Critic opinions:
"I laughed over and over again, loudly and gracelessly, during BBC1's Car Share" - Grace Dent
"Peter Kay's Car Share will leave a daft grin on your face" - Micheal Hogan
"Kay’s new un-hyped TV show is big-hearted and silly and reminds us what a terrific comic actor he can be" - Brian Logan
"The script is sharp and Kay’s performance is completely natural" - Christopher Stevens
Codes and conventions of sitcoms:
Running jokes, a comic trap (the situation the characters are in which is the premise of the whole show), one-liners, a laugh track/canned laughter, parody/spoof, satire, locations that the show is frequently set in that the audience will recognize, a recognizable theme tune.
Very good, maybe write something about Peter Kay's past work in sitcom.
