Unit 24: Writing for Television and Video Class Task - Sitcom

Undercover: Lines of Justice


"State of mind, high.
 Chance of success, low."


Today my group (Matty, Kane and Taylor) researched the themes of our sitcom idea.

Drug themes
Breaking Bad and Weeds are both TV programmes following drug related storylines, however they only have entertaining characters; the characters and the situations aren’t comedic.
The film’s Jump Street 21 and Jump Street 22 are comedies. There are two main characters that are undercover agents; they portray a funny side to drug abuse.

Undercover Agents
Disguise one’s own identity for the purpose of gaining the trust of an individual or organisation to learn or confirm confidential information, or to gain the trust of targeted individuals in order to gather information or evidence. There are certain risks to being a undercover agent. Some can result in strains in a relationship, the need for secrecy and the inability to share work problems can prove a problem. The unpredictable work schedule along with personality and lifestyle changes can also pose a threat. Stress can be caused by not knowing when the investigation will actually end.
