THANKS. I am co-writing a screenplay for TV which is a comedy but not the usual half hour episode. Each episode is an hour long (if youremember "Moonlighting" with Bruce Willis ...an hour episode showing once a week.?) Not sure if this will be as popular as the half hour sit-coms but we wanted to create something different for TV viewers. It's a crazy action comedy we want to expand. I am in the UK writing for British TV although the story is set in both the UK & USA . THANKS Buddy! x

I wrote a series about Sherlock. (Series 2) But of course the BBC don't accept scripts about shows that have already been made. Shame really :(

@P4PSuperJudah I think it is 1 page = 1 minute.

How long should a standard episode be in pages?

Thank you! I am trying to nail down a new Comedy Sitcom, but know very little about how to "break-in" as a writer. I guess I am looking for a producer.
