This is from the thread about the various shows on Comedy Lab at the time.

COMEDY LAB 2003

Channel 4's Entertainment Department is looking for submissions
for the 6th series of Comedy Lab, which will be broadcast in
Autumn/Winter 2003.

Comedy Lab gives new performers, writers, directors and producers
the chance to gain valuable television experience. It has also
spawned successful, innovative series, such as Trigger Happy TV,
Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights and The Richard Taylor Interviews.
The creative brief is necessarily broad. This is a genuine opportunity
to be adventurous, challenging and different. Stand-up comedy
per se is not something we're actively looking for... whereas an
innovative vehicle for an exciting new comic is. We're looking for
original approaches to traditional genres such as formatted shows,
narrative and broken comedy, as well as truly experimental pieces
from writers and performers whose work doesn't easily fit any of
the established entertainment strands.

The slot length is 30 minutes (which actually means 23:45) – but
we are very happy to commission 11/12 minute programmes to
accommodate ideas which wouldn't sustain the full half hour.
Money will be allocated on the basis of sensible, realistic budgets.
There is not a fixed price for the slot – each programme will be
financed according to its needs. Bear in mind that this is not the
place for extensive foreign travel, elaborate sets and a cast of
thousands. It would be wise to discuss budgetary requirements
at the earliest possible stage in order to avoid disappointment and
to think around any problems in a constructive way.

Ideally, projects will be submitted via a production company.
If, as a writer or performer, you don't feel you have the necessary
contacts to take this route, please feel free to submit direct to us,
and if we are keen on the idea, we will work together with you to
find the right production company for your project.

Please note, that due to the sheer volume of submissions, we will
not be accepting proposals via email.

Please submit your ideas to:

I know David V! I was going to post a message asking someone to confirm that I had the correct name, but no need now.
