Ideal collaboration?

If you could see any of your comedy hero's working together on a project who would you choose?
I'd go with her man Morris and Bob Mortimer. I don't know if it would work but I'd like to see it.

I've always been annoyed that Tony Law and Stewart Lee's sitcom about Thor was never picked up by the BBC, I asked Tony recently if they'd consider publishing the scripts in book form but Lee refuses to entertain the idea unfortunately. I hope they work again together in the future though as I think something by them could be really interesting.

I had this idea for a sitcom about a group of former great comedians ending up in a house share together. Real life out of favour comics playing themselves. Like a scripted comic Big Brother.

Can we cast Toyah Willcox in the role of the landlady?  £260 says that we can.

I'd like to see Nathan Fielder working with Eric Andre and Victor Lewis Smith. And possibly Adam Buxton supplying additional material, but not collaborating on the main thing (see Time Trumpet). Cool right?

I don't know why everyone here is so down on Time Trumpet!

It would have been amazing if Peter Cook and Chris Morris got their collab on, but sadly Cookie's dead so that'll never happen.

By the way, that was an insanely fast response.

Time Trumpet was great. Don't listen to these sad fools!

The reason I don't like Time Trumpet is that I used to own a literal Time Trumpet but it was taken from me. So when the tv show aired I felt like I was being taunted. The state of this thread now, eh?

I'd love see these out-of-work comics in a REAL Big Brother. But that's for another thread...

Speaking of real that was another crazy idea I had. That the show was be tied in with a real life variety act performed by the cast.

Someone mentioned this recently but they sort of did this back in 2004 with Kings of Comedy - https://www.theguardian.com/media/2004/oct/08/broadcasting.realitytv

I'd love to see this.

It's not on any of the torrent sites I use unfortunately but I'm not a member of the well known British one, and if it's anywhere it'll be there, so maybe someone will be able to help you out, I watched it at the time and remember it being quite fun though once Scott Capurro was evicted it wasn't as good.
