How did Graham and Arthur get their work known to the right people?
Arthur and I were lucky enough to have a flair (I guess) for writing sketches, so we sent a few to the producers of ‘Smith and Jones’, who are always looking for fresh writers. We hung around the Talkback offices while that series was in preproduction and picked up lots of tips and contacts. After a while, we were in a good position to hand over a few sitcom ideas to various companies. I should stress we did not plan to do it that way–we just did it, and then realised later that we had done it that way. It was very much an organic, instinctive process.
