Streets Apart, 1988

Thank you for reviewing my series. Glad you remembered it. A third series was supposed to happen.
I had another sitcom A Slight Hitch. The pilot was broadcast I have posted the show in 2 parts on Utube.
had been scratching my head over this one for a while, but kept forgetting it often happens. If you’d like o write an article giving some background to the series i’d love to re-run the post and add your article. i remember the series when it was broadcast. If you interested drop me a line at britishclassiccomedy@me.com
Hi, just found your message. I will write about the series when time allows. Thank you for your interest. About how many words?

Nice to hear from you again, we look forward to it. No specifics on words, our readers will clearly be interested in the back story, how it came about getting commissioned you know the type of thing. I think it will be fascinating to get the story behind a sitcom from the actual writer and think it will go down well with our readers.
I still sing the theme tune “2 different people in 2 different worlds”, bit cheesy looking back.
It was actually two series of six episodes each.
