The Brontë sitcom strikes back

The Scotsman chats with Stewart Lee, who recently mentioned he was working on a Brontë sisters sitcom. Here's what he says about it today.

I'm involved in two pilots right now, but I've emotionally distanced myself from both. If they're made, great. But I'll write them for the money. It's a way of subsidising other things."
The first is a sitcom about the Brontë sisters, written by a cadre of female comedians, that he is script-editing.
"Typically, being the best script I've ever worked on, it'll be turned down," he cackles.
The other is his own sitcom about the Norse god Thor. (Jay Richardson)

The best script he's ever worked on? We have a strange mixture of fear and curiosity when it comes to this project.
