, some hilarious conversations with customers, drunk people demanding cabs, abusive people pissed off because their cab was late, drivers with their stories to tell. If they can make a program about a chicken shop, then they could make one about a cab office !

I work in a homeless day centre. The absolute rollercoaster of emotions I have during a single day is incredible. People tarnish the street community with one brush but since working with them I've met some of the funniest, most intelligent, honest, rudest, unpleasent,friendliest, desperate, hopeful people i've ever met. It's such a mixed bag

What about a sitcom called "Dicks". Set in a gay bar owned by a metrosexual hairdresser called Paulie Hotspur.

Times are hard, money's TIGHT. The latest 'Sausage and Babycham' promotion has bombed.

Along comes multi-billionaire, Antoni. INJECTS large amounts into the business. Forces out the longtime diehard customers and strives to replace them with corporate JCLs in his new Levi 501 lounge with live streaming and high class seafood baguettes.

In the first episode someone makes a bit of a 'Bobby Sands' in the gladees loo and all hell breaks loose.
Paulie is suspended and eventually replaced with an up and coming Spanish hotel worker from Benidorm.

A ginger bearded football genius signs from Swansea. With hilarious consequences.

How about a sitcom called Pier Pressure, based on the day to day shenagans on the Palace Pier and their hilarious rivalries with their erstwhile 'peers' a mile to the West of them.............. .........,......... Duoh!

Some of my brother in laws work for them and they usual have a tale or two at times. That is actually a good idea!

Sequel to Sugar Rush, called Tudor Close, named after the epynominous (or whatever) pub in South Ferring where he gets caught up in village life - really a cross between Brookside and Howards Way with cameos from local millionaires, sports personalities and local people, the major plot centered around the potential introduction of a new beer from Lewes. This would involve Harveys reps becoming involved with barmaids, feuds, relationships, scandal with OG heading the brewery and trying to keep the peace whilst trying to simaltanously sustain the Premier League aspirations of a local football team. To calm matters, he would bring in Inigo Calderon as the new head barman whilst there was interference from a former Palace director living in the locality.................................
