My sitcom


I am going to write a sitcom. It will be called either Mooncop or Roborotica. Mooncop is the touching story of a police officer named Trey from Monaghan. Although his accent is annoying and almost unbearable to listen to, he has a kind heart and his job provides a good service to the community. I know what you’re thinking, Monaghan should be left to their own devices so they eventually eradicate themselves, but that just isn’t fair. You can’t single Monaghan out like, for there are so many other counties to plot genocide in. I honestly couldn’t pick which one I want destroyed the most. He is the father of one child and is married to a girl who is good looking by Monaghan standards, but on a city scale, she is fucking puck. This will be a subplot throughout the series in which he tries to enter his wife in “America’s Next Top Model” esque competitions on the moon. Although her opponents are disgusting moon beasts, she cannot win. Every episode will have a section done in montage format showcasing her various competition losses. Anyway, the recession becomes increasingly bad and to combat this, Fine Gael sends Civil Servants into space. As part of a training group, Trey is sent into space to traverse and colonize the moon. While there, he goes on all sorts of wacky adventures with other civil servants. Mooncop is a very clever name because he is a cop on the moon. One other character I have planned is a teacher who is also sent on the mission. He is from Longford and loves board games and vegan food. It is a constant source of irritation for everyone else on the moon as he constantly complains about the lack of vegan cuisine and the rights of animals. He is an annoying, but loveable hero. The real twist in the story is when Trey falls in love with a self-aware nose hair trimmer named Barbera (The way the name is spelled is a pun) half way through the season. This is why I had the idea to call the show Roborotica. I’m not sure how most stations feel about hardcore man/machine penetration, so it will be probably air on Channel 4.
