In a surprise move one high profile sitcom star is set to break ranks with their contemporaries by actually starring in a new sitcom.
The move has taken media by surprise, as in recent years successful sitcom performers have only been making travelogues. Quite often with a parent in tow, where they schlep around the countryside, or indeed in some cases the world, voicing over sumptuous shots of stunning scenery, sampling exotic culture and food and simply having one massive freebie they are then able to pass off as a TV show.
One such star who wished to remain anonymous commenting on the news said, 'I suppose I understand what's happening. It's their conscience. Guilt at betraying their artistic integrity and all that highfalutin cobblers. But, look. I had the pressure of writing my show, learning lines and then the sheer hard graft of getting it in the can. Out on shoots at all hours in the bloody freezing cold weather.
'Well now that I've made a name for myself my fans can sod that for a game of soldiers. I'm off to Australia with my Mum and an ITV cameraman next month for what's essentially a six-week all-expenses-paid 5-star holiday. And I'll probably win a BAFTA for my trouble. A fat lot more than I ever got for making people laugh.'
